Review: The Matchmaker's Mark
Rating: 4 out of 5

Elves, Werewolves and magical humans, what more can you ask for. Regan delivers a a gem in The Matchmaker's Mark. It is an alternative for adults who want to read about fairytale lands that usually are geared towards YA. With action, a touch of humor and all romance you are sure to find what you are looking for here.I have to say I enjoyed reading this book. It was different, for me at least. I don't read a lot of books where elves and magic take the forefront. Reagan creates a vivid world and describes Charleston SC beautifully. You can easily picture the scene that is described on the page. I have to say I appreciate Regan's interpretation on the South. I have read a lot of books that have featured Southern characters and the South as a backdrop and find the character's dialog dumbed down. Or end every sentence with "y'all". I didn't find that here and being from the South I am grateful. There is lots of romance in this book and a few love scenes ;)I have to say though at first I was a little confused with the story. I wondered who was the herione in the story? It centers more around Lily and Dare than Amy. After reading the book it came together well. The characters are entertaining and fun. The story is more that I thought when I first began reading it. You get a story that is a little more complex than just a matchmaker finding matches. It's about Lily really finding herself and who she is.Overall I enjoyed the book. The author did a great job. There where some flat parts to it but it still was a good read.Disclaimer: I received this book courtesy of Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
