The Hidden Druid: The Innisfail Cycle Book Two

by Angela Laverghetta

Hello again. Imogen Wylde here. Three months ago, my life was normal. Well, as normal as someone who can see the fae and ghosts can make it.

That all changed when Aengus—don’t call him Lancelot, he gets snippy—showed up at the museum where I work and stole Excalibur. Things only got weirder from there. Now I can wield magic—very badly—and it’s only a matter of time before The Leannan Sidhe shows up again to take the nearly uncontrollable power within me.

Maybe with the help of a fashionista Brownie, a coven of geriatric witches, and a living topiary—who happens to be my dad—I might be able to stop her and save the world.

That is if I can find an assistant to do the retirement home account books in time!

An excellent conclusion to this series. What more could you want than fae, Arthurian legend, sarcastic humor, and badass women?

This was a very satisfactory ending to The Innisfail Cycle. There were a few surprises along the way, which kept the story intriguing.

The main character, Imogen (Genny) Wylde, remained true to character. Her character developed throughout the story, but was not turned into an overnight heroic champion, as some of the current fantasy stories tend toward. She fumbled, made errors, and required help from the other characters.

The fae and other fantastical beings felt as though they could exist, and were well-developed. I never felt lost as to who was who, which was very refreshing. Even though, I had to take long breaks between reading, I never had an issue identifying each character and keeping track of where I was in the book.

I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys fantasy, with a touch of romance, and a bit of Irish and Arthurian legends thrown in.

I loved reading these two books. They were light, there was humor and fascinating characters. I enjoyed the world she created. There was family and found family. There were witches, werewolves, and a woman coming into her power. Oh yes, there was romance too! I believe this debut author has a gift of storytelling and I hope she continues writing for a long time. I, for one, will be here waiting for her books.

Laverghetta has crafted a unique perspective of King Arthur and Lancelot.
