THIS BOOK WILL HAVE YOU ADDING VINES TO YOUR CART!
If you are a fan of Outlander and ACOTAR they basically both just had a baby. If you are a lover of Fae realms and Magic this will be your next Fav read! Slow burn & Spice & everything nice!
All Brynn Clementine wanted was to start over.
Escaping a toxic relationship, she leaves Australia behind and seeks solace in the clover green hills of Ireland. But a stumble through a Sidhe pool shatters everything she thought she knew about herself and the world.
She was never just human.
With the blood running through her veins connecting her to a dormant power tied to an ancient curse, Brynn is suddenly the center of a prophecy whispered through the courts for centuries. The Clove Moon is rising, Primal Raithes stir, and dangerous eyes are watching her every move.
Thrust into a world of ruthless Sidhe politics, forbidden longing, and haunting truths, Brynn must navigate the pull of a mysterious Sidhe who stirs something raw and wild inside her—something she thought long buried.
But destiny doesn’t wait, and love doesn’t come without sacrifice.
In a realm where desire is power and betrayal runs deep, will love be her salvation… or her ruin?

Grabbed me by the Celtic soul and dragged me straight in. This debut novel is simply stunning. I live in Australia so seeing some of the Australian nuances and subtleties in here made it even more entertaining. The only reason it didn’t get a full 5 stars from me is because I am Scottish with Irish heritage and so my kids and their friends names are all used as the main male characters in this book and that made the spicy scenes a little awkward 😂 I need book 2 like today!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – A blonde MMC I actually trust?? Sold.
If you told me I’d fall in love with a bleach-blond Sidhe warrior who flirts like a cheeky Irishman and banters like he’s auditioning for a rom-com, I’d have laughed. But Tate? Tate is that guy.
Call of the Sidhe by Aussie indie author Sommer-Lee Deaves is an absolute delight of a fantasy romance that blends Celtic fae lore, magical portals, spicy slow burns, and one of the most relatable modern heroines I’ve read in ages. Brynn is no fragile 21-year-old chosen one, she’s a fully grown Aussie woman who's survived a toxic relationship, fled her old life, and crash-landed into the fae realm with a duffel bag full of trauma, sass, and realistic priorities. (Seriously. She misses deodorant, Tim Tams, and sushi. Same, girl.)
The banter? ICONIC.
The emotional healing? Deeply felt.
The worldbuilding? Rooted in Celtic mythology and Sidhe courts, but never overwhelming.
The vibes? Somewhere between ACOTAR and Outlander, with a dash of 'WTF just happened?' Aussie humour thrown in for good measure.
Brynn’s journey is about more than just fae politics and mysterious powers, it's about rediscovering her strength, choosing herself, and slowly learning that maybe she can love again. The emotional moments land just as hard as the steamy ones, and watching her come into her power was so satisfying.
And let’s circle back to Tate.... our blond fae heartthrob. Charming, cheeky, protective without being a walking red flag, and the kind of male lead who makes you snort-laugh and swoon? We need more of him on our shelves.
This debut was funny, emotional, empowering, and sexy all in one. If you’ve ever dreamed of accidentally falling into a fae realm (and bringing your modern-day sarcasm with you), Call of the Sidhe should be your next read.
Sommer-Lee Deaves, you’ve created something special here and I cannot wait for the next book.

What do you get when you throw Irish folklore, Aussie slang, romantasy chaos, and a metric fuck-ton of magic into a blender?
👉 THIS. ABSOLUTE. BEAUTY.
This is Book 1 and I swear on my Irish bones, my ancestors were clapping, crying, and probably summoning something while I read it.
We start with some heavy, real shit — SA, abuse, garbage exes who deserve to step on Lego barefoot forever — and then BAM ✨ MAGIC PORTAL TIME ✨
Straight into another realm where the Summer Court is full of asshats, politics are messy, and enter the “insufferable man” himself…
Tate O’Malley.
Sexy. Annoying. Dreamy.
Can move sticks. Yes, that’s a thing. 🌿😏
This is Sommer’s debut novel and excuse me??? Because this book is a hidden gem that deserves to be screamed about from the rooftops. It’s binge-worthy, heart-pulling, rage-inducing, swoony, and before you know it you’re emotionally attached and absolutely feral.
You don’t just read this book — you experience it. You fall, fight, rage, heal, and survive right alongside the MCs.
SO yes. Go pick it up. You won’t regret it.
⚠️ BUT
There is a CLIFFHANGER.
And I am currently busting at the seams, vibrating with impatience, and foaming at the mouth for the epic conclusion of this duet.

