Blood Faerie Launch Day!

Woo! It's Wednesday, and it's launch day for Blood Faerie, a fab new book by India Drummond -- the best writer pal a gal could ever hope for. India and I met through our blogs a few years ago and since then we've both experienced the highs and lows of the writing life. I'm thrilled to support her latest release, not only because she's been so supportive of me, but also because it's a bloody fantastic read. And I'm not even into faeries!

Here's my review:

I started reading India Drummond's 'Blood Faerie' on a noisy plane, but within seconds I was drawn into the world of Eilidh and the mystery surrounding the strange murders in a small Scottish town. A faerie who has been cast out for using forbidden magic, Eilidh watches humans from a distance. But when the murders continue and she might have the powers to stop them, she can't help but get involved. Drummond skilfully intertwines human and faerie worlds, drawing the reader easily into both the delights and horrors each entails. Quite often in books such as these, I feel bogged down by all the rules and rituals of the world the author has created. I never felt that way here -- every detail unfolds in such a natural way I could almost believe faeries do exist! If you're looking for a compelling, well written mystery with a touch of romance, I highly recommend this book. Having read Drummond's debut novel 'Ordinary Angels' as well as this one, I can't wait to see what's next!

So, to get your copy of Blood Faerie, go to: Amazon USA, Amazon UK, and Amazon DE (Germany). And you can read and post reviews on Goodreads, Shelfari, and Library Thing.


And if you have a chance pop over to India's and say hi!

    Talli, nice review. I like the idea of a Faerie smoothly moving in to help. I know what you mean on bogs of rules and rituals.

    Sounds intriguing and I'll check it out.

    Sia McKye's Thoughts...OVER COFFEE

    Thanks for posting such a great review. As Jessica says, I also would say I'm not into faeries but I know when I pick up a well written book, it really doesn't matter, I get drawn in the story.

    A;; the best to India!
