Anna Shalimova anna198 — I preface this review with the statement that I know this is urban fantasy fiction which requires one to suspend one's disbelief. However, that being said, I could not suspend my disbelief in this one, not because of the supernatural elements to the novel (fairies exist, blah blah blah) but it is the actions of the protagonist that I couldn't really believe. The protagonist is supposed to be an accessory loving, girly-girl concerned with her tan and nail polish who suddenly goes from quasi-cheerleader to badass. MacKayla (who goes by Mac) vacillates between being a scared little girl (okay, maybe not so little as she is supposed to be in her 20s) to vengeful warrior woman. I don't buy her character arc. I theoretically understand why she goes to Dublin but if she had such a strong relationship with her parents (as is implied) I don't think she would have gone. Additionally, I found the character of Jericho was beyond my belief as well. He goes from rough and brutish to suave and elegant to painting Mac’s nails for her. What the what? Mac goes from hating Jericho one minute, to being attracted to him the next, to wanting him to take care of her and protect her. There is clearly sexual tension there which if I were interested in the character I might want to see how their relationship develops. Speaking of sexual tension, granted, I fully admit that I have little to no knowledge about Faery lore, but a sex faery? Really? Come on. The interactions between Mac and the sex faery prince border on obscene and I found them truly laughable. The novel’s slightly smutty moments peppered into the plot seem like a device to try to distract from an otherwise drawn out and banal plot. I realize this is the first in a series, and a lot of set up is required but it feels like nothing really happens. The reader finds out what brought Mac to Dublin, what she “is”, and by the end she has a clue to go on but I was left feeling that the plot was too straightforward. Perhaps I have a myopic view of the series and it gets far more complicated; maybe it gets better, but I’m unsure if I want to continue the journey.