I was blessed to read the ARC and I so throughly enjoyed every part of it. It really took you on your fantasy Celtic journey, with cute little Aussie Easter eggs. The story is very well written, and you’ll fall in love and hate characters in equal measure.
Definitely a spicy meatball. It was great!
Really looking forward to continuing reading the story in the next book.

Omg I LOVED this book! I was blessed to receive an early copy of Call of the Sidhe and was hooked from the first moment. Any book that starts with a witty female Australian main character who isn't 21 and fragile but actually has a rich history with real depth is an immediate winner. The combo of the FMC, Irish Fae MMC and their companions was so much fun. I really loved the magic system and Irish mythology! I've never read a slow-ish burn fantasy like this one, and I am gagging for the next instalment.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars – “I felt everything in this book”
Call of the Sidhe by Sommer-Lee Deaves absolutely hooked me from page one. There was no slow lead-in — the story grabbed me immediately and didn’t let go. The world-building and character development were so well done, I could see the scenes in my head, smell the forest, feel the tension. I was completely immersed.
Brynn’s journey from feeling lost to discovering her strength was deeply moving. It’s the kind of story that reminds you any woman, no matter how broken or unsure, can find her way back to herself — with the right people, the right world, and the right kind of magic.
Tate? Don’t get me started. The sass, the wit, the emotional pull — he’s the kind of character that makes you want to roll your eyes and kiss him at the same time. Irresistible. And yes, I fell hard for several characters by the end.
And Sommer-Lee… how dare you leave us with that cliffhanger?! It was brutal, brilliant, and now I’m desperate for the next book. Please write fast. Seriously.
If you love romantasy, Celtic mythology, strong female leads, and rich, emotional storytelling — Call of the Sidhe needs to be on your shelf.

Omgosh, where to begin???? What a debut!
There’s yearning. There’s danger. There’s the bath scene that had me screaming at the page for more AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE VINE SCENE.
And just when your heart’s about to combust, Brynn says something like “fuckity fuck fuck” or “risk it for the biscuit” hahah
Sommer has nailed that rare blend of lyrical prose, Celtic myth, romance, and sarcastic humour that only an Aussie could pull off. The result is something enchanting and hilariously relatable.
I can’t wait for Book 2!

Did I just become a book girl?
I don’t read often, but The Call of the Side had me locked in. It’s spicy, chaotic, and completely unputdownable. The tension? Chef’s kiss. The drama? Elite. If you’re after something fun, addictive, and a little bit wild..this is it!

I got the privilege to read the ARC! Great first debut from this author and I'm extremely excited for book 2, I must have it now!!!!

Loved this book! I’m not a fan of books like this but this one pulled me in and I was done in less than 24 hours! Left me wanting more. 🤩🤩
December 30, 2025
I absolutely LOVED this one.
The tension, the banter as an Aussie I frothed over seeing our lingo intertwined within the monologue and the dialogue.
I need book 2, like yesterday.

AMAZING! I finished this book very fast. Such a page turner and I didn’t want to put it down. The MMC is so loveable and is a new book boyfriend! Love the work from a great Aussie author. 5 ⭐️ 3 🌶️
September 11, 2025
So I first read this book because I know Sommer from our other careers. That was my motivation, to support a friend with zero expectation.
BOY OH BOY. I loved it.
Great story, fresh characters, good balance of spice, and I particularly loved the little hints of Australian culture in there - they were brilliant and so relatable.
Looking forward to the next one!

If you HATE reading 📚 (like i do)
This is the book for you. It's so easy to follow and found myself being able to be lost in an interesting and exciting novel. Very well written 👏

