At a Glance

Okay so this is more epic fantasy than straight romantasy, but the slow-burn thread between Tess and Finnead is SO good when it shows up. The Celtic mythology is rich, the Unseelie Court is gorgeously built, and Tess goes from clumsy chemistry major to someone who can hold her own in the fae realm. Just be ready - Finnead is not on page nearly enough and it WILL frustrate you.
