I didn't read the reviews or the blurb for this book before I started reading so I wasn't sure what to expect.  I had enjoyed a previous book by this author and was browsing for more from her.  Dark Confluence didn't disappoint!It is a story with a quietly brooding, at times chilling mood.  The author is a fantastic world builder.  She effortlessly manages to draw the reader into her world, to the point where you feel as though you're trying to breathe through a heavy fog!The characters were engaging and easy to care about.  As others have mentioned, the main character is not your usual kick-ass heroine, but someone I could naturally identify with.  Jen is a mature woman, a gentle soul who has suffered heartbreak and yet has picked herself up and settled to live a quiet, if seemingly lonely life.  She has no idea what and who is about to come into her life, and the pace in her calm world picks up after she is involved in an accident, and more so once she meets Fionn, a mysterious man who isn't at all what he at first seems.If you liked Faerie Tale by Raymond Feist, then you will find this story just as vivid and haunting, although Fryth's characters seem more real, and her scarier and grim scenes are tackled rather more delicately.