Grá mo chroí... and now this book owns mine.
What happens when an Australian woman, scarred by love and longing for peace, steps through a Sidhe pool into a realm of ancient power, prophecy, and primal desire? You get Call of the Sidhe, and you won’t be the same after reading it.
Brynn Clementine is one of the most relatable and resilient heroines I’ve read in a long time. She’s curvy, stubborn, deeply human, and unknowingly heir to a kingdom soaked in seasonal magic, dangerous secrets, and ancient bloodlines. The way she stumbles into her power felt raw and real, and watching her try to piece herself together in a world that doesn’t play fair? Unforgettable.
And then there’s Tate. Autumn Court Prince. Freckled, dimpled, tattooed, and utterly undone by Brynn from the moment he lays eyes on her. Their chemistry is a wildfire. Forbidden, slow-burn, wrapped in vines, literally and emotionally. He falls first, he falls hard, and gods, he suffers for it. The spice is there, but it’s the ache that lingers.
Sommer-Lee Deaves has crafted a Fae realm that feels lived-in, with a mythology that’s lush, gritty, and unapologetically Irish. The lore. The prophecy. The vine-wrapped tension. The humour (yes, even leprechauns and drop bears make a cameo). The way Brynn says, “Tatum f'ing O’Malley” like a battle cry? I felt that in my soul.
The final chapter ripped me open. I cried. I raged. And now I’m haunting the shadows waiting for Book 2.
Tropes you’ll devour:
* He falls first
* Forced proximity
* Forbidden love
* Found family
* "F it" moments that make your heart race
* Magic-meets-modern with teeth
If ACOTAR and Outlander had a spicy, politically-charged baby raised by Irish fae... this would be it. Absolutely a five-star read. I’d bind myself to the Autumn Court without hesitation...if we could kick Tate's brother off into another realm.

4.5 Stars - CELTIC INSPIRED ROMANTASY WITH AN AUSSIE TWIST?! OBSESSED.
Grabbed me immediately and dragged in my - the hook. I truly was super impressed as this is a debut novel and it's SO SO GOOD.
The journey we see our FMC Brynn go on throughout this feels so real, something we can relate to. The character felt so relatable and real. Discovering her inner strength and working through her trauma, so inspiring. It reminds us as women our inner strength to overcome, and there are good men out there so so valid. (even if he is a sidhe hehe).
TATE. The tension, the slow burn, was sooooo good. I sat there hoping the F it moment would come, AND WHEN IT DID.... oh my.
AND the cliffhanger, oh my. I cannot cope, I need to know what happens SOS.
MY FAV QUOTES
"Through mist-cloaked vales and restless tides, where whispered myths in shadows hide. "
"This is better than a dream, I'm losing my marbles."
"An image of birthing thousands of tadpoles infused in her mind. Terrifying. "
"This was stuff of nightmares. Worse than Freddy Kruger, this creature was vulger. "
"Sidhe don't hurt their women. We worship them"
"Vicious Bon"
"Maybe she needed to introduce them to the good old G banger"
"This is literally a real-life smut book."
"FU*K it."
"Y0u stupid F*&cking green-dicked leprechaun, let me go."
"This is intimidating as f*&k. Scarier than a magpie in breeding season"

Warning: Do not start this book if you have deadlines, responsibilities, or plans to sleep. It will consume you. And when you hit that cliffhanger? You’ll be feral for book two.
If Outlander and ACOTAR had a lovechild raised in the wild magic of Irish folklore, Clove Moon Rising would be it. This debut novel delivers everything fantasy lovers crave: lush worldbuilding, Sidhe politics, primal magic, forbidden romance, and a heroine you’ll root for with your whole heart.
Brynn Clementine is not your average FMC. Escaping a toxic past, she seeks peace in Ireland’s green hills—only to tumble into a Sidhe pool and awaken a power tied to an ancient curse. Suddenly, she’s the center of a prophecy, hunted, desired, and dangerously powerful. Her journey of self-discovery is raw and relatable, especially for readers who’ve faced trauma and clawed their way back to strength.
Themes that hit hard:
• Healing from emotional wounds
• Reclaiming power and identity
• The cost of love in a world built on betrayal
• The beauty of finding someone who sees your strength—even when you don’t
Final Verdict:
A spellbinding debut that blends myth, magic, and emotional grit. If you love fae realms, slow-burn romance, and heroines who rise from the ashes, this will be your next obsession. Just don’t expect to get anything done until you’ve devoured every last page.

