This is an amazing series if you love fey, magic, and druids mixed into a dark urban/modern story that really mixes the mythology into a real sense of how fairies and magic made it's way into human history, and more importantly Ireland.The series so far takes place in, or under, modern Ireland which gives it a unique twist as you learn about the fey mounds, a hint of druid history and how it is connected, and how fey mix unnoticed amongst humans.What I love is Archer and Ravynheart set the series up in End of the World, the first of the series, where you get only Lugh's, a Seelie fey, perspective of what is happening and how his story unfolds. They follow up with Aftershock, where the entire story is retold but from Jhael's, an Unseelie who is like the dark to Lugh's light, eyes. What's interesting is how Jhael and Lugh know each other. They are fey elite called Sidhe and rule all fey kind. Though there are two kingdom's of Sidhe, Seelie and Unseelie, Lugh and Jhael are like the champion warriors of each side and have fought each other for thousands of years.I can't say more without giving it away. It truly is one of the best urban fantasy stories I've ever read. Falling upon this gem is like walking down the street and finding a winning lotto ticket:)
