Description: Grimsby, a junior Auditor in the magical Department of Unorthodox Affairs, finds himself on the other side of the law in this spellbinding urban fantasy.

Grimshaw Griswald Grimsby may have one case under his belt, but he’s still a novice Auditor in Boston’s Department of Unorthodox Affairs. And he’s already made mistakes.

Desperate to repair his fraying friendships, he doesn’t ask too many questions when a mysterious patron offers him the chance to join a heist of an otherworldly vault—and in the process find answers that could make things right.

Complications arise when Grimsby learns that his partner, Mayflower, is keeping secrets about his past. Between facing new demons, old horrors, and monsters—both Usual and Unorthodox—Grimsby soon realizes nothing is how it appears and that not asking enough questions just might be his downfall.

Starting. I had completely forgotten about this series. Thanks for the reminder!!

I love Whudge! Grimsby is so sweet and innocent that he is easy to take advantage of. I feel bad for Rain but not sure if I trust her. Who is Rain's Uncle? What is Grimsby getting himself into trying to help Rain?

I'm not sure I trust Rain's uncle. I love Whudge, too.

There are so many similarities between this series and Dresden Files. Since I'm reading that series now, too, I'm noticing them more.

I agree. Poor Grimsby! He tries so hard to help but things just go wrong.

I love Mayflower. He and Grimsby make a great team.

Yes, I'm so glad that we finally get Mayflower's backstory. They help one another. Finished. I enjoyed it.

I like this series. Once the whole series is written, I would re-read it.

I agree. I like it. It definitely reminds me of Dreden Files.
