It is such an amazing feeling when you find a series that you cannot put down for a second. Where you finish one book, and instantly buy the next and start it because you just have to know what happens next. Where you actually may force yourself to stop so that the book will last just a little longer. The Creepy Hollow series was that for me. I was hooked in book one, and by The Faerie War, I was in love with everything this series has to offer. And yes, I am definitely in book depression now that it is over.
Violet is one of those characters, that regardless of what she's been put through or what she does to herself, you cannot help but adore her. She's fierce and strong and definitely her own person. Then on the other side, Ryn, you are forever my love. In the first book, I knew I hearted you. In The Faerie Prince, I grew to just love and adore you and finally in this last installment you have easily become a favorite book boyfriend of mine. I just adored watching these two fight the world together (whether they were fighting or not).
I have to throw a shout out to Arthur...YES the shrinking dragon! I want one. With The Faerie War, I love how everything built up to multiple moments that you knew were hopefully coming and just couldn't wait to read about. I also loved all the new characters and work building we see in this last book. Overall, I absolutely adored this series. If you're looking for a fun but dark, fast-paced, awesome fae read, definitely give this series a shot!

This was a good series. I LOVED Ryn. He had a great personality. I liked V after she took the forget. I just didn't like her self talk when she remembered everything.

I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I really love this series. It's so well written and the plot lines are well done while also being intricately weaves between all the different books. Rachel Morgan does an amazing job setting up the universe of the fae realm and creepy hollow and beyond. The characters feel like friends as you gradually read through each of the stories.
The Fairie Guardian was a continuation of that excellence. It is filled with real emotions and heartbreaks and triumphs. I found myself getting excited with the characters or feeling their sorrow when a loved one was lost. I also loved the ending of the series. It felt very appropriate to the story and was not too overdone. The series rounds out very well.
I really did love this series. Thinking of Violet and Ryn just makes me smiles. This is a beautiful universe to have been swept away with. Definitely worth the read.

The Faerie War was so good. Such a good sequel. The writing was Splendid. It had so many twists and turns, such unique and great characters.
The whole series is so fast-paced, full of action, and romance. It has comic relief from Em, and from Tilly as well - she was so cute, brave, and admirable! I really liked the magic system and the world, It was really easy to get immersed in the story. Violet grew so much, her journey of getting her memories back was so beautiful. (that scene in the boat killed me and I woke up in Heaven!!) So DAMN BEAUTIFUL!! This series has such a beautiful and heartwarming love story. I LOVE IT!!
Ryn is hands down my favourite Character!! And I loved that we got his POV. He has such a great sense of humour. I felt my heart break for Ryn so many times. I love him, I love him and Vi together. The plot/ending was kind of bittersweet because of Violet's memory loss, Ryns heartbreak and other *spoilery* stuff... but also because I knew that this was the end of this story.( i.e. Vi and Ryns story). Ryn is my new book boyfriend. :)
I'm so excited to read the next book in the series even though it focuses on new characters. I'm going to miss being in Vi's head and also Ryn. I have a feeling that this series is going to become one of my favourites

The only reason it gets two stars is because I actually finished it. It was good enough to hold my interest, but even that fact somewhat confounds me. If it were a draft, I would say it had potential. It feels like it was written by a teenager who doesn't read much. The author fell into the fantasy trap of convenient magical solutions to both plot building and resolution. Dialogue is possibly the worst part. And don't get me started on"flipping flip" and "crapping crap". Despite all this, I see many readers have enjoyed this, so it's possible I'm just not the right audience.

I am totally in LOVE with this series. This book is the one where the real action kicked in. This whole book is just packed with action, drama, love, forgotten love and love that returns. Sneaky people are a big part too and nobody seems to be who they pretend to be. Some turn out positive, some turn out to be assholes.
I'll have a really hard time to say goodbye too Ryn and Violet. It'll be hard to accept Calla taking over in book 4, but I'm happy Ryn and Violet will be living happily ever after in the end.
I'll be re-reading this series once I get my physical copies and I'll love this series forever. AND I'll force everyone in my literature course this school year to read this book too and they'll be forced to love it as much as I do!
So far I've experienced all possible emotions with this series. Rachel Morgan makes me feel everything the characters feel like Ryn is able to do.
Pure awesomeness!
