Wren Valere used to be almost invisible. But now she's not only being seen, she's getting involved.

Recent attacks against nonhuman Fatae have escalated into hate crimes against magic users in general--humans included. With the Mage Council distracted by internal power struggles, Wren is guilted into stepping up as spokesperson for the fragilely united Fatae and lonejack communities....

And, because the cosmos deems her without enough complications, her partner-lover Sergei is drowning in his own problems. But not only can't she help him--she's the cause.

With lives on the line--including her own--Wren is going to have to break the lonejack credo, ditch her long-cherished invisibility and take a stand.

But burning bridges can be deadly....

Laura Anne Gilman is amazing at layering interactions, reasoning and action in her Retrievers series.

Burning Bridges took the next step and while there was a lot of action in the book, the step was a small one, peeling back only a small section of the history and back story of the Talents, Fatae, Council and the Silence.

I love where this storyline is going and can't wait to read the next book! ( )

Apparently I bought this one on sale, as I realized something was missing when I started listening to it. So I went back and bought the first book in the series before resuming this one. But I missed that there were two other books between the first one and this one. I guess that explains why I found some parts of this book confusing! I enjoyed it well enough to consider listening to the two books I missed, but I'd prefer to find those on sale. ( )

This contemporary mystery-fantasy is smart, funny, and suspenseful.

Oh for the simple life of a thief - sorry, Retriever! Wren's finding herself pushed more to the foreground than ever as the Cosa organizes itself to meet the menace that is the Silence.

The rocky road to love is treating Wren and Sergei to a few vicious bumps, as well. Hearts and flowers may await, but they're nowhere to be found when the book closes. Definitely not the right place to start this series, but it makes a gripping bridge, pun very much intended, to hopefully better days. ( )
