The Celtic Vampyre Saga #4
Remembrance: Book Four
Remembrance: Book Four (The Celtic Vampyre Saga)
260 pages (print length)
Upon learning that Martha has commandeered the body of his new love, Faelynn, a frantic and puzzled Nathaniel seeks the help of a powerful clairvoyant, Elisabetta Orzic. Elisabetta pushes her supernatural abilities to their limits only to learn that Goddess Toleka has no plans of letting anyone undo her handiwork without suffering harsh ramifications. Even though Elisabetta is unable to disentangle the knot of chaos that Goddess Toleka has weaved, she uncovers the truth about Faelynn. The knowledge that Faelynn is not what Nathaniel thinks she is rocks him to his core. To make matters worse, Nathaniel gets a surprise visit from Cormack, who only hours previously survived an assassination attempt in the bowels of his own castle at the hands of Faelynn. He comes to Nathaniel not as an agent of vengeance, but as a diplomat—a diplomat with an olive branch in one hand and a blood-soaked shillelagh in the other. Cormack is also aware of what Goddess Toleka has done, and wants Martha to be placed back into her body before it’s too late. Ironically, for the first time in both the vampyres’ lives, time is not on their side. Will Nathaniel play ball and agree to put their differences aside for one night and work with his brother to find a solution? Or will Nathaniel trust his instincts and refuse Cormack’s help since he has burned him—figuratively and literally—not once, not twice, but umpteen times in the past.
This intriguing and passionate saga would be attractive to the habitual readers of Gothic literary works, paranormal romance, and horror.
*Warning: Some scenes within Remembrance: Book Four (The Celtic Vampyre Saga) contain graphic language and explicit violence.*
Reviews:
“Remembrance: Book Four is a moody piece that takes you deeper beneath the surface of The Celtic Vampyre Saga. It’s a fascinating character study, yet at the same time the overall story progresses nicely with satisfying payoffs throughout. I can tell that there’s still a lot more to come from the heroes and villains in this series.” – Veronica Salva, New Hampshire Gothic Horror Review.
“C.K. Farrell’s writing has a tendency to swerve towards darkness at any given moment and I LOVE it for that reason.” – D’arcy Ondine, Artist, Poet, and Author.

Imaginative
I like the language and it's a page turner. As each book ends you want to go to the next

Captivating
The saga is moving with full force now. Every book gets more and more intriguing. I will admit that I have no idea where we are headed but I can't wait to find out.

I’m not very good at reviewing books, but since I enjoyed this one so much I’ll try :)
For some reason this book felt kinda short, not sure if it’s my imagination or not
I ended up learning a few new words, which is a usual occurrence whenever I read a book from this series, so where to begin…..
I DID NOT LIKE:
what Faelynn’s mom did in the beginning of the book, I understand why she did it but it still felt wrong
What happened with elisabetta, that was uncalled for, that bastard Cormack really needs to die
What happened to the bar maid, again, Cormack NEEDS to die
I’m a bit miffed that we didn’t get to see Faelynn’s POV this time
WHAT I DID LIKE:
The explanation on why Faelynn can switch bodies
The injury she inflicted on Cormack (atta girl!!)
How Nathaniel dealt with those fools who tried to rob him (LOL)
Also liked the time hop into the past, being able to steal a further look into nathaniel’s and martha’s old relationship, sick and gruesome as it was, a little part of me sorta hopes they’ll get back together (probably wont happen though)
The violence depicted in this book was something out of a horror movie, and described in bursting detail much to my delight and revulsion.
But overall I enjoyed this story and i’m looking forward to reading more from Mr. Farrell

I thoroughly enjoy reading anything by this author. Mr. Farrell is highly descriptive in his writing and paints vivid pictures for the reader. His use of the English language has me learning new words consistently, which I like. He does not water down his writing.
At first I was a little disappointed in the story line as I was expecting more interaction with Nathaniel and Faelynn or at least a resolution to the dilemma that ended Book 3 in this series.
However, the Book is titled Remembrance, and that is what it delivers. The current story line moves ahead while taking a look back into the past between Nathaniel and Martha. The development of Farrell's characters is outstanding. I enjoyed learning more about Nathaniel's past and how it has shaped who he is. Martha, who I have never really liked, I almost start to feel a little sorry for by the end of this book, almost.
Just when I think I can predict what is to come (as is the case in so many stories this days) Farrell delivers something completely unexpected. I am eagerly awaiting the release of Covenant, Book 5 in this series.

Book four did not disappoint! Once again I was thrilled to read this series. Moves along at a cracking pace excellently written characters arereally dark and some really black humour that made me laugh on more than one occasion.The fantasy world of the book all have mesmerized me and delivered a story that truly builds up suspense with every page. The violence in this book was something out of a horror film and described in so much detail that might not be for the weak hearted. The characters are easy to relate to and a joy to read. The story moves ahead a bit while taking a look back into the past story of Nathaniel and Martha. We get to learn more about Nathaniel's past and how it made him who he is today. You also start to feel sorry for Martha but not to much LoL. All in all it was great read and I look forword to reading more from this Saga.in the future.

Cormack is a vile creature. How anyone tolerates his rampages is beyond me. Nathaniel should put everyone out of their misery by killing his half brother. His end game has me wondering what will come of Sessimah, Martha, Nathaniel, and most definitely Faelynn.

I loved this book! I hadn't realized that it was unfinished though. With that, I hungrily anticipate the next book! Wonderful story so far!
