I've just recently found the new genre called New Adult fiction which focuses on young men and women fresh out of high school and exploring their options. As mom of two teens, I enjoy this type of read for two reasons: One, who doesn't like to relive their own youth? and, Two, it helps me to understand my own teenagers a bit better.Unearth, book #1 in the Fae Witch Trilogy, is a New Adult book and, as such, I found it a fun and exciting read. Fun because the protagonist, Aria, worries about her looks and boyfriend troubles and college courses. Ah, to have those easy troubles again! Exciting because of the paranormal aspects of the story. I can't give too many details regarding the plot because there are surprises throughout the entire book and I feel that it just wouldn't be fair of me to give any spoilers.What I can tell you about Unearth is that Aria, the protagonist, and her two best friends, Morgan and Kayla, head to their first year of college in the big city. They have all pledged to concentrate on studies and forget about boys. Within the first day,however, that pledge flies right out the window, at least for Aria, when the hottest guy EVER smiles at her in lecture hall. However, Aria has to temper the excitement of finding the man of her dreams with the terror of a forbidding raven-haired, blue-eyed stalker and odd things happening in her mind.Away from her loving and overly-protective parents, Aria must try to make her own decisions. Unfortunately, she makes some very bad choices which lead her and her two besties to beautiful Ireland and directly into the path of a race war. Fairies and Famorii, or demons as we call them, are fighting over Aria and all of humanity. Can she finally make the right decision and save the world?
