Life in the magical mess of the Detroit Free Zone is never easy. When you're laboring under the curse of a certain prideful, overbearing dragon, it can be down right impossible. My name is Opal Yong-ae, and I'm a Cleaner. At least, I used to be. Thanks to the supernatural bad luck that turns everything I do against me, these days I'm more of a walking disaster. Getting rid of this curse is the only way to get my life back. Unfortunately, dragon magic is every bit as sneaky and deadly as the monsters behind it, and just as hard to beat. But I've never been one to take her doom at face value. Cornered doesn't mean defeated, and in an awakened city that rules herself, dragons are no longer the biggest powers around.

Another good read. love the character growth in this one and Opal's desire for freedom
Quit this one. When? Interesting question, as I stopped reading at about 25% of the book, but the last 25% isn't even the story, but previews of other novels of the author. You buy this and only get 75% of an actual new story and the rest is something else, which I find not good. I feel it's a bit of a cheat, really, like when your bag of crisps is not even full.
I stopped reading because I keep disliking Opal more and more, the drama with Nik is really juvenile even though I am fine with him, the whole jealousy issue is lame. The story doesn't seem to develop, we are back at square one with Opal's dad and all. She also acts like she is not responsible for anything in her life ever and lacks agency, which is funny, as she constantly goes on an on an freaking on about how she wants to be her own person, but she acts stupid at the end and never gets ahead.
This is part 2 of the trilogy. See my review of part 1, [b:Minimum Wage Magic 42385018 Minimum Wage Magic (DFZ, #1) Rachel Aaron https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1601280302l/42385018.SY75.jpg 66054725].
