Magic still lingers in the mist-covered corners of the world, wherever the Old Ways are remembered. However, as civilization and reason scoff at the Fair Folk, the paths to power have been forgotten by all but a few.
Lily Boyd was meant to become a faerie doctor, a warden of humans and a keeper of balance, until disbelief and pragmatism led her away from the hidden world and into a mundane life. But truth has a way to be Heard and she will be forced to face it if she wants to save her family.
Armed with nothing but her childhood memories and protected by a debt of gratitude she doesn’t understand, Lily must decide who to trust while she navigates a world that is darker and more twisted than she is prepared for.
And should she make the wrong choice, should she mistake friend and foe… the eternal balance between the Faerie Courts may shatter, and then there will be more than Lily’s life on the line.
I am always looking out for new a different kind of paranormal books because this genre can tend to be a lot of the same thing but when you find a book that is different, it can really take you away and into another world. And that is what this book has done.
Granted it also takes place in Scotland, but that is not why you are taken away. At least not at first. We start out with a simple story of a girl visiting her grandmother, when it quickly turns out that grandma is not all that she seems to be. Lily Boyd's mother has painted her grandmother in not such a good light, but Lily doesn't let that steer her away from visiting the grandma she loves so much. Once she arrives, weird things start to happen and her grandmother starts acting strange, but nothing can prepare Lily for the journey she is about to embark on.
Once we meet 'Troy' the story really gets interesting and you are left wondering throughout the book, who he is, and is he friend or foe? This book takes you on a wild ride through the Faerie world and really shows you the determination and love a granddaughter can have for her grandmother.
I have to say that I really enjoyed the ending of this book. Endings are never fun, obviously, and this is a series, but they way t was left off was just brilliant and found myself taking a big gasp of air as well. It was written just perfectly and the image left in your mind makes you super excited for book 2. Cannot wait, LOVED The Wild Hunt!!!
