What an incredible read. Drop any expectations that you have for books containing faeries and romance. I wasn’t really sure what to expect at first but was pleasantly surprised.

Can anyone remember love? It's like trying to summon up the smell of roses in a cellar. You might see a rose, but never the perfume.” Moria Jean and her friends decide to gather around a campfire in the woods after a long days work. A bottle of whisky, and some conversation later they decide to dance… and the Fae join them. This book is about Moira Jean who is about 19 and lives in a little village close to Invarness, by Aberdeen road. Her friends plough the earth and help everyone left to survive. Her mom is the only doctor. It seems like the story is happening around early 1900s with the war and flu. They are all barely making it.When not writing, she can be found learning languages, cooking with more enthusiasm than skill, wandering off into clearly haunted houses and making friends with stray cats. This is a lush and dark fantasy. Darker than I was expecting, especially with Moira Jean and the loss she is clearly still grieving. The Fae are also darker than you would read for example in ACoTaR. And so I would definitely term this as a lush gothic fantasy.
