from 890 reviewsI really enjoyed this intro to the Skye O'Shea Series. I found Skye interesting and relatable having started over myself after divorce without an inheritance to whisk me away. I'm excitedto see what hernew beginning brings.

Delightful story!

I really enjoyed this first in the Skye O’Shea series. I liked that the storyline was different and lots of Irish lore. I look forward to the next book in the series.

I ventured Into a new realm of Irish historical fiction, and was not disappointed. Book 1 in a series of 5 will keep me cozy for a few days. Looking forward to seeing what else the author has in store for me.

What an engaging and entertaining book! Plenty of twists and turns and wonderfully crafted red herrings! You never know whether your instinct as to who the killer could be is right or not, and juuuust when you think you’ve got it, there ar little seeds of doubt. LOVE IT. Great characters, thrilling and exciting series of events. Highly recommend if you like murder mysteries, Ireland, and more than a wee bit it the woogety woo!

This one really gets into the rituals of the fae, history of her Gran's life and who she was. People arrive that cause a whole of trouble and a death.

A fun read. I like the Ireland location and the references to old Irish folk lore. Characters interesting, more fleshed out than in many books. I'm moving on to the next one.

Not what I expected. The book is fresh with mystery and Irish folk lore. One I started reading it. I didn't want to stop until the end.

I received this book by the author with no compensation or conditions to write a review. I found this storyline to be quite interesting & plan to read more books in this series. I enjoy the paranormal genre & this prequel checked the boxes for me. If you enjoy this genre, I suggest you give it a try.

Read the prequel a few days ago and was hooked. Troubles between exes lead Skye into a world in Ireland she doesn't yet understand. Leaving problems behind in the states, she sets off for Ireland and an unexpected inheritance from her grandmother.Problems arise as son as Skye sets foot in Irish soil. Mysterious death, suspicions about Skye's family and unexpected behavior from the people.Add to that mystical happenings, noises in the night, A talking cat, and many other beings from Irish folklore make for an entertaining read. Ready for the next.

Excellent book. The characters where outstanding! Keep you guessing to the end.can't wait to continue the story! Gram is my favorite character.

I am enjoying the Irish story setting. Hope the series continues past book three.

This is a nice read! Interesting and imagination capturing. Great to read a fantasy that's not full of angst but mature life issues.

Really good read. Not too predictable, has enough twists to maintain interest. The kind of.escape.you want tomread.straight thru, cover to cover

This story is a mild and uncomplicated story for children. I enjoyed the interaction between Fingin and the goddess Brigit. I enjoyed the first interactions between common people and Christians. The story has little violence and much to remind the Irish of their past.
The inclusion of Irish myths into this story added a needed depth to this story. But Fingin, the main character, seemed rather blah and too forlorn. I liked his two animal friends much better. He had adventures on his quest but overall the mood came across as melancholy and uninspiring.
Even as a young man I enjoyed this kind of story. The author struck a fun storyline and adventure with the protagonist. More of a YA approach, however, a quick read. Thanks!
Fingin is such a lonely soul. Abused by family, his voice lost, and living alone – he exists in a self-imposed solitary confinement. His magic allows him to have a voice with animals, which leads him to his first friends. They go along with him to fulfill a goddess’s quest.While Fingin is a simple young man, his story is rich and emotional. The book allows you to feel his loneliness, his pain. There is so much to relate to in his story for each of us: loss of family, physical ailments, loneliness, and not really knowing one’s place.
Fingan is alone in the world. No family, no friends, no home. His nomad existence is fueled by necessity. Ever since his grandmother gave him the “faerie gift” and took away his ability to speak normally he has been persecuted. If not for his ability to speak with animals, he would have no one to talk to even though most animals are poor conversationalists. The day he saves an enormous wolfhound from drowning in the river is a day to celebrate Bran is both a friend and a protector. Forced to flee again, Fingan and Bran encounter a strange woman in the woods who sends them on a quest to find Fingan’s grandmother and his legacy. She gifts them a donkey to carry their supplies, which Fingan promptly names Sean and the threesome set off on an adventure filled with danger, adversity, and magic.This is an excellent series; fanciful, but with action and good characters. The plot is well developed and Christy Nicholas makes the world that Fingan lives seem real. I really enjoyed the book and cannot wait to read the next book in the series.
