Synopsis :
Cassidy Kincaide owns Trifles & Folly, an antique/curio store and high-end pawn shop in Charleston, South Carolina that is more than what it seems. Dangerous magical and supernatural items sometimes find their way into mortal hands or onto the market, and Cassidy is part of a shadowy Alliance of mortals and mages whose job it is to take those deadly curiosities out of circulation.
Welcome to Trifles & Folly, an antique and curio shop with a dark secret. Proprietor Cassidy Kincaide continues a family tradition begun in 1670—acquiring and neutralizing dangerous supernatural items. It’s the perfect job for Cassidy, whose psychic gift lets her touch an object and know its history. Together with her business partner Sorren, a 500 year-old vampire and former jewel thief, Cassidy makes it her business to get infernal objects off the market. When mundane antiques suddenly become magically malicious, it’s time for Cassidy and Sorren to get rid of these Deadly Curiosities before the bodies start piling up.

Deadly Curiosities is the first installment from a series with the same name and also my first foray into Gail Z. Martin's works. I often find her book in the bookstore in Indonesia, Kinokuniya, and a part that catch my attention is the book cover. They are so lush and catchy for traditional fantasy books. And it's the same reason why I request Deadly Curiosities on NetGalley. Even this cover somehow scream "love triangle", and I'm not a fans of love triangle, I'm so curious to read this! :D
