Bonnie “Bon” Baily works in a corporation’s accounts receivable department. Her co-workers have no idea about Bon’s unusual upbringing. A late night at the office turns into an attack by assassins. Bonnie manages to take one down with ease, which gets her invited to join a secret organization called the Fianna. Her new partner is not exactly thrilled to be paired with her. Now Bonnie must balance her job at Fintech with her internship to the Fianna.

Bonnie may look like a ditsy, airheaded damsel. However, looks are deceiving. She has been trained, by her father, in how to survive and protect herself. Skills that are not necessary or needed in her corporate job. It is something that Bonnie does not broadcast to others around her.

The art style reminds me of comic books than manga. How the panels are drawn, the direction they are read, and the flow of the story. It took me a while to realize not to read this like I would a manga. I am not too familiar with web comics and only read a few comics like Critical Role and comic versions of my favorite romance book series (example Kinley MacGregor/Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Avalon series).

There are two aspects that drew my particular interest in this webcomic: that the story takes place in Ireland (sucker for anything Irish) and there is a secret organization called Fianna. I have always been fascinated by Celtic lore, so I am somewhat familiar with the Fianna.

I only have one nitpick, and it has nothing to do with the content. Mostly, it deals with the format Netgalley gave me to read. I like reading on my Kindle Fire, not my computer. However, I was not given that option. Why it took me longer to read this volume.
