Friday Finds - War of the Fae

FRIDAY FINDS… is where you share the book titles you discovered or heard about during the past week. These can be books you were told about, books you discovered while browsing blogs/bookstores online, or books that you actually purchased.

I found THESE this week when I was browsing .
A 4-book Young Adult Fantasy Series

Thanks to Booknerd for recommending The War of the Fae series by Elle Casey. What she said really caught my attention:
"this is by far the funniest I've ever read. You may actually pee your pants laughing (not that I would know anything about that lol)! I was so intertwined in the story, that I read all four books in 24 hours. The story follows Jayne (a self-professed bad ass) and a cast of hot guys, on their path to self discovery in the Fae life.
And Spike could work his powers on me any day :P!"

I am eager to read it now. You'd never guess it was funny by judging the book by it's cover right? Everyone seems to love it so I hope I do too. You can get The Changelings for free on Amazon Kindle . Here is an excerpt from Goodreads

War of the Fae#1 The Changelings
Genre: YA Contemporary Fantasy series, written for older teens and adults.

Jayne Sparks, a potty-mouthed, rebellious seventeen-year-old and her best friend, shy and bookish Tony Green, have a pretty typical high school existence, until several seemingly unrelated incidents converge, causing a cascade of events that change their lives forever. Jayne and Tony, together with a group of runaway teens, are hijacked and sent into a forest, where nothing and no one are as they seem. Who will emerge triumphant? And what will they be when they do?     **No sex or drugs. Yes, contains some violence and foul language - some might say excessive foul language. Not meant for middle-grade readers (less than 15 years of age).**

 Q: Book Vacay: Where is the best destination reading spot for you? (Where do you like to go to read other then your home)

A: If I find myself reading on vacation I suppose it would be in a most comfortable place I can find. I can see me in a big soft cushioned chair with my feet up and my favorite drink or coffee next to me . I can't read where there is a lot of noise.

TQOTD- Which book made you cry?

TQOTD is a meme hosted @ goodchoicereading

Which book or passage made you genuinely cry while reading it?

I genuinely cry if a movie is sad for some reason or another. Like in the Bollywood movie My Name is Khan. Great movie! I figure it's just a normal thing to do.

So when something sad happens to my favourite character I am touched to tears. It could be from an Urban Fantasy novel or Paranormal romance, or a crime detective novel. It does not matter. I like Atticus A LOT. I'd been reading The Iron Druid Chronicles for sometime, and in Hunted I cried :(

*Warning* Spoilers

It was soooo sad :( I had a good cry. Reading through the pages, after Atticus dies, Oberon's tail would never wag again. Granuaile and Oberon had to leave Atticus behind without a proper burial because the goddesses of the hunt, Artemis and Diana, were chasing them. Oberon refused to leave Atticus' side but when Granuaile called up the element, Atticus was buried in the dirt. *sob
 OMG! it broke my heart just thinking about Oberon and Granuaile losing him.

"Is he dead?" Oberon asked. A small black hole. No vital signs. That should have done it, but it was having to answer Oberon, saying it aloud, that broke me.
"Yes," I cried, my voice quavering. "He's gone. I can't do anything." And then we both howled............
For what else was there to do? CPR wouldn't help with a head wound. I couldn't make his heart beat if his brain wasn't fucking there. Druidry only gave me the power to heal, not resurrect. He'd died before he finished falling. - Chapter 10 pages 78,79 Hunted by Kevin Hearne

An Iron Druid Novella #4.5

Two Ravens and One Crow by Kevin Hearne

Six years into the training of his beautiful apprentice, Granuaile, a large crow swoops down and transforms into none other than the Morrigan, a goddess who insists that Atticus come with her at once. He must leave his apprentice behind, along with his Irish wolfhound, Oberon—and he must also leave his sword. The Morrigan has always taken extreme pleasure in pronouncing the Druid’s mortal danger and imminent doom, so the fact that she won’t reveal the purpose of their journey makes him very nervous. Of course, any time the Celtic Chooser of the Slain drops in unannounced, it’s never good. When she does let slip that she’ll be saving his life in the near future, Atticus is left to wonder . . . will he soon be giving his legions of enemies something to crow about?

Odin wants nothing more for Atticus to pay for killing one of his pet ravens in the fight against Thor, but instead of exacting punishment, he proposes that Atticus take the place of Thor in Ragnarok in the battle with Hel, assuming he will be destroyed then.

My rating: Liked it!
