![]() ![]() What I really loved is the feeling of hope that pervades the book even during its darkest moments. There are many wonderfully vivid images and set pieces within the fae world that make this a very memorable take on well-trod ground. ![]() The fae as portrayed in this version are with few exceptions cruel and sadistic with some truly vile villains so be prepared for horror and tragedy when the Mcgrath family teams up with fae allies to attempt Veil's rescue. When Veil is forced to make the difficult choice to return to fulfill her part in the evil bargain, the story takes a darker turn. This middle section of the book fits very much into the cozy fantasy genre as Veil learns the ways of humans and the humans come to value and love Veil. This one got off to a bit of a confusing start for me as a prologue and the early chapters set up some mysteries that are only explained later in the book but once Veil goes on the run, I became completely immersed in her plight and the absolutely enchanting McGrath family that takes her in. ![]() Forced to flee when a bargain made long ago threatens her freedom and happiness, she finds herself in the human world, floundering to fit in with a kind-hearted clan including son Kellan, her reluctant savior. As a half-human, half-sidhe hybrid, Veil has lived as a semi-outcast among her own people with only the protection of her powerful father to shield her from greater harm. Very enjoyable fantasy with elements of horror and romance that explores Irish and fae folklore. ![]()
