Official blurb:
Modern girl versus magical world
Maya is a lot of things: an eighteen-year-old taking care of her mom, a server working double shifts to pay their bills, and hell-bent on keeping her family together. Becoming a changeling—a human stolen from her home by the old Irish fae—doesn’t fit. She needs to get back. But how can she escape another world?
Daire, her kidnapper’s little brother, comes to Maya with an answer. This sheltered prince has the power to take people between Maya’s realm and his. He promises to take her home if she helps cure a curse that will kill him in a few months.
It would be easy if it weren’t for the ancient kings who want Daire dead and Maya trapped to keep their endangered race hidden. Will Maya’s interference topple centuries of protected isolation? For her freedom, she’s willing to find out.
My rating: five stars out of five
This book was so intricate and captivating, I had to keep turning the page! The world and lore behind the fae is so unique, yet incorporates some traditional Irish names, and it’s such an interesting blend.
I love a good sibling rivalry, and Riona and Daire didn’t disappoint. The fact that Maya, the human protagonist, is caught between them makes it even better.
I’m all for this magic system and the twists and turns of the fae family’s history, though prepare to pay attention to details to really understand the different relationships between the characters.
Overall, fantastic read, and the ending makes me want to go get the next book right now.
