Leonie is born part fae but has grown not knowing her parents or the full power she is capable of. She hid secretly the magic she used or she would be called a witch and burned. Sparks between her and Philippe le Peregrine are strong but they both have reasons to deny each other. Especially Philippe reasons which has to do with his first wife’s death. Faerie has a nice mixture of fantasy and romance. Since I am not a fan of romance I have to say I would love to read a sequel to this book. Sometimes books with romance can be sickly hokie. The magic was in the romance and faerie powers. The love scenes were not forced but felt just right and the heat between Leonie and Philippe very believable. There was some info or lack of about the bad guys and or evil that was after Leonie and Phillippe. It made me feel that maybe this might get made into a series that would explain more of Leonie’s parents history. I have to say I am surprised at how much I loved this. I am starting to find that with many indie books. I was caught by the beauty of the cover and I see the author has many books that look just as interesting. When i read about "Faerie", i thought the main female character would be naive and then with the events during the story, she would become more stronger. I was wrong! She isn't naive at all! She knows about her fae blood, she use her "skills" in a way that wouldn't attract attention of the wrong people and she is also a brave girl! I think it's a very interesting story. I always like to read about Celtics, their belief on the fae people and also the way the old beliefs were seen as a evil thing, when Catholicism started to spread on Europe.I liked the way it started, a mysterious crone making a deal wih the king and then we learn about the feelings of Leonie to the handsome and favorite knight's king, Peregrine, that swore to celibacy after his wife died in a tragic way and also happen to turn him into a cursed man. But there're so many twists with dark mysteries on the story, that it wont make so easy to see them finaaally together! The twists made me really curious to read more and more, till i could read the mysteries being solved! It's a delightful and quick reading with a hot romance, magic and mysteries! I enjoyed it!
What do You think about Faerie (2012)?
I enjoyed the mix of history (the 9th century) and fantasy.
