REVIEW:
Ok the third book in the series and to be honest, not having read the others I was more than a little apprehensive about starting, after all I’d miss out some of the in series references alongside getting to judge how the characters had grown over the series.
That said however I soon found myself eagerly drawn into this inventive world by Carol. I loved the way she brought the historical time period to life, added her own touch of mysticism and then blended it altogether with a cracking lead character that I could not only associate with but one that I wanted to achieve her own goals. Its wonderfully written, almost cinematic in its own right and to be honest if the first two are this good, I’m really going to have to go back and make the time to sit down with them.
All round great fun and a book that I was more than pleased I read especially when you get to see some wonderful turns of phrase from an author who clearly loves what she’s doing. Great stuff.

URBAN FANTASY ROMANCE REVIEW: Fairwick Chronicles 1: Incubus - Carol Goodman
Release Date: 21/07/11
SYNOPSIS:
'This is where all stories start, on the edge of a dark wood...'
Ever since moving to Fairwick to take up a teaching post at the local college, Callie has been having vivid, erotic dreams about a man made out of moonlight and shadows. Dreams she begins to fear as well as anticipate...
She learns that her home – a Victorian cottage at the edge of a wood she bought on a whim – is supposedly haunted. And then her new – and rather strange – colleagues tell her a local legend about an incubus demon with a human past who was enchanted by a fairy queen...
REVIEW:
Having read Carol’s writing in the series she cowrites with husband Lee Slonimsky entitled Black Swan Trilogy, I was interested to see what she would come up with in a tale all of her own. It’s cleverly done and if you love Urban Fantasy Romance this title will give you all of that alongside a story of mystery, longing and discovery within this books pages. Add to this some twists as well as some neatly concealed sleight of hand and overall it’s a satisfactory title.
I look forward to seeing what else may arise from this series published by Ebury and will continue to enjoy this authors work for quite some time.
