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

I love books on writing, but these can be difficult. There's always a balance between too much and too little information, and while we all know the outcome (get it written – well!), there is conflicting advice from many.Extreme Planning for Authors finds a great balance. I have enjoyed the author’s other work (fiction and nonfiction) for a number of years. There's just no nonsense here, just advice to get it written. Her approach, especially to creative world building and depth of research, is not only consistent with the high quality she writes, but also clear and simple for readers to understand.While this book is short, I definitely see this as one of the manuals I use for my own writing.
So, I was a little bit unsure of reading this. I have always been a panster when it comes to writing. But there are a lot of really good tips and tricks that even as a panster, I can put into use in my writing journey.
The book is full of information to assist any writer, at any stage. From those that have notebooks of ideas for novels and floundering about to those already published and want to make the process easier, look no further. It is well-organized and entertaining. This author takes the daunting task of writing, publishing, and promoting a book and breaks it down to manageable, bite-sized action items. I highly recommend this book.
Christy is very prolific in her output of novels, while also working full time, and managing a side-hustle. She is very organized and if she suggests a way to be more efficient in your novel writing, she's probably correct.
What a smart and approachable book! You'll find plenty of advice, step-by-step instruction on planning and writing, and just enough encouragement to get you from start to finish on writing a novel.
