 Enjoyable fast paced read about Faelyn, a weaver witch who is lonely in the world, the moon spirit who has been abused for a millenia, and a wolf with a complicated past. 

 Imagine if how to lose a guy in 10 days was a fantasy where he is a witch hunter and she is a witch vigilante. High stakes and full of forbidden love, this book was a fast paced read with an interesting world.

Set on an island ruled by witches, a revolution happened 2 years prior and all witches and witch sympathizers were arrested and killed. Witches is this world could only cast using blood and the fresher it was the more powerful spells could be done. The most powerful being those spells done with blood not freely given and that usually ended in death and the corruption of the soul.

The dual POV really made this book worth reading because you have two completely different world views and learn what happened to shape those opinions and make them very understandable.

Still kind of upset with the ending, and cannot wait for it to be wrapped up in book 2. 

The Gods Time Forgot is a novel set in the late 19th century New York where old money and new money collide. Emma is a girl of marriagable age with a crazy mother and no memory of her life before crawling out of a hellmouth in the countryside. Unfortunately, part of that memory loss is the fact that she isn't Emma, she is Rua, who looks almost exactly like Emma but is a different person stuck living Emmas's life. Enter Finn, a young Lord trying to build up his business so that he can help the less fortunate. Finn is supposed to be courting the perfectly respectable Annette, but can't help but be drawn to Rua.

Include some mysterious worshipping of the Morrigan and hints at old Irish Lore and we are left trying to figure out just who and what Finn and Rua are to themselves and to each other.

full of mutual pining and longing, definitely a good read
