This book was a bit weird in the beginning, but still a good one. It was interesting to see a human (half-human?) who lived as a fay trying to be human. Soft sweet romance too. ( )

If not the worst book I've ever read, it comes very close. ( )

Gossamyr has been brought up by her Faery father, half-mortal and half-faery she's caught between the worlds and when The Red Lady is draining all Faery who wander into the mortal world someone has to try to stop her. Gossamyr is chosen.

She finds Ulrich who comes with her to help her, he strayed into a faery circle 10 years ago but to him it's only been a few hours. He's searching for his daughter (Rhiana - oh look sequel!) and is trying to come to terms with the world being different than he left it.

The very worst thing I can say about this book is that I didn't care. I had absolutely no emotional involvement in the book and really didn't care what happened to anyone. It possibly could have done with some editing and some more work.

It's not totally a bad book, it's just not a good book and I nearly abandoned it a few times because I didn't really care what happened next. I'm sure the author is capable of more and better. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 037380220X, Paperback)

Disenchantment threatens those who enter the mortal realm . . .

The Red Lady plots to destroy faeries who linger in the mortal world, by draining their essence. Only those without glamour can withstand the succubus's wicked enticements. so now Gossamyr de Wintershinn, half faery, half mortal, vows to use her wits, fighting ability and a hint of glamour to face the Red Lady in her Paris lair.

But this is Gossamyr's first trip to the war-ravaged mortal realm, and it seduces with its own enchantments. With her new traveling companion -- a soul shepherd with more than one secret -- Gossamyr takes the first steps to save her people. Yet as she strives to defeat the Red Lady, she discovers that incredible power can be found in the truth -- and in learning true names. And a danger, as well . . .
