A couple spelling mistakes. The dad pisses me off, just sitting around not helping. Anytime she’s around her autistic brother she mentions that he is autistic, which wasn’t very abnormal until I started reading book two.

Thanks to Netgalley and Indie Inked for giving me this book and the rest of Faery Worlds to review.
With eyes that change colour and being able to see and hear things which others cannot, Meghan has always been an outcast. With her visions getting worse, Meghan starts to think she is going crazy. That is until she meets Cade, who might have the answers she needs. Faelorehn is a enjoy book which is a quick read with Celtic mythology. I like Meghan and her friends and I felt I could have fit in well in their group. We did not see enough of Cade and I hope we see more of him in the next book. I would recommend Faelorehn to people who like Stolen Away by Alyxandra Harvey.

I have never been so happy for a book to end. This one was only around 150 pages, but it just dragged on. The writing is poor and started to turn me off of the story almost immediately, but the characters and the lack of story development was just horrible.

I know very little about Celtic lore and legend, so to start a book based on it (even if loosely) was a great treat.
Meghan's always been a little quirky. A lot of people in high school dodge her because of her odd quirks and behavior through out her school life. But Meghan doesn't mind, she has a great group of friends and she's pretty okay with life.
But then, more weird things start happening and suddenly, there is a boy coming around telling her things that make no sense. But the more Meghan listens, the more she realizes that maybe there is more to what this strange boy is saying. And maybe all the strange things that have happened in her life - maybe they all were for a reason. And she needs to understand the reason before she puts everyone in danger.
I liked Meghan, even if she was a big immature and silly at times. I enjoyed her quirks. Her friends were cute and sweet and I'm glad they stood by each other when the bullies swarmed.
but I never felt a connection to the story. I'm not sure if it's because of the younger feel of the characters or the writing style that kept distracting me. I found it cute but I didn't love it.

I'm going to start by saying this was going to be a book that you either love or hate. Not much middle ground. I read 22 percent and I still have no clue wtf is going on. No plot, no excitement, it's like watching a boring sitcom with no laughter. I get it, this girl is different, and. Cade is the mystery man. Honestly though could we have something? This endless waiting for peanuts is driving me crazy. I wish the writer luck, it seems some did love this book, but it was boring for me.

I kinda liked it, but not enough for me to rush out and read the rest of the series. It did hit the fae spot for me, hence it being a 3 star and not 2 star read.

Hmmm. I don't even know what to say. If there was ever one long cliché that I read, it was this book. All the tropes and clichés inside it. So let's all agree I did not enjoy this novel. I can see twelve, thirteen year old girls getting a bit of a buzz out of it, but even the girl I was at that age would have rolled her eyes a bit. Still, the tropes and clichés aren't the worst part - some readers will ship certain tropes to exhaustion and read all the books because of said tropes, so I understand there's a market for them that's far bigger than I can imagine. And I could do with that part of the novel, honestly. I could deal with the absolutely tall, leggy, stunning teenager who actually finds herself ugly and who the 'in crowd' bully and humiliate. I could do with that very same girl, who is so awkward and so clumsy, and oh, did I mention, so awkward and shy and always says the wrong thing - but the moment she does, she KNOWS she put her foot in her mouth - being a special creature from another world with special powers that mean she can either save or destroy well, WORLDS! I could go with this IF the book was well-written enough. But unfortunately the characters are wooden, they are empty, one dimensional. There's no development and no way for me to connect to them, they all feel so unbelievable and contrived. Then there's all the telling and absolutely no showing, we are guided throughout the entire novel into what it is the characters experience, and we never get to EXPERIENCE what they do through. I couldn't care less hounds from hell ravaged Meghan to pieces, because, honestly, there was no emotion on the scenes where something did actually happen to the characters. It was simply an exposition of facts, detailed to the utmost but bearing feeling. And then there's the stage-directing. How every single gesture and action gets explained and told to the utmost detail. As if the reader cannot imagine it in their heads. Honestly, this book was not for me.

Book gotten in exchange of an honest review.
Thank you so much Jenna for sending me your book, I was so nice of you! But sorry my review isn’t going to be that good…
Ok, this book started out good, very good in fact. I liked Megan, and wanted to know more about her, about her story, her family and what would become of her. So I continued reading with enthusiasm.
Megan was adopted by an American family, after having been found as a toddler wandering in the streets of Los Angeles. Throughout her childhood, she saw things and heard voices, but now as a 17 year old, she know how not to make herself known. Yet, she always feels strange, and not like the others. Here comes Cade, who will tell her some new things about her…
Cade… what did you make of Meghan?
And when the Morrigan lures her into the underworld… Seriously ? How could she be so gullible? It was almost ridiculous! I felt like screaming at her for being so stupid in her actions. I mean we can see it coming!!
I also think the story has a lot of repetitions in it (her waking up in the morning, waiting for Cade, etc…). Some characters could also be a bit more introduced… There were many of them and sometimes, it feels like they were just mentioned without a point to it.
So a book which started out as good at first for me, ended as a big disappointment… I will probably not be reading the rest of Meghan stories.
2 out of 5, as I still read the entire book, and loved the first half!
Thank you anyway Jenna, for giving me a chance to read your book! It has potential, but it need some editing for it to be a really good book for me.

Spoiler
It was the story of how a strong girl becomes weak as soon as she falls in love! As soon as Cade comes into the story, Meghan turns into a ‘stupid’ girl in love every time she sees him… something that irritated me very much during my reading. I like strong character, and here she becomes quite weak….And when the Morrigan lures her into the underworld… Seriously ? How could she be so gullible? It was almost ridiculous! I felt like screaming at her for being so stupid in her actions. I mean we can see it coming!!
