A Quick Review … (#64/365)
Posted by: Devyl GyrlHave you read Claudia Hall Christian’s “The Fey” yet? If not, WHY NOT?
Claudia is a friend of mine from a couple of social hot-spots. She, on more than one occasion, gave me emotional and mental support when I was nearly hitting bottom over the last year or so. No matter what obstacles I face, Claudia is there with a warm hug, an energetic message, and an uplifting smile.
I have to admit, as much as I wanted to read her books (she has another, “The Denver Cereal,” which I have not yet finished because I lent it to BFF to read while at a doctor’s appointment with Baby S), I was also worried about doing so. There is nothing I dread more than reading something a friend wrote and NOT enjoying it … and having to tell them the truth about my thoughts. Most of my friends tend to be very emotionally unstable when it comes to their “art,” and their feelings get hurt enough that they disappear for days, weeks, or months when I am honest about what I think.
I need not have worried about “The Fey.” Alex is a strong, intelligent woman with a huge heart and a mystery to solve. She has fiercely loyal friends, family, and teammates, and she must set about finding who tried to kill her, and why. Her loved ones are behind her (beside her, in front of her, and above her!), and do whatever it takes to help her see her mission through to completion. A little bit of everything for everyone, “The Fey” is a quick read, intriguing from the start. The imagery allows you to place yourself within the story and live it as if it was your own. Before you know it, you will be reading the last scene … and you will be left wanting more, but feeling satisfied all the same.
Do yourself a favor, and click that new lil widget thingamabob I have over there in my sidebar and follow the link to “The Fey.” Do yourself a bigger favor and just order the book, curl up in your favorite reading spot, and get comfortable for a few hours!

I’m so glad you liked it! Claudia is so talented. When I finished the Fey I closed it and immediately started begging for the sequel. Now go snatch back Denver Cereal and get to reading!
XOXOXO Miss you and love you!!!
