Excellent book. I walked into the library to pick up copy of Bookpage when the 3rd volume of this Fairwick Chronicles caught my eye on the new fiction shelft. I had already packed 4 or 5 books to read on coming vacation, but just couldn't resist. Went to card catalogue, looked up author and found 1st 2 volumes of series. Took them off the shelf and checked them out. Read the both of them in 2 wks. Loved them. (Thank goodness for technology...I could renew by computer.) I felt it took a few pages to set the stage, but with each page I was pulled deeper and deeper into the woods, that became an integral character, in the world of Dr. McFay, author of books on the sex lives of demon lovers and surrounded Honeysuckle House....her soon to be new home. Who could resist, sex lives of demon lovers...who knew. I sped through the incredible pages of a fantasy, yet believable setting of a university town that includes faeries, witches and all other type of fantasy character as they work to reside compatibly and save the area from being shuttered by a strong coven of witches, led by Dr. McFay's grandmother. Oh, this leads into the setting of the 2nd volume of the Fairwick Chronicles "Water Witch", a continuation of the fascinating world of Dr. McFay and how she continues to learn about herself, her powers and what her parents really were.A great lead into Nora Robert's The Dark Witch, which I will finish shortly.
Demon Lover sounds like quite the salacious book, however it's not exactly that. Callie McFay is a professor of Gothic literature who takes a position at a small college in New York. While there, she discovers the world of the fey, and also that she is part witch and part fairy. Of course life can't be that simple, something is draining the students and staff of their energy, and Callie becomes involved another professor. I enjoyed this novel immensely. If you like Deborah Harkness, this book might be for you.
A compulsive page turner.
