Description (taken from Goodreads):

Callie LeRoux has put her grimy, harrowing trip from the depths of the Dust Bowl behind her. Her life is a different kind of exciting now: she works at a major motion picture studio among powerful studio executives and stylish stars. Still nothing can distract her from her true goal. With help from her friend Jack and guidance from the great singer Paul Robeson, she will find her missing mother.

But as a child of prophecy and daughter of the legitimate heir to the Seelie throne, Callie poses a huge threat to the warring fae factions who’ve attached themselves to the most powerful people in Hollywood . . . and they are all too aware that she’s within their reach.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series.  And I'm so surprised to not see this second one around as much as I think it should be.

On another note, I realize the majority of books I've been waiting-on/reading this year have been part of a series.  Do you guys have suggestions on new 'first' books coming out that I should check out?
