E-book copy received from author

Awesomesauce! I was recently told by an author that my review of her book was ‘awesomesauce’, and I’ve been waiting for the opportunity to use it, and here it’s presented itself! I loved this imaginative, well put together and entertaining book. What really, really pleases me is the fact this is the second South African author who has impressed me.

The last fantasy book I read was over a year ago, and strangely enough a word in each title is very similar. Me More...

I was really upset when I saw that I couldn't get the 3rd and 4th parts in this book individually, and thought that I might not get to see how it ends. So I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Ms. Morgan had re-released the series, and put all the parts in one book. This series has been a fantastic journey that puts a new twist on faeries. Ms. Morgan has created an interesting world full of wonder that is unique and fun to read. There is never a dull moment in this book, and I think it's bett More...

Celeste’s review: Wow, did this book go from pretty good to really awesome by the end! I haven’t read a book about the fae in a long time so I was way overdue. I loved the main character, Violet’s (or Vi’s) narrative. She was driven with her training and did everything by the books, until her emotions got in the way when she met the human boy Nate. She and Nate seem to hit it off romantic More...

I can't wait for the second book of this series

Seen through eyes of Violet, this book was extremely entertaining and I could barely put it down. I really enjoyed that there was also a wry sense of humor to Violet's thoughts. It was her observations and thoughts that kept me reading because I really connected with her. She's a very strong character with a sense of vulnerability that combine perfectly. Even though it's from Violet's point of view, you still get a good feel for the other characters More...

Wow! First of all, this is so not my genre. How ignorant of me, assuming all Faerie books would be sweet and girly. How stupid of me as a writer not to consider the possibilities... Rachel I adored this book, devoured it! A very talented author, who works magic with words and scenes. I loved it from page one, action... action.. action... romance... action...romance and some sad and broken scenes, conflict and magic. Everything to keep you on your toes all the way through. I didnt want it to end. More...

I loved this story and the characters in it! It turned out to be one of those books that gets better as it goes along and the storyline gets so interesting that you find yourself reading faster and faster. At least that’s what happened to me. I loved Violet’s spunk and the fact that she wasn’t perfect. She’s sarcastic and smart and brave and committed to doing the right thing, but all the while still somewhat vulnerable…all the characteristics that make for a really great heroine! Several other More...

ORIGINAL REVIEW AT: Little Book Star

Okay guys, seriously, that cover is super attractive. But what's even better is that the story is as good as the cover! No matter how hard it is, I will try to not fan girl in this review. This book is seriously 100% top notch, incredible, excellent, breathtaking, and whatever awesome-sauce adjectives you could think of! I'm not really a fan of fairies and such, in fact, the only fairy stuff that I know is Tinker Bell lol. So at first I had my doubts whether More...

This book was awesome! Let me sum up all the things that rocked about The Faerie Guardian. I'm going to use bullet points because if I don't, this review would be 10 pages long and no one would read it.

- Economical prose -- no wasted words, no slow scenes, just non-stop story that rocked.

- Novella -- I love novellas. Faerie Guardian is a collection of 4 novella from the Creepy Hollow Series.

- Kick-ass, loveable her More...

This was quite a cute (and lucky) find! As a lover of Kim Harrison's series The Hallows (where the main character's name is Rachel Morgan) I found this series by accident. I assumed it had something to do with The Hallows, but as it turns out, Rachel Morgan is a real-life-actual-person/author who wrote four short stories and put them together in The Faerie Guardian thus creating The Creepy Hallows series.

I can't wait to read the next book that comes out!

The only bad thing I can think to say ab More...

Another faerie book. Just what I need because I know I haven't read enough of good faerie books. :P

Firstly, can I just quickly comment on the blurb. "That is, until a cute human boy who can somehow see through her faerie glamour follows her into the fae realm.". A cute human boy? Well...on normal days, I would just forget about the book straight away if I came across the words 'a cute human boy'. I don't know...it sounds...shallow?

An More...

First, I want to say that I am in love with the beautiful book cover of The Faerie Guardian. It's simple, yet vibrant and magical, and after reading the story, I have to say that it's a perfect match! I enjoyed this fast-paced, action-packed fantasy from beginning to end! There were many elements that made this story succeed. I enjoyed the beautiful setting of Creepy Hollow, the strong world-building and character-building throughout the story, learning about the various types of paranormal crea More...

I was so captivated by the story that I could not stop reading until I had finished it. I just had to find out what was happening next.
Violet is not a typical fae in the usual faerie story. She is in training to become a guardian - a faerie who protects humans from being attacked by dark faerie and other nasty magic creatures. Unfortunately during one such assignment, the boy she was sent to protect was somehow able to see through her glamour and followed her when she tried to escape back into More...

