Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries

This one was fun. Academic goes to Norway to do that last bit of fieldwork for her book. She's a little too obsessed with work and his horrible at reading people. Cough So things go sideways with the local townsfolk until her dazzlingly charming coworker shows up to help out. I thought the characters were fun and I liked the story. Have book 2 queued up and ready to go.

Was hoping “The Hidden Ones” would turn out to be trolls. The book would have taken a turn into horror if that had been the case.
