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 loved the inclusion of SCA (well represented) and a gay man as her bestbfriend. I was moved by the heroine's struggles in the present world (survives hurricane and useless husband). She slowly manages to reclaim her power and sense of self while exploring the world of Iceland in the 12th century in her dreams. Very detailed descriptions of life in that time - it felt real to me.
Val dreams of an Iceland of far into the past and writes a book. Author Emeline Rhys later has Val in Iceland for real.
A page-turner that I wanted to find out what happened next. In 1996 she lived a normal life but dreamed of a life a thousand years ago which seemed more real each time. So she began to write it down as a novel, but you'll be really surprised by the ending.
Wasn’t sure I was going to like this book but found that I couldn’t put it down. It’s one of those stories that I would steal away to read a chapter on break rather than talk with friends. The author really does a wonderful job of researching and bring modern day life together with history.
A challenging undertaking of a novel, balancing not one plot line, but two. Christy Nicholas manages to not only keep the reader engaged with both plots but is able to weave them together seamlessly. Many authors struggle with proper pacing and applying the right amount of weight when dealing with dual plot lines but Ms Nicholas is able to do so. The characters are endearing and at times infuriating (as in villainous!). In all, Past Storm and Fire is a well researched and well paced novel that will make those of us who feel they may have an inexplicable connection to faraway places...
