The Selkie Enchantress (Seal Island Trilogy) (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
The Selkie Enchantress is the second book of The Seal Island Trilogy and features Caitlin and Liam. Caitlin is Dominic’s (of Book One) best friend and Liam is his brother who works as a professor on the mainland. Unknown to others, Cait and Liam had a romantic past but because Caitlin was too young, she made bad decisions which resulted to heartbreaks. They’ve been friends after that but on the day of Tara and Dominic’s wedding, they became lovers again. After months of constant communication, Liam has decided to stay on the island for good. On his way back to Seal Island for their dinner date, he met Nuala, a mysterious woman who enchanted him. She made him forget about Caitlyn and his newly discovered legend that was hidden for so long. In this second book, it’s now time for Caitlin and Liam to fight for their love and to meet someone connected to their secret past.Damn! Sophie Moss just raised the trilogy to a higher level! The Selkie Enchantress is stunning, captivating, so beautiful and heart-tugging! It’s a modern day fusion of fairy tales and true romance that took my breath away. The story was excellently written and enchanting. I liked the first book but I LOVED this book. This is definitely a lot better than The Selkie Spell. I really love how the author mixes everything here. Irish myth, contemporary, mystery, fantasy, a fusion of the Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast all rolled into one. I loved the twists and magic in the book. Moss has a knack of weaving fascinating mysteries and tales that leaves you wanting to know everything.Liam is hot! He’s way hotter than Dominic (my opinion!) and I just love his character. He’s strong, caring, kind, intelligent, and he absolutely loves Caitlin even when he doesn’t remember what they are to each other. Who doesn’t want a sexy, handsome professor? Definitely not me! Caitlin, on the other hand, hides so many heartaches, that she became so good in showing people how strong she is emotionally. She has a very big heart and has so much room for love and caring that she even takes care of Owen even though she knows that he was Nuala’s son. I loved her for that and I loved the twist Moss made on her character and Owen’s. The other characters in the Book One still play important roles in this book. Just like in the first book, I’m once again drawn to Glenna. I just love her character. She’s so strong and mysterious. She doesn’t want to reveal her true self but she loves the people on the island and is willing to help them no matter what. Sam is definitely my favorite guy in this trilogy! Even though he’s the reason why Tara has been found by her husband, he quickly realized his mistakes and decided to switch sides right on time. He’s a good guy and wants redemption for everything he had done. He’d do anything for Tara and the rest of the family to atone for his sins. Another character that made an impact on me is Nuala. I just can’t seem to hate her in this book, even with all the pain she’s caused Caitlin. For me she was just another victim of circumstance taken advantage by another. Even with all the things she’d done, there’s still goodness inside her. I’m giving The Selkie Enchantress 5 STARS. I realized I can’t give it anything less. It was stunning, enchanting, beautifully written, has exciting twists and plot, and characters to love. I love how Moss maintained the fairy tale quality in this dark tale. That no matter what happens, true love is still the strongest thing there is; and that it can overcome everything. I recommend this to all paranormal romance fans. I wish everyone of the right age can read this. You’ll be amazed how wonderful and heartfelt this book is. Fantasy? Maybe not. Travel with modern dwellers of an obscure island on the coast of Ireland through a labyrinth of myth and fable. Or is this reality? Are those stories as real as they seem?Selkies and mermaids are part of Sophie Moss's stories and you expect to meet either one on the street. Tender romance and friendship flow through the pleasure read. Ms. Moss offers plot twists and description in detail that will give readers a picture of the myth/reality which maintains a few ribbons of unanswered questions — connections with the story just past and with the next future story. If you're not a reader with a vital imagination, you may not enjoy this series. But, if you do have that vital imagination, there is color and detail for several pleasant hours of reading that doesn't insult your intelligence. Just relax and go with it. Reading for fun and pleasure is good for your physical and mental health.
