It has been about 7 months since I read this book so it’s taking me a little bit to remember what all I loved about it. And I did love it.
I’ve read quite a few faerie books lately, enjoyed most of them, but this one stood out. It’s a unique twist on the faerie world. Even though, yes, there are a few theme’s that pop up in several other books, faerie royalty, changlings, character that had no clue they were faerie, you get the idea, it still stood out.
Lesley has created this world where within ours “theirs” exists. And it makes me want to believe.
The main characters were awesome, I really liked Kelley because she seemed to have real emotions. It wasn’t easy for her to except the strange like a lot of books today. She balked at the mention of faerie’s or at least laughed. And she has doubts and questions things. Yet, she’s strong, or tries to be.
Sonny, of course is, slightly irresistable as a love interest. I love that The Story Siren, asks her mom for one in her review, found here. That cracked me up when I read it. And stayed with me long enough, apparently, to remember it for my review.
I thought the secondary characters were amazing as well. Which is sometimes very rare. And it wasn’t just a third character, it was like 5 or 6. They stood out among the crowd. They had their own very distinct voices and that was wondrous.
The plot laid out twists and turns and although I saw some coming others stayed hidden quite well until they were revealed.
Great story, go buy it.
Oh, you know what’s coming...
Sonny turned to her, his gray eyes dark. He pointed very deliberately to the west. “The sun is going down.”
Kelley crossed her arms. “It does that, I’ve noticed.”
She was thrilled and simultaneously horrified. She hadn’t been expecting visitors and was wearing yoga pants and a gaded hoodie. She was also covered in reddish strands of horsehair and Lucky Charms sugar dust. Yelping, she jumped behind the door.
“Sonny! What are you doing here?”
“I came to see you.”
“You can’t.”
“You’ve learned the art of invisibility?”
“What? No!” She blinked, and stayed behind the door. “Wait. Can I do that?”
