Magic for Nothing by Seanan McGuire
Yikes, someone sneaked a generic young adult story, complete with sarcastic-whiny teen brat heroine, into this series.

Here’s a shocker: the story becomes pretty good when the heroine doesn’t have to make big decisions anymore.
They claim that this is a terrifying story that relooks at how we perceive violence. The operative word here is “claim”.
This one leaves me with heavy, hooded eyes as I try to stay awake.
This is a story powered by the heroine’s impressive victim complex and her inability to stop bumbling and bungling things up.
Bad men want to drain every drop of our hero, and his only hope is to merge with his sidekick. No, this is not gay porn. What gives you the idea?
A bad man forces two jerks to stay in a house… and stay there… and stay… stay… stay… Oh god, what’s on the other channel?
Trigger warning: big misunderstanding, secret brats, and how these things drive the hero and heroine into predictable, boring acts of joylessness.
Oh look, another boring, wooden oh-so-typical Kimani romance to bring on the buyer’s remorse.
The awkward-looking Asa Butterfield is the only thing that saves it from the one-oogie mire.
