The Allison Lee Chronicles #2
The Blood of Faeries
Allison Lee wilts under the bright light of celebrity after being exposed as a shape-shifting monster. She'd rather be behind the camera than in front of it. Being under the tooth and claw of her monstrous mother is even less enjoyable. All she desires is for everything to go back to the way things were before she discovered her true nature. But, after she accidentally kills a mysterious man sent to kidnap her, she realizes piecing her old life back together is one gnarly jigsaw puzzle. When Allison's sometimes boyfriend Haji goes missing, Allison and her squad suspect his unhealthy interest in magic led to his disappearance. Their quest to find Haji brings them face-to-face with beings thought long ago extinct whose agenda remains an enigma.

I received an advance copy of this book to review. The review is my own opinion.
I'd never read Rice's work before, and am glad I did. His plot is multilayered and reads easy and unpredictable.
For those who expect a soft and fluffy faerie story, this is not it. The protagonist is sympathetic for several reasons, but when motivated she is deadly. Without using an example that would spoil the plot, be aware of the protagonist's reactions----they are always justified and always more than enough to handle a situation. If in doubt, just look at her Mother's reaction. The very first time the author displays how Mother controls things is with her reaction to someone the protagonist has violently ended. Their relationship is not just complicated, it drives the plot.
As book 2 of the series, this offering does not disappoint. Any fan of this genre will be happy they picked it up.

The second installment of the Allison Lee Chronicles starts off uncommon (in a good way) for the genre: the entire world knows who Allison Lee is and what her supernatural abilities are. This causes her to become a target of protesting fanatics, worshipful zealots, and the U.S. Government. The reader gets to dive in deeper to how magic works, who are candidates to possessing magic, and get introduced to a new species - which as an avid fantasy reader, I thoroughly enjoyed. There is also a lot more high tech, science stuff. I don't normally read SciFi, so I can't speak to that, but I think it's clear that Dan knows what's up in the SciFi part of the literary world. I have no doubt that readers of science fiction will enjoy the villain and her crazy experiments.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
The Blood of Faeries, while slightly better than its predecessor, is another fantastical (outlandish) novel in Dan Rice's Allison Lee Chronicles. It starts off with Allison being her usual surly self with her endless disdain of those trying to protect her. Due to her arrogance, she puts her squad and herself in danger.
Here is where it starts to get a little bizarre. They're whisked off to an island that has its own covert agenda. They then meet a being who is supposed to no longer exist (enter: the book title after ages of pages) along with some majorly souped-up magical soldiers. I'm trying to avoid spoilers, but let's just say that it gets even more ridiculous from this point.
If you're on the lookout for a magical yet angry teen creature novel, then this one is your book!

Since finding out she is a shape-shifter, Allison is unable to return to her life before. It’s even been fair to say her life is now miserable: constant government surveillance, protests outside her home, everyone calling her a monster, and her mother back in her life.
Then it gets worse, as she is kidnapped by human forces looking to take advantage of her powers.
Much stronger offering than the first in the series. Characters are being developed well, and we learn more about all the unseen forces at play.

Privileged to read an ARC of this sequel to Dragons Walk among Us. Dan Rice ups the action and the tension in this YA page-during fantasy. He reveals so much more about the unseen magical world. And it just keeps getting more complicated for Allison and all of her friends. Just when we think we understand dragons, Skaggs, and their motives, we find out about faeries--and the lengths some humans will go to obtain magic.
I look forward to book 3 and hope it comes soon!

Dan Rice’s The Blood of Faeries: The Allison Lee Chronicles Volume 2, is a YA fantasy, action/adventure that brings to the stage dragons, faeries, skaags, and magic. Rice continues the saga of Allison Lee. Set in the Pacific Northwest with environmental and social undertones, Rice picks up thus story after the battles in which she finds out what she is and that her perfect mother is the reason why. They are both skaags—monsters.
Allison’s new life requires a protection crew and has attracted the media who now know she’s a skaag, a shapeshifter capable of morphing into an alligator, eel abomination. Hence, Allison’s new nickname, monster girl. Her fan base has made her something of an idol but the haters, and yes there are many, have turned her into something to fear. What Allison wants to avoid at all costs is a “one-way trip to a lock-up on a military base.”
Her biggest problem is how to return to “normal.” She’d really like to go to school, hang out with her best friend Dalia, and she’d like her teen life back please. Fat chance any of that will happen with her protection detail trying to save her from “the crazies” who want her dead. Rice makes sure she knows in the first couple chapters, though, that she can’t trust her own bodyguard who lets in an assassin, Timmy the little kid next door who takes seemingly innocent selfies with her to post on Monsterspotting.com destroying her anonymity, and then there’s Haji. He’s the boy she locked lips with, the boy she hoped she could trust.
Allison and her friends slip through the surveillance, on their way to a protest march about the environment, but when Haji badgers Allison to agree to an interview with a podcaster keen to host a monster on his show, she gets angry. No. Pissed is more like it, and when the “sleeper” within her threatens to wake, she begins to fear herself and what she is capable of, i.e., murder, mayhem, and general chaos on a grand and epic scale.
Then Haji disappears, and Allison has a very bad feeling. Haji’s increased interest in magic has led him to some of the sketchiest places in Seattle because in this world it is well known that heroin enhances the capabilities of magicians, and Haji would do anything to impress Allison with his magical skills to win her back. Allison and Dalia enlist a creature they can trust, Mauve, a dragon hidden in human form, to join their team and rescue Haji, but what they encounter proves to be too much even for Mauve.
Dan Rice develops a strong female protagonist in Allison, and her sense of loyalty to her friends gets her in and out of trouble. She would never hurt her friends by transforming into a skaag, and her decision never to kill again is becoming harder to resist, but will she have to in order to save humanity? She grapples with these internal struggles as she tries to save Haji from the evil scientists who have found a way to enhance human abilities and form a magical army to fight the monsters. How are they doing this, you ask? By using the blood of faeries.
Rice’s masterful plot twists and action scenes will keep you reading as you root for Allison and her friends in what seems at times a lost battle for the lives of her friends. Magic, dragons, skaags, and technology straight out of the best science fiction has to offer are the fuel that launch this novel in page turning overdrive.
Dan Rice’s novel is a force of magical creatures against evil, but it’s up to Allison to figure out what is real, what is illusion, and how can she manage and control the powers within her own body. This paranormal, fantasy, adventure takes on the environment, the establishment, and any form of authority to show a strong female hero at work to make the world a better place.
Until the next time.
Dan Rice’s The Blood of Faeries: The Allison Lee Chronicles Volume 2 is a five-star page turner that will captivate your imagination.

