Miranda is looking for this book! Oh wow, I’d almost say this is the start of the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton, except for the fact that I don’t remember a troll being a part of the series. Maybe later, mind you… I read a ton of them, in my early paranormal addiction days. 🙂
Oh wait… is it her Merry Gentry series? I haven’t read it yet, but I could swear there’s a troll as one of the Heroes… and that’s probably what kept me from reading it. LOL!! (I was all… hrmmm… a troll?… I’ll read her other one instead.) Mind you, this was yeeeeeears ago, so maybe it wasn’t a troll, but there was something about a troll… I could swear.
