Blood Faerie by India Drummond is the first book in the series " The Caledonia Fae", and by far the best books I have read with regards to the realm of the Fae. The Urban fantasy market is flooded with books that are easy to read and no substance.  How fortunate for us that Blood Faerie is not one of those stories. This is a fantastic novel tells the story of Eilidh, one of the Fae that has been exiled into the human world. Eilidh who gives off a childlike innocence when it comes to the human world even though she lives in the shadows to protect her identity. Until one day she is forced to come into her own true power as a watcher when "her" city is threatened by one of her own.  The two worlds of Fae and human merge when Eilidh is forced to forge a very unique relationship with a cop named Munro in order to catch a murderer.The story is one of exile, sacrifice, loss, determination and self-discovery. I loved the author's ability to portray deep emotions through the simplest of actions, and attention to detail.  I found myself deeply submersed in the world in which the author creates. The blending of the human and fae worlds were very believable and realistic as I watched events unfold. I think what I enjoyed most was the portrayal of the differences between the human and fae. It was very evident that they come from completely different worlds, and both worlds with the help of Eilidh and Munro are forced to adapt and change.The plot was well paced, along with a several subplots that blended nicely and helped move the story along. I really enjoyed the suspense and tension that the author was able to build. I found myself getting worked up and the feeling of suspense kept me turning pages.  The evil in this book is very believable; the murders are described in gritty detail as we find ourselves caught up in events that lead to a dynamic outcome.This book falls into the Urban Fantasy genre and does offer a crisp new perceptive when it comes to the world of the Fae. The author was able to blend suspense and fantasy, in a most interesting way. I liked the fact that the two main characters did not fall into bed with each other. The sexual tension was there and tangible, but there were more important things to do first....like catch a murderer.With the US release of this book set for June 1st, which just happens to be tomorrow, I give this book a worthy 5 stars. I high recommend this book for those who are love to be kept in suspense until the very end. I for one am looking forward to reading the next book!5 Stars!Reviewed for Darkissreads.
