Enemy of the fae, by India Drummond


 Caledonian Fae #3 

I have been waiting impatiently for this third adventure with the Fae and Druids in Scotland, and boy was it worth the wait!

I am always filled with a mix of excitement and dread when you get a new book in a series you have loved. Excited to meet up with old friends and ready to go on with them in their next adventure, and dread in case they are not the same or the next adventure is a let down. Don’t worry, it’s all good! Still fresh, still exciting, still new situations, surprises, excitement and disappointment when the book comes to an end and the wait for book 4 begins.

The book starts where book 3 leaves off and we find ourselves right in the middle of intrigue in the Faery realm, there are misleading situations to confuse you, there are all the thrills and escapades you have come to expect, and some surprising developments for the Druids in particular.

In fact this book is mainly about the druids, one way and another, we see Munro learning to live with his position, and yet evolve even more as he learns of the history of his race and the possible affect this might have on his queen and the fae. We have the other druids who are having a less pleasant time adjusting to their situation, on in particular who has become close to a young Fae, with heart-breaking  consequences, and yet another who was caught up in a terrifying situation.

There was plenty of action and intrigue, and yet again the book finishes on a note of aaarrrggghhh, as we have to wait for book 4 to learn the decision made and how this will affect them all.

I loved this book as much as I loved the rest of the series, highly recommended.
