About this ebook

Edinburgh, 1844. Beautiful Aileana Kameron only looks the part of an aristocratic young lady. In fact, she's spent the year since her mother died developing her ability to sense the presence of Sithichean, a faery race bent on slaughtering humans. She has a secret mission: to destroy the faery who murdered her mother. But when she learns she's a Falconer, the last in a line of female warriors and the sole hope of preventing a powerful faery population from massacring all of humanity, her quest for revenge gets a whole lot more complicated. The first volume of a trilogy from an exciting new voice in young adult fantasy, this electrifying thriller blends romance and action with steampunk technology and Scottish lore in a deliciously addictive read.

Shallow plot and character development. Horrible attempts at building suspense. And a ridiculous ending that tries to be a cliffhanger to get you to buy the next book, but I just didn't care enough about the story anymore and was just reading to finish it. The free sample chapters were probably the most promising, don't be fooled into buying this - it goes nowhere interesting.

A different, thrilling fantasy with some of my favorite types of characters to read about - the high fae or otherwise known as fairies. In love with this series so far.

I love the world and the characters. Of course, I'm a sucker for fae things but not enough to keep reading something that doesn't tell the story as wonderfully as this.
