The main character of the book is a young lady named MacKayla Lane. MacKayla is a typical twenty-one year old until her sister who is studying abroad in Ireland is murdered. MacKayla is determined to go to Ireland to find her sister’s killer. In this first book of the series, MacKayla discovers that she is a sidhe seer and begins her quest to find the book called the “Sinsar Dubh”. This book tells of how to open the gates between the human world and the Fae world. On this journey she meets Jericho Barrons who helps her in her quest.
This book is not the type that I would usually read. It is full of fantasy and mystical creatures. This book is the first in a series that Karen Moning has written. Every Sunday I like to read the best-seller list that is published. The fifth book in the series “Shadowfever” was listed as the #1 best-seller on February 6, 2011. The description read “In the fifth book MacKayla is caught up in the struggle between humans and the Fae”. This one sentence caught my attention. I did a little search on the internet and decided to read the first book in this series. It is not every day that I find a book that has “creatures” that are called by my name so I decided to read it.
Will I read the rest of the books in the series? I do not think so. I do not like to read about something that has uses my name and is full of evil.
