Books like Unshapely Things by Mark Del Franco
In the alleys of Boston’s neglected "Weird" district, fairy prostitutes are found dead, their bodies bearing evidence of lingering magic. The fey Guild, preoccupied with higher‑profile cases, delegates the investigation to local police, and they enlist Connor Grey, a druid and ex‑Guild investigator whose powers were diminished after a confrontation with a radical elf environmentalist. As Connor struggles with bureaucratic hurdles and personal limitations, he discovers that the killings are not random but part of an age‑old magical rite. He races to decipher the killer’s methodology before the spell culminates, potentially unleashing a global cataclysm.
