The Farrier's Daughter

There is a storyline to be sure, but very little to move it forward. Even the scenes that should have your heart pounding are only lukewarm or just unrealistic. I can't imagine an attempted brutal rape where the attacker keeps talking incessantly. It also seems a little excessive to portray men as beasts who can hardly control their sexual appetites. I hope the rest of the series is somewhat more convincing but will not bother reading the other books.

The Farrier's Daughter, book one of the Irish Witch series is a page turner. Loved the characters of Alainn and Killian, they have known each other for years, now they have fallen in love. Alainn is a very strong willed witch that is not afraid to stand up for herself. Loved the magic and romance. Wonderful history and description that will keep you entertained. This is a cliffhanger, so get ready to read the next book in the series. This is not my typical read but so happy that I read out of my comfort zone. Off to read the next installment, The Witch's Daughter.

Excellent series starter! training to become a healer but her mentor has cautioned her to hide her magical talents for her own safety. There is something different about Alainn and dark secrets about her past that she is desperate to uncover. This is the first book in the series and I am looking forward to the next book! The romance, drama, magic, and danger kept me glued to the pages.
