Comments (optional - but try to keep it under 3000 words!)

Drummond capitalizes on the attractiveness of the supernatural suspense genre, particularly the idea of faeries (and druids) being able to secretly blend into human society to some degree.  But the premise of this book goes beyond that and paints a reasonably compelling picture of what the underlying “Fae” culture might look like.  Personally, I liked the book quite a bit, but would hesitate to recommend it to those who don’t find the genre all that interesting.  There are 5 sequels to this one, and I might get to some of them – just not in a big hurry to do so.

“Queen of the Night,” by J. A. Jance [6-11]
