Kyra is a Valkyrie who runs a pest control business dealing with magical beasties. This time she has been called out to deal with three satyrs who are causing mischief at a school. But it turns out she might have to deal with something more difficult she soon learns. Maybe the mysterious man who turns up could be of assistance?

This was a cute story with a very likeable heroine. I liked the writing and the dialogue flowed easily.

I also loved the little octopus ,wich turns out to be a pygmy kraken

Will definetely pick up the next book in the series. Though this is just a prequel novella so the actual first book is [b:Dragons Don't Eat Meat|53341738|Dragons Don't Eat Meat (Valkyrie Bestiary #1)|Kim McDougall|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1588800610l/53341738._SY75_.jpg|82010274]

It has the same light style as [b:Discount Armageddon|11402002|Discount Armageddon (InCryptid, #1)|Seanan McGuire|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1317332235l/11402002._SY75_.jpg|16334571] or [b:The Glass Gargoyle|25218665|The Glass Gargoyle (The Lost Ancients, #1)|Marie Andreas|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1432206325l/25218665._SY75_.jpg|44760339] ( )

Very short prequel to Dragons Don't Eat Meat that I read purely because of that cute squid on the cover. Turns out it is a pygmy Kraken!! Cuuuuuute. Main character is a Valkyrie who works in magical pest control. She lives with a banshee and has a budding romance with a gargoyle (he turns to stone during daylight which ngl sounds like a fantastic dating partner for introverts). ( )
