In all honesty, when I opened up the "list of things I need to read before next Monday" and saw this book I had a less than flattering reaction to this title. Okay, if I'm being totally honest it was sort of a "what the effe was I thinking when I requested this?" reaction.Listen, I've been known to do crazy stuff before. It's not my fault.It's society.Anyways, I get this book and I start reading without much hope for a happy ending. For me anyways. The characters could worry about their own selves. When it started with an honest to goodness talking horse I just about gave up hope.Which would've been a shame since this was actually a fun ride. On a pooka. Okay, not really, but it made me giggle to type it.I did enjoy this book. It takes place in Ireland with butt tons of Fae, but not in the way you'd expect them. Some family drama, but not in the way you'd expect it. And romance.But not in the way you'd expect it.Not gonna lie folks, the main story line, you know the one with the pooka, resolved itself a little too neatly for my liking. It was just kind of like "BLAM THIS PROBLEM IS SOLVED." Still, it was a good story and up until the breadcrumbs lead you to a shiny box wrapped up with a neat little bow and a tag that reads "here is the solution to all your woes" it's an adventure. One with unicorns and everything.The other story line. The one with the hearts and flowers and butterflies pooping out rainbows... well that one was slightly predictable as well, but it was gut clenching and oh so satisfying to read.3.5 stars