This is a super fun, action-packed, witty, well-paced monster story.
This book starts off FAST with a ton of details, so I’d say in general it’s probably smart to read the first book before this one to ‘not be too surprised by the rules of the world thrown at you early’, but that goes without saying. For those of us who read this one first, it didn’t take too long to get accustomed to all the fantasy and monster aspects, so it’s not too confusing.
What makes this book SO immersive is the overall tone of the narration. The ‘voice’ here is cute! I like the way this POV character describes things to us. I definitely ‘feel’ this character and the narration is really well-done. As a nitpicky thing, maybe sometimes the dialogue scenes and back-and-forth tend to go on a liiiittle long – it’s good to see these characters interacting, but it feels a little like too much sometimes especially in the earlier parts of the book. But, even then, the dialogue is still really good. I like the little vocal tics various characters have, including Ace saying “Chill, chill. Just my phone” around page 150. There are some darn cute quotations: “Some people are never satisfied, Allison. Don’t be some people.” made me laugh out loud. This book is funny!! Immersive stuff!
The relationships feel complex and well-built-out too. I like the complicated relationship with the mom character, the mom is really interesting. Their conversations are tense and scary in a good way. I also liked the friendship with Haji where him being an “ex” doesn’t mean he’s automatically a villain, and I liked the friendship with Leslie in the beginning. Without spoiling too much, even though Leslie doesn’t show up much in the second half of the book, it’s a cool twist to see this “popular girl” standing up for put-upon kids early on at least.
And then, of course, we’ve got the action scenes. The action and monster scenes are scary and gross in very good ways. I can follow all the moves with nasty saliva and blood and fighting and can picture all these details and descriptions easily. The pacing is really good here too – it’s easy to see how Allison is pushed to her breaking point; there’s enough “time” for all these little things to build up, which makes the action really satisfying, and when people pick fights and respond with violence it feels ‘earned.’ Still, even with a ton of violence, the “we should choose peace when we can, killing is pretty terrible actually” messages don’t feel forced, and I think the different characters process their decisions in complex ways in the climax and ending of the story.
Overall, this is a ton of fun. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a high-energy, well-detailed monster story.

Be Careful Who You Trust
In the second book of the Allison Lee Chronicles, Allison is put through more trauma and discovers that her world is far more complicated.
She's home after her last ordeal and trying to find a semblance of normality when a new threat enters her life. This time it's closer and very human. After she’s exposed as a half Skaag shapeshifter Allison is under constant government ‘protection’ and she hates it. Her mother is back in her life, but the relationship is strained and Allison struggles to accept her new life.
I enjoyed the constant tension in book two of this series. As new characters entered the fray it added to the mystery and suspense. The author is good at taking real life concerning challenges like global conservation and social issues and skillfully making it part of the story. It’s a subtle reminder to us all.
Allison and her friends are put in danger when they are kidnapped by scientists who want to experiment and exploit Skaags, Dragons and Faeries. These scientists are more ruthless and murderous than anyone Allison has met thus far and escaping seems impossible. I found myself rooting for some of book one’s bad guys which just shows how well Dan Rice tells a story where characters can evolve.
There is a lot of character development and growth in book two which makes them relatable despite this being a fantasy novel. I highly recommend this series and can’t wait for book 3.

