Grave-Reaping Hermit
Everlyn C. Thompson
Urban Fantasy
When self-professed hermit Theodora Edwards is attacked by a dark fae and infected with his magic, she finds herself thrust into the supernatural spotlight as the first possible changeling in centuries. As if surviving the transition isn’t hard enough, Theo has to deal with an attempted abduction by her newly turned vampire ex-husband, unwanted courting offers from salacious fae suitors, and her growing attraction to the guardian of the gate to Fairie.
Caught in a cruel tug of war between the queen of the fae and a surly law-enforcement agent, Theo must find a way to free herself before she loses her hard-earned independence for good.
Uncaged Review: This story started a tad slow for me, and it was confusing at first. Theo is self made hermit writer, and after her husband goes missing, she finally gives up the search and moves to a cabin a very rural area. She gets tossed into the supernatural world after she’s attacked by a creature she can’t explain. The story really picks up after the attack, and she will find out that Fae, vampires and shifters are very real. Because she could be infected by the creature that attacks her, a guardian fae has the duty to watch over her.
There are a few good twists to this, and even though there are still a lot of questions, this is only the first book in the series. I liked Theo’s spunk and humor, and even though I like her guardian, Farranen, I was more intrigued by Lief. A good start to a new series.
