Short
Summary of the book:
Do you believe in fairies and sprites? No?
Perhaps you will after reading this book.
When Mr Ballantyne dies, new people buy his
home. For years, he believed in fairies and warned not to allow them to kiss
you or you’ll be forever smitten. Two local would-be Wiccans humoured the old
man and Abi cooked up some spells for him, believing in the possible placebo effect.
But were they more than that?
What
I liked about the book:
The book is action-filled and has horror characteristics
throughout.
What
I didn’t like about the book:
The book was enjoyable in its entirety.
My
favourite bits in the book:
Where Abi finds out her spells may be more
real than she thought they were.
My
least favourite bits in the book:
The book was a good read.
Any
further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
This is the first book I’ve read by this
author.
What
books could this be compared to and why?
This book is different to other fairy stories
I’ve read in the past.

Description by Author:
It is winter and England's New Forest is in
the grip of a vigorous blizzard.
Why do summer flowers quickly grow and
radiantly bloom for mere seconds during a winter blizzard?
Why do the same flowers quickly wither and
die with equal speed?
Why did the late Mr. Ballantyne continuously
speak of such radiance caused by the presence of strange little fairy folk?
Why did no one believe him?

When I read
and do reviews, I always categorise the type of book in my own mind and think
of the particular audience that might enjoy. It does not matter if it is
classic, pulp, indie, sci-fi etc. It is all a personal reflection from my own
bubble of thought. I always seem to take something from every book I read.
