- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In book two, Seren has a few new folks to call friends...until she doesn’t. It seems the house, let alone the household, has come under the influence of some mighty strange goings on...and if things aren’t sorted soon, not only will she be out of a home, but those that have become dear to her may be lost forever. Much magic abounds, but the true messages at heart are of the strength of the family ties we choose, as well as the love for others over simply ourselves.
***ARC received for review; opinions are my own - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I received this as an early review. It was better than the first as the characters and setting were already established. Seren, the main character is a strong, likable character. A fun read.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Well...even more unlikely, but again nicely done. The solution is presented with the problem, in the first chapter. Nice to see the Crow again - but did he just abandon his brother? Or will the brother be showing up again later? Some elegant traps, neatly disarmed. Hopefully Tomos has learned his lesson, and will remember it! And if the Crow can actually get the job...That would be pretty close to a happy ever after for him, I think. Not in full, but close. Not sure the adults will be able to handle it...but they know the threat (and were surprisingly weak before it - how did she manage to fool them to start with?). Don't know. Honestly, if I were them I'd move away entirely - the Family are rather too aware of them, now. Don't know if there'll be another story, but if so I hope it's not just another variation on the theme. I'd read it, though.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This series gets better and better with each book! Seren is a great main character, and the Crow is a scene stealer. I wish that Tomos and the rest of the household wasn't so clueless about magic and the Fair Folk. But if they knew what was happening, there wouldn't be a story.