Review for The Blood of Faeries by Dan Rice.
@henryroi.pr #blacktidetours
This is book 2 in the Allison Lee Chronicles by Dan Rice.
I read book 1 Dragons walk among us and really enjoyed this book. A young adult fantasy. The protagonist is a half Breed shapeshifting Human/ Skaag teenager, who with her friends get caught up in a battle that involves dragons and a urgency to save the world from her own kind. I gave book 1 a total of 4 stars.
REVIEW FOR BOOK 2:
The blood of faeries continues the story of Allison Lee who discovered she is a half breed in book 1. I’m giving The Blood of Faeries 4 stars. This book was exciting and the story kept me engaged. Allison just wants her life to go back to normal, a life where she can go to school, enjoy her photography and drink good coffee with her best friends, her squad. Instead she finds herself trying to find her friend who’s in danger and fighting for her life without the help of 1/2 Skagg self. Everyone she loves is in danger of losing their lives, can she find the strength? can she awaken the monster inside her? who can she trust? and will she and her friends escape with their lives?
Battles, magic, dragons, faeries and much much more.
There is also a surprise ending that I found unexpected, it left me and it will leave you wanting more, and as this book is The Allison Lee Chronicles Book 2, I eagerly await book 3 and find out what happens next in Allison’s, her family and her friends lives.

Looking for your next great read? Look no further than The Blood of Faeries. Dan Rice takes readers on a dark, edgy fantasy adventure they won't soon forget. It starts out with descriptive narration and world building so immersive, I couldn't help but dive in.
The plot progression is smooth with plenty of action scenes, emotional tension, and high stakes.
The characters are familiar (I read book one) and yet they've gone through immense growth. I connected with many of the characters but mostly with Allison.
The writing, though, is what makes this book an unforgettable YA fantasy. Dan Rice improved his writing over the course of the last year and his hard work is evident in this book. Using classic fantasy techniques, his narration is tight, clean, and flawless. His characterizations are well-crafted and brilliantly executed. He's quite the wordsmith and his skill is evident through each scene in this book.
One of the most anticipated books of 2023, The Blood of Faeries whisks you away in blissful fantasy adventure. I strongly recommend this book!

Allison Lee’s adventures continue in this sequel to Dragons Walk Among Us. Blood of Faeries takes place after the events of book one, with Allison finding herself a reluctant celebrity known as “monster girl” with as many fans as detractors. Living with her stern, shape-shifting mother, Allison yearns to return to her old, less complicated life while struggling to contain the newly unleashed beast within her. Rice’s second volume in the Allison Lee Chronicles is darker than the first, with its teen protagonist immersed in a world of drug use, violent urges, and dangerous threats around every turn. The core of the story, however, is a teenager struggling to balance her own changes with the pressure of family, friends, and an ancient war between dragons and skaags. There’s a lost innocence with Allison in this installment, but after everything she’s been through prior to this book, her hardened point of view is not only justified but a testament to the character’s very real evolution as a person.
April 29, 2023
The Blood of Faeries by Dan Rice is a compelling sequel to Dragons Walk Among Us in The Allison Lee Chronicles.
The book follows the main character Allison Lee as she tries to adjust to her life as a half-skaag that is known throughout the world due to The Incident that occurred in the first book. She is trying to head back to school to resume some normality but is under constant security and surveillance that leaves her feeling embittered.
Her friend/ex-boyfriend, Haji, by trying to get back in Allison's good graces goes missing. It is in the search for him that Allison and her friends end up encountering another world of troubles.
I found this follow-up on Allison's story to be very interesting! I felt as if Allison grew more as a character and also that the author's writing developed more from the first book. It was certainly an action-packed story and kept me engaged in the outcome from the beginning. I am very curious to see how Allison's story plays out in the coming book.

I loved it as much as the first book in the series. Allison is more developed as a character from the first book to the second, and her journey also progresses as she tries to deal with her family, friends, her differences now that she has been exposed. She has teenager issues to cope with together with her shape-shifting monster peculiar issues. I think that has a lot of how teenagers feel in the world... Trying to belong and cope with their lives. There is a lot of adventure and fantasy, and I like very much this mix of characters and the mix of high fantasy with urban fantasy. Very authentic. Dan also brings to light important subjects, like in the first book in the series. Can't wait to see what comes next!

This book is definitely more violent and gory than book one. Everyone knows who and what Allison Lee is now. There is no hiding from the public or herself. She is a teenage outcast trying to determine who she is and who she wants to be while battling internal and external evil. She doesn't want to kill, but sometimes she cannot stop herself. She is determined to do the least amount of harm possible but in such an evil world, it is more than a small challenge. I can't wait to see where the mind of Dan Rice takes Allison in book three.

The Blood Faeries is the second book in Dan Rice’s Allison Lee Chronicles. Action starts on page one. Allison, a half-skaag teenager, struggles with getting to know her mom, a dragon-hunting shapeshifter, who hasn’t been in her life for a long time, and acclimating to school after The Incident. The novel works as a standalone but reading the first book would probably offer a better experience. The cast of characters include faeries, magic, and dragons. A dynamic mix of creativity.

A great story with Allison as the featured character. She’s strong but just wants to get back to a quiet life. After learning some secrets, how will she handle this, being a shifter is one of them. Easy reading.