I can add The Faerie Guardian to my list of favorite fey books. Rachel Morgan has done a fantastic job creating a new and modern world of fey. I loved how the characters had many of the same modern conveniences we do but magic being the force behind them. I always like to focus on the unique qualities of a story and one that makes this one so different is that the main character is the one that’s not human. Violet is a fairy training to be a guardian and that goal has been her one driving force More...

I am so glad that Rachel contacted me to read her book! I was orginally sold on the title, I mean... Faeries.. yes please, but then the series is called Creepy Hollow... um, even more YES! I even mentioned it to my husband, and he said the title was suiting to something I would read. (And isn't the cover pretty? not too much detail but bright and fun, right?) Anyway enough of my rambling... the book....



I started reading it at 2 am when I couldn't sleep and could not put it down! I was amazed at More...

(Disclaimer: I received a free copy of the book from the author in exchange for an honest review.)

Violet Fairdale is a faerie in training to be a guardian, in fact, she’s on her way to being the best guardian at the Guild, until an assignment goes bad. By the time Violet is done withe serpent woman, the cute boy she’d been admiring upon arrival has woken up and for some reason he can see through her magic. When Violet tries to get away, escaping back to Creepy Hollow within the Faerie Realm, the More...

Right now, I just feel like going fangirl over this book. What can I say? ohmyfreakinggoodnessIloveit!! Ahhhh! It is such an incredible book!!!!! Seriously, go buy this book right now, drop what you are doing, and read it!!!

Every page keeps you guessing. You feel for every character in there. The guy you thought was an enemy? Yeah no, I love him! The guy you originally fall for? Yeah no, he's a jerk! (Well at least this is what you are led to believe) :D Rachel Morgan is a fantastic author. Thi More...

Review was originally based on Guardian, Labyrinth, Traitor and Masquerade

before it was compiled and published into one novel. So here goes...

Three words: CAN’T. GET. ENOUGH! Seriously! Can’t even stop squealing and screaming and jumping with excitement!!! I’m just so so glad I came across these books. I love you already Rachel Morgan! I’m seriously adding this series to my five-star books. The Creepy Hollow Series—Guardian, Labyrinth, Traitor, and Masquerade—really really made my week. I just w More...

My FAVORITE indie YA read for 2012.

Did I find a super awesome YA read with amazing characters and believable romance? And romantic tension? Lots of romantic tension? Did I? Oh, yes... Yes, I did.

This is one of my new favorites going on my “epic” shelf! Sweet babies, I adored this thing. Violet, the protag, is a very strong and snarky faerie—truly funny, and not just occasionally so. She's a tough chick and even a bit of a tomboy to boot, which makes her physical prowess that much more believable More...

Faeries, you say? More faeries? I know, I know. The YA market has become quite saturated with Faeries and Fairies (and any other spelling you can think of ) - especially since the success of Julie Kagawa's Iron Fey series. So, what makes this series different and worth reading? A few things: an original take on human/faerie interaction, amazing world-building, entertaining dialogue and a kick-ass female main character to start.

In this faerie world, humans are strictly forbidden. They are never t More...

I really enjoy this and Violet is a likeable heroine. Kick ass and great at being a guardian without being too annoyingly perfect. She is smart and strong but also makes mistakes and has internal doubts which make her more real and likeable. Only complaint was that the ending seemed to abrupt and unfinished. I realise that there are more stories coming and I can't wait to read them but I felt like this story wasn't finished properly. It reads more like a serial waiting for the next part than a d More...

Excellent read for teens!! The author does a magnificent job of developing the characters and the plot has so many twists which keeps the reader wanting more!! The descriptions of the faerie realm are wonderful and magical! The author does an excellent job of "showing the reader" instead of telling!! I teach English in high school and I will be recommending this series to my students!

Part one the Creepy Hollow series, titled the Faerie Guardian, introduces Violet Fairdale. She is a fae training to be a guardian, when she is accidentally followed by a human as she travels back to her world named Creepy Hollow as the title of the series is named as well. This sets off a fantastic adventure which I deeply enjoyed and kept me reading to the end.

After reading Wings, I've had a fettish for Faerie books and right now, The Faerie Guardian is satisfying me with a smashing storyline and great cover. Can I say this now but I LOVE IT!

Cover Lust! ♥ Wow, if this book is even half as good as the cover I'll be thrilled :)

Wow enjoyed this WAY more than I thought I would!! :D LOVE when I find a new amazing fae novel! CANNOT wait for the next book, full review coming soon !(:

Oh my goodness! This book was amazing! The plot line was fantastic! It wasn't your typical love story. I think that's why I liked it so much. Vi is a character that you can relate to easily. Everyone tries there hardest to do everything perfect and get things done right to some extent. When she fails, like us, it's horrible and you feel like your life is over and your existence is useless. I love, love, LOVE this book! I cannot wait to read the full series! I highly recommend this!
