Description from the publisher:

Alizon Bishop escaped Salem during the infamous witch trials. In Black Hollow, she found a haven, a family and peace. Her candy shop was her passion until one day it wasn't. A stranger turns up and her world is flipped upside down and he shows her there's more to life than chocolate.

Lucan O'Brien was half fairy and half-human. Though he wondered how much of him was really a fairy. After all, he couldn't fly, he was the size of a normal human and he possessed none of the traits of a fairy. He didn't fit in the fairy world or the human world.

Lucan arrives in Black Hollow a town where he could belong finally and finds a woman he could love. But someone is killing witches and Alizon has a target on her back. Did he finally find his home only to lose the woman who makes it worthwhile?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

FAIRLY SWEET is the tenth book in the multi-author Black Hollow series.  Each is a stand-alone in the Black Hollow world.

Action and adventure are added into this paranormal romance as Alizon and Lucan race a clock set into motion 500 years ago to end her life.

I’ve always been fascinated by the facts and myths surrounding the Salem witch trials.  Imagine if there was just one witch.  She got away, but bore the guilt of all of those souls for 500 years.  That’s Alizon’s guilt – directed at the woman in her mirror, instead of (rightly, IMHO) pointing the finger at a bunch of lazy, spoiled, and bored teenagers.

I love Alizon’s candy shop and her own cute description of it.  The story is as sweet as the title with the insta-attraction between Alizon and Lucan, yet nothing about their relationship felt overly-rushed.

Finally, I loved catching up with Ravenna and Derrick from Jennifer Wedmore’s other contribution to the series, ONE MAN’S CURSE.

The story is entertaining, romantic, and has a touch of suspense that kept me turning the pages long into the night.  The characters are engaging and enchanting. 

I believe there may be a magical spell woven into the words of the Black Hollow town description to keep the reader happily ensnared.  I know I want to return again and again.

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
