Ashlyn McVean doesn't believe in fairy tales. That is, until Ashlyn is thrown into the crosshairs of grudges her grandmother created long ago. After finding out she is one of two people able to cross between faerie realms, Ashlyn is faced with trying to understand her abilities, along with navigating a new relationship with her boyfriend, Liam. As if being on a centuries old hit list and dealing with crazed pixies isn't enough, her new abilities mean trouble for Liam. Knowing her new life puts everyone she loves in danger, Ashlyn must decide what's most important in her life between friends, family, love, and ultimately, realms.

              **************************************************
Ashlyn is excited to visit her grandmother's home country of Ireland. Things get even more exciting when she meets a super cute guy. When her best friend and travel companion seems to turn on her though, Ashlyn realizes that something is very strange. She learns that all the Irish fairy tales she grew up hearing are actually real, and she is a vital part of them. Ashlyn now has to deal with secrets, supernatural surprises, and danger around every corner. Can she manage to stay alive and keep a boyfriend?

This book was very charming. Things took some very interesting twists that I was not expecting. I loved the use of Irish folk lore and fairy tales. This was a fun and original aspect of the book. Liam was definitely swoon-worthy, and I felt really bad for him at times. He had a lot of interesting conflict going on. The only problem I had was that one particular plot point felt a little rushed (I won't say what to avoid spoilers), but it wasn't a big deal. It certainly didn't take away from my enjoyment.

This book will leave you wanting more. There are a lot of unanswered questions and problems in the end, and this proves to be a perfect set-up for a sequel. I was sad to see the book end. It has fun romance (with bits of romantic conflict) and some very awesome action scenes. I loved that the girls were getting to be a major part of the action. Memaw was perhaps my favorite character. She was tough and had a history I was wanting to know more about. Overall, this is a great book that will leave you ready to read more.
