What if you were to wake up one morning and learn that nothing in the world you’ve known for most of your life was real? Your father was not your father, your husband was not your husband, your life was not the neat package you had grown to accept. And the world that replaced your perceived reality was determined to take everything you knew and loved away from you, violently and permanently, while a haunting voice taunted you into near insanity.

You know those female lead characters that are all wispy and weepy and "woe is me"? Well, if that is what you like, GO AWAY! Muahahahah

I settled down to read this thinking it would be a really good fast paced read. I couldn't make head nor tails of it really!
There were so many plot holes and confusing moments that I am surprised I even finished it.
Let's start with what annoyed me about it.
Alex "the Fey" - This book could be read as a representation of the strong female. Alex is the only female allowed in the green berets. So far, so good. But then, it just gets annoying. Alex is the heroi More...

This book was fairly good, but it took me a bit to get into the story. At first, it just seemed like a lot of characters and details thrown at you all at once. It probably took me until the -teen chapters to really get into the book. I definitely think that it's worth the read, if you can get past the slow start. I think that the character of Alex was fairly well-developed. The love between her and John was very palpable. I was also partial to the fact that Alex is a twin. That could just be be

"Action Adventure." Alex "the Fey" Hargreaves commands a Special Forces team, until most of them are killed. It's okay, though, because the remaining members all have nicknames, so it's like there are twice as many of them as there actually are! And it's not confusing at all! To be introduced to so many people at the same time! Who are mostly identified by the color of their skin!

Great book! Like a cross between G.I. Jane and a paranormal romance. The heroine is written really strong and I loved that- no weak chicks here. This book is for grown-ups. It has some strong language and is sprinkled with a sexual relationship between husband and wife. The charter development between the Fey and the men in her life was something I could relate to. If you have strong male relationships in you life you will relate to this book. It was also a kick butt read...so if you are looking

I absolutely LOVED this series (the other two books are _Learning to Stand_ and _Who I Am_). I enjoy military/political conspiracy thrillers, and this one doesn't disappoint in that area. But the thing that clinched it for me was that the protagonist is A WOMAN!!! A strong heroine who works with men in a typically male-dominated field, but is her own actor and drives the story rather than having the story (and action) occur around her make this series stand out among others in the genre.

This was a good book...far fetched, but good. I guess I was expecting something a little different. It was a good story line though and kept me interested. I was bothered frequently by little "off topic episodes" if that makes sense. It was difficult to understand what she was trying to get across sometimes, like it was in code or something. There were quite a few misspelled words and grammatical errors, along with the frequent use of "gd," which I am not a fan of, but I woul

I am near the end of this free book and it is totally not what I normally read but I am really enjoying it, the book is about a major C.I.A special elite forces team run by a real kick butt woman, it is really good and shows the different relationship she has with each of her team. A madman is out to kill her and her team and the book shows the fight she has to keep her and her team alive. Really like it, don't want to put the book down its worth a read.

Pretty interesting book, but the writing wasn't very smooth. I was completely lost at first and had to reread paragraphs to figure out what was going on. I also felt like there was information missing, and that is why it was so confusing. But the story was good, and I enjoyed learning about the characters and their deep frienships.

Worst book I have ever read. The story was so confusing and the writing was atrocious. I couldn't even finish the book and it was promptly deleted from my kindle. I am so glad I didn't have to pay for this. I would have written the author and demanded my money back.

I would have given this four stars if she had researched the military a little more and put the time in, to make the book more believable. The fact that everyone kept calling her sir really bugged me. Also the books has many editing mistakes. Not bad though, for a new author. It is definitely a page turner.

This novel had a slow/complicated start, throwing many characters with different nicknames at you in the first few chapters. If you can make it past that, the strong female lead found in Alex "the Fey" will grab your attention until the last page.

Interesting book about a female green beret/CIA intelligence officer. A huge focus on psychological warfare and the love of family that she leans on to rediscover herself after a mission goes awry.

Book is about a special forces unit leader. Her team is murdered. She is hunted for "property" a terrorist wants back. I've read the whole book and I still don't know what the property is. Boo!

I'm at the fifth chapter and so far I like the characters but I have to confess I'm a little confused. Scratch that. I'm a lot confused. Some back story or world building would be nice.

LOVED THIS BOOK! The beginning was a little confusing, but it didn't take long to figure it out. Then I couldn't put it down. I loved how close all the characters were to each other. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book.

I really like the concept of this book and the characters, but I found it hard to follow at times. It was almost as if I misssed a preceding book; did I?

Oh my head! The author takes events enough for 10 books and throws them all into this one very crowded little book. Suspend all belief, throw science away,this is a crazy book. The Main character is super woman but what else would one expect from the female 1/2 of the world's only male/female identical twins. Sigh, it is almost worth it for it's ridiculous value.

It started off ok, but then by chapter three I was totally confused as to where, what, who, how.
Maybe it was me, I will give it another go in a couple of months but I can only give 1 star as I did not finish it.

I am not a huge reader of fiction, but this is one book I enjoyed. From the start of The Fey, Claudia Hill Christian makes the book very interesting. I absolutely loved the book and had a hard time putting it down. I loved it and would recommend anyone that wants a good book to read. In fact I told my wife she needed to read it. I can't wait till I can read the second book in the series.

Very untidy narrative. My credibility would have to have been stretched a long way to become immersed in the story. My partner (he's from Belfast) was amused when I told him about the heroine's contact with the Provincial (sic) IRA. (Must be culchies).
