I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Anyone who has read my reviews knows I do not spend a lot of time giving a synopsis of the book because that typically is on Goodreads next to the book cover or on Amazon etc., so, I will move forward. It's great to see another book about the fae that, though it holds to some of what appears to be some traditional terminology in books about this group of supernaturals, it still strikes out on its own. It definitely held me in its grasp, and not

Kendis is pretty close to what I'd think of as the perfect sort of friend for myself. Nerdy job, nerd-like interests, half-fae...I think we'd get along quite well. She does have this unfortunate tendency to want to ignore the reality of the situation, but I'll give her leniency for the fact her whole world just imploded. And she does rally quickly when the situation grows bad and someone needs to remain in control.

Faerie Blood is fairly standard modern urban fantasy fare; that's not intended to be read as a bad thing, however, since the same can be said of, well, most modern urban fantasy fare.
Though the story was enjoyably presented, there weren't really any huge surprises beyond the whole "holy crap, mythical creatures are real, and a fair number of them want to kill (and in some cases, possibly eat) me!" experience of the protagonist. Then again, not every book needs such plot tw More...

I enjoyed this story of Seattle software programmer Kendis Thompson who ends up being part Fae. She's different from other urban fantasy heroines because she is a proud geek girl (and we don't see enough geek girl heroines) with many nice nods to Star Trek and Star Wars. She's snarky like most UF heroines, sure, but she isn't over the top about it.
Much of the story deals with Kendis finding out that there are Fae alive and well in her city while the full on fantasy background didn't More...

This book was an okay read, it was just boring. The hero never really gives me a whole lot of power. I didn't feel safe with him at all and the majority of the time the heroine was begging people to tell her what was going on. The names of the adversaries were too difficult to remember. I wanted to say, ohh are you a good witch or a bad witch to figure out who was good, bad or indifferent. It's like there was another story out there that I should have read before reading this one to understand t

This is a well written and entertaining book. The suspense and humour blend well together and the characters are interesting and unusual. Recommended!

What a fun read this was.
Fast paced and I just adored the group of characters and how they interacted. On a whole it was great. It was rather warm, no sex which I found refreshing and sweet in fact in the romance sense. In the Urban Fantasy sense, it was action packed and believable. Gritty in some parts. It was so unlike anything that I have read and what a pleasant surprise it was.
