Mystical. Magical. Some books just wrap you up in their spell. I know this is what happened with me once I opened The Falconer. The publishing director’s letter at the beginning of this novel warns readers of this. And believe me it delivers!

Eighteen-year-old Lady Ailenana Kameron is supposed to be ‘looking’ for a husband like any proper daughter of marquess. Instead she’s a faery slayer. She craves the hunt and is now hunting for the Baobhan Sith who murdered her mother. Now only if she could tear the confiding grab of her time aside and also resist the chemistry whenever she’s around sithichean Kiaran. He carries his own secret, one that might end up killing Ailenana.The

What worked for me had to be the amazing voice of this novel. Remember, if the voice of the novel sings to me, I’ll follow the characters anywhere. OMG, this book kept me up until 3am in the morning. Loved it so much! I was hooked from the first page. Now this is a true feat as I ‘thought’ I was over tales with faeries. NOT.

Think Steampunk meets 1844 Scotland with one kickass heroine that would give Buffy the Vampire Slayer a run for her money. Only in this case the heroine is supposed to be the proper lady with a secret: she's a faery slayer and loves it.


The chemistry between Ailenana and her teacher Kiaran worked. He wasn’t the typical ‘bad’ faery but rather let readers glimpse into the sorrow he’d carried for so long.

Spellbinding tale with amazing twists and turns throughout that will have you demanding more!
