I finished this book earlier this week and must admit I was impressed. It's not the most epic piece of Urban Fantasy I've ever read, but it tells a real interesting story.

The main character Bronwyn is so conflicted and is coming from dark place. Trying to get into her head and understand her motivations, for me at least, made this novel all the more intriguing.

The Tuatha Dé Danann got to America first and are just trying to live their lives in a quiet mountain town in eastern Tennessee... The wild child returns a wounded reluctant war hero.

I really liked this book a lot. It was a more quiet, personal kind of fantasy story than I've been reading lately. No huge, world changing stakes. Just some intimate family drama in a small mountain town in the American south, focusing on a community called the Tufa. It had really great world building (or, rather, town building). A really quick read!

Great start to a series. Unique and interesting characters. Looking forward to seeing where the night winds will take us.
