Children of the Sidhe #2
Vessel
VESSEL (CHILDREN OF THE SIDHE, NOVELLA TWO)
Vessel is paranormal romance with kick; a bad-ass witch meets her match in a fae enforcer. Vessel is the second novella in the Children of the Sidhe series.
Eddie Drake, notorious agent of the Sidhe Authority, has always been a womanizer. So he’s as surprised as anyone when he can’t get a certain black-haired witch out of his mind.
When Alise Rodgers wakes up in Otherworld, a mysterious connection to the place haunts her. And then there’s a more immediate concern – she would never have expected to find Drake sitting vigil for her. While she’s grateful, she’s not at all interested in his bedroom eyes. They’ve always clashed. But they must work together after Alise discovers a rebellious plot brewing among the Sidhe, and puts her life on the line in the bargain.
CHILDREN OF THE SIDHE
The Sidhe dwindle. Slow to breed and quick to war, the ages have worn away their numbers. An old enemy threatens Otherworld, fearsome in numbers and in newfound magics. The Sidhe’s unloved part-human children strewn about the mortal world are suddenly their greatest source of hope.

This is the second book in Children of the Sidhe series. As the first book in the series the author brings another hot romance with a great story for a short novella. This book takes you a bit deeper into the Sidhe story so you get a bit more feel of what’s going on with the characters and story. I hope one day she can write a full length novel for one of her hot Sidhe’s.
For a novella I felt the heat and connection I needed between the hero and heroine. At first I got the impression that Eddie is a womanizer, but I fell for him quick because he’s nothing like what he seems and that’s what I like most. Alise, I loved right off the bat, she’s witty and strong. I really liked the addition of The Morrigan being added to the storyline, it brought more magic and action into the story.
This is a novella so I recommend this to readers that love a quick romantic magical story.

Vessel is the second book in the Children of the Sidhe series. (See review of book #1, Tribute.) And, as much as I loved and enjoyed book 1 I have to say Vessel was even better. The characters and world richer and more engaging (which is saying something considering how well she did originally, lol).
In this instalment of the Children stories, we find Alise, self-sufficent witch, being drawn into both the war between factions of the Sidhe and into the arms of Eddie, the womanizing half-sidhe.
The love story is slightly less complicated but just as fulfilling and the intrigue is way more! Well, any time you get the ancient Goddess Morrigan’s attention I’d have to say it counts as more. The story is perfect for this size, novella, and yet still manages to leave you wanting the next book even before you set this one down.
I normally have more to say but I don’t want to reveal too much so let’s just go with: Great story and wonderful characters. I’d recommend for anyone that loves paranormal, fantasy, romance, or any combo there of.
