Rating: 4 out of 5

Fair warning, for a start, this book is part of a series although it can be read as a standalone. It is also "sort of" the first book as there are actually 3 short stories that lay some groundwork for you if you want them before this! They are:1) Aaibhe-Shee Queen (Legend 0)2) Prince in the Mist (Legend .5)3) Prince, Prelude-Legend (Legend .75)Then comes Spellbound. In this book you meet Maxie Reigate, a descendant of Druids who have close links with the Tuatha De Danaan. She bears the same name and resemblance as one of her ancestors who was killed by a magical vampire who has just been released from a Seelie form of prison and who will undoubtedly come looking for Maxie and try to kill her. Add to the mix a Scottish Lord Druid and a Seelie Fae Prince, both of whom are interested in Maxie.I was a bit dubious about reading this book at first, simply because I have read a few books on the Fae and the Seelie and UnSeelie Courts and, to be honest, have found them a bit lacking. I have to say though that I am glad that I have read this and hope to get the rest of the series as this book leaves you wanting more. I have loved reading about Maxie, Julian and Breslyn and now want to continue with the story, both the general one and the personal stories that are in there as well.My view? Give this book (and series) a chance. You might just be pleasantly surprised as I was.
