Enter a hidden world of magic, mystery, danger and romance in this YA fantasy from Amazon bestselling author, Rachel Morgan...
A faerie girl.
A human boy.
A magical world.
A dangerous plot.
Protecting humans from dangerous magical creatures is all in a day’s work for a faerie training to be a guardian. Seventeen-year-old Violet Fairdale knows this better than anyone—she’s about to become the best guardian the Guild has seen in years. That is, until a cute human boy who can somehow see through her faerie glamor follows her into the Fae realm. Now she’s broken Guild Law, a crime that could lead to her expulsion.
The last thing Vi wants to do is spend any more time with the boy who got her into this mess, but the Guild requires that she return Nate to his home and make him forget everything he’s discovered of the Fae realm. Easy, right? Not when you factor in evil faeries, long-lost family members, and inconvenient feelings of the romantic kind. Vi is about to find herself tangled up in a dangerous plot—and it’ll take all her training to get out alive.
This novel was originally published in four separate parts: Guardian, Labyrinth, Traitor and Masquerade. It includes bonus scenes at the end that were not published in the individual parts.

REVIEW
This book was enchanting, exciting and kicked ass!
Vi was brilliant. I love strong female protagonists and she took it to a whole new level. Her determination may have landed her in hot water on more than one occasion, but it was that determination that saw her unravel a master plot by some particularly vile creatures. Although the final end to their evil plans is still to be uncovered, Zell and his minions were definitely up to no good, and I'm excited to see where that will lead.
This story was action-packed from start to finish, with a great sense of mystery surrounding Nate. It was also romantic, with a bit of forbidden love thrown into the mix. There were quite a few twists and turns, and some very heartbreaking surprises, which kept me enthralled. My heart went out to Vi when she was betrayed by the one person she actually felt something for, but I was also happy that she was able to gain back a bit of the friendship she had lost so many years before.
Morgan's world building and descriptive prose brought this book to life and I felt like I was actually stepping into Creepy Hollow, walking alongside the characters as this story played like a movie in my head. It was a spectacular read and I cannot wait to continue with this series.