Call of the Sidhe by Sommer-Lee Deaves drew me right into Brynn Clementine’s world. A modern Aussie woman escaping her past and finding herself caught up in the mystical Irish fae world? Yes, please! 🇦🇺🍀
I loved how Brynn’s Australian personality shone through, from her sarcasm to her Tim Tam coffee rituals ☕🍫. The nods to Aussie culture were such a fun touch against the lush Celtic backdrop. The world-building of The Isle of Clove was beautifully detailed. I loved the Irish heritage woven through it, and the different races of folk were fascinating. I’ll honestly never think of Leprechauns the same way again!
The Clove Moon ceremonies were very spicy 🌶️, and the slow-burn tension between Brynn and Tate was just perfect. The emotional build-up felt so genuine you just needed them to be together, despite all the issues keeping them apart.
If I had one small gripe, it’s that the word “insufferable” was used a few too many times, and we definitely get that Brynn misses her coffee and chocolate 😅. But honestly, it didn’t take away from how immersive and entertaining the story was.
A rich mix of Aussie humour, Irish magic, and fae intrigue - this book has it all. I can’t wait to see what happens next in the series! 💚

This book had me right from the first page! Brynn is rediscovering who she is after dimming her light for so long. She takes herself as far as she possibly can from her old life to start again and woah boy does she find a life thats different from the one she left!! There are smoking hot and insufferable men, who may not be so insufferable after all. Villains, Heroes, Royalty, Adventure! Did I mention the Irish accents and magical elements? Not sure yet? This debut novel manages to discreetly include the Nut Bush AND the Heel and Toe Polka into her narrative. Amazing book, I put it down with 5% to go on the Kindle as I wasnt ready to leave their world just yet and waited until the next day to finish.
Looking forward to the next instalment! This series is going to be amazing!

Call of the Sidhe by Sommer-Lee Deaves had no business being this good.
Come for the fae lore and moody atmosphere, stay because the romance grabs you by the feelings and does not let go.
The chemistry? Intense. The tension? Rude. The steamy scenes? Absolutely understood the assignment.
The story is rich, emotional, and magical, but let’s talk about the permanent damage this book caused.. I now melt into a puddle every single time I see vine leaves. Just instantly undone. If you love fae romance with angst, magic, and a generous serving of heat, congratulations, this book will ruin you (in the best way).

Wow just wow, this book had me blown away. Thankyou to Martin (TikTok's Bookmarked Tuesdays) for recommending. I was drawn into a Fantasy world of Kings and Queens of Seasonal Courts, Royal Bloodlines and Clove traditions.
Brynn the FMC I totally admired and was the new Alice entering a different "Wonderland" after she fell into a rock pool.
Tate O'Malley, MMC, had me wanting to book a flight to Ireland to find a rock pool to jump into to find him.
I eagerly await for book 2 and highly recommend. A must read.

I was lucky to get an ARC copy of this book and it was an amazing read! You are hooked from the beginning and every chapter keeps you engaged because there is always something exciting going on. There are life and death stakes, sizzling sexual tension, Celtic folklore, magic and mystery in this book! The chemistry between Brynn and Tate is off the charts. I highly recommend this spicy romantasy!

I am not much of a romantasy girl and this has me hooked! I did not want to put it down. I loved everything from the Aussie slang to the protective MMC. It was great. Such an easy read and so easy to follow along! Would highly recommend

“Insufferable” is used 43 times. Several times it was used twice on the one page. It kept ripping me out of the book because once I noticed it, I couldn’t stop getting annoyed by it.
Once it got good, the word popped up again. Other than that, it’s a very interesting Fae-style romance. Easy to follow, lots of action, a little bit of spice. Well rounded book.

Sommer, what an incredible debut! You’re such a beautiful writer—the worldbuilding was stunning, and every character had such distinct personalities. I absolutely adore Brynn as an FMC—she’s so sassy! The Aussie touches were such a fun surprise. And Tate… Mr. Yearny McYearnpants himself—ugh, I’m such a sucker for a blond MMC and a good “fuck it” moment. 💛🔥
Book 2 now please 🙏🏼

As someone who doesn’t usually read, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Call of the Sidhe by Sommer Deaves. The story pulled me in from the start with its unique blend of mythology and emotion. It was easy to follow, yet rich in atmosphere. Highly recommend—even for non-readers like me!

I was pleasantly surprised to read a fantasy book that suited a lady of my years. I’m 57.
I loved how modern day met the Fae.
I was either laughing or blushing.
Very well written and I’m looking forward to the next one.

Such an awesome debut novel! Was hooked from the beginning. Had great character building and was so easy to follow. Every chapter left you wanting a little bit more which resulted in me reading it all in a day! I need the next book ASAP to see where the rest of the story goes. Highly recommend!

If you’re a lover of steamy faery fiction this book is for you! Right from the prologue we are drawn into the world of the Isle of Clove with a mix of magic, sexual angst, and modern world elements along with a discovery of roots tale. Thoroughly enjoyed this instalment in the adventure.
