I bought this book a while back, but it took a while for me to get to. Now I regret the time because this was one of those tales that is hard to put down. I read it in two days and if my kids would have been less needy, (j/k), I can tell you, I would have finished it faster.Blood Fairey starts off with the murder of a human, something that would probably not have caughte Eilidh's attention, (pronounced AY-lee)if not for the fact that it was done by another fairey. This troubles the Eilidh, who has been living in exile for possessing forbidden magic. She recognizes it as the sam kind of magic she was exiled for, only stronger and, unlike her intentions, was used for evil.I am in awe of the authors ability to keep the reader in suspense. Eilidh befriends a human, something that is unheard of, and in so doing, uncovers a secret about humans that has been forgotten over the years. As Munroe gets more involved in the investigation, it becomes clear that he is in as much danger as the faeries and perhaps even more. At times I was frustrated, because I was urging Eilidh to hurry with what she was doing, because I was afraid for Munroe.There is a cast of characters, many with names that are difficult to pronounce. I found myself not liking Saor, who once had been Eilidh's lover, feeling for Munroe, who felt inadequate around Eilidh, but was more accepting of her than her own people. The characters were well written and I look forward to reading India Drummond's next book. I don't give out 5 stars lightly and I think this is one that deserves it and more!
