Changeling (The Dark Fae Series Book 1)

Faery Tales (The Dark Fae Series Book 2)

By McKenzie Rae

Book 2 was just released last week. I sat down this morning to read and as of this evening I am about 200 pages in. It really sucked me in.

Disclaimer. I am the father of the author. But when she was younger I would read something she wrote and if she asked for my reaction I was honest. I would say, it is really good for a 14 year old. That would drive her crazy. But I would tell her I will always give you my honest reaction.

When she was picked up by a publisher in her early 20s, she was kind of bashful about me reading her work. It was so gratifying to be able to walk in about 2/3 of the way through that first published novel and tell her that even though it wasn't my preferred genre I had started to care about the characters and the plot and I had to finish.

I feel like each book has gotten better. This latest book captured my attention within the first few pages and I spent way more time reading it today than I originally intended.

Sorry if anyone is offended at me promoting my daughter's work.
