The Changeling Chronicles #6
Faerie Hunt
I'm Ivy Lane, and lately, my life has been suspiciously free of faerie-related drama. But there's a storm coming.
Now, the lords of Faerie know I have their magic. What they don't know is that I killed a powerful faerie, and might just have doomed both our worlds in the process. With hellhounds camping out in my garden and a dark uprising amongst the half-faeries, something bad is on the move in Faerie.
The evil that rose to destroy our world twenty years ago is back. After all, in the place where the faerie realm meets the spirit world, nothing truly dies...

I received a free copy from the author and voluntarily reviewed it.
This has been a solid urban fantasy series so far and this book was no different. Ivy and Vance are just back from their vacation when they land right into another issue that requires their attention. The start of this one felt a bit slow, but once they start finding clues and coming closer to finding out what's going the pace seemed to pick up and I got more into the story. The further you get the better the book gets. The ending was really good and makes me curious to read the seventh and final book in this series to see how everything will be resolved.
It's again filled with action, battles, nasty fairies and the faerie realms. Ivy and Vance are a good couple and I like how they fight together to solve whatever is threatening their realm now. Really it's hard to say a lot about this book that I haven't said already. It's an enjoyable series that has kept my attention so far and each book has it's own plot line, but there are also some connections or things that build-up from the previous books. In this book that effect was the strongest as there are multiple references to things that happened before and how those events impact what happens now.
And this book leads up to what might be their biggest problem so far and when the book ends we're halfway through basically. Ivy knows what's going on and things are pretty bad and the last book will tell how everything gets resolved. Compared to the other books this ending would almost be called a cliffhanger as it doesn't have as clear an ending as the previous books. But I thought it really worked here and the way things end just makes me curious for the last book and I hope I can read that one soon.
I felt like this book shed some light on previous addressed things and we come closer to understanding exactly what Ivy and her magic is capable of and what started the invasion. Each book gives us a few hints but here it starts to all tie together. Even the previous big bad guys of each book seem connected now. And the ending hints that we're going to see a part of Faerie and the faeries we haven't seen so far in the next book, so that should be interesting.
To summarize: this was a great read! I enjoyed this series so far and this book is just as good as the previous ones. The start was a tad slow and it didn't keep my attention as much, but the further I got the better it got. It's filled with action, magic and paranormal stuff. I like how this book set the stage for book 7. It also sheds some light on some big things that have been going on so far and I feel like this book ties some things that happened so far together. The ending was well done and with how things are left hanging I am curious to see how the last book will wrap things up.

Exciting
A big cliffhanger but so exciting. Everything is coming full circle with the threat of another invasion and everything is going crazy. This world would be so much more peaceful without the Sidhe. I have to see what the Summer Court has to say about all this.

This was an AMAZING next installment of the Changeling Chronicles - and I absolutely love the author for not making us wait too long in between books, without sacrificing quality. I was on the edge of my seat throughout most of the book, and yet surprisingly, I didn't think that it moved too quickly - every scene was adequately explored. I do get frustrated with the heroine sometimes, but the author has done such a good job of developing her character's history that it still makes sense. I eagerly await Book 7!

Six books and still faacinated
I feel that the book was fascinating...just as were the other five . I feel connected to the characters but would have lines to see more of the good guys in this book. I also feel that this book ended abruptly and wasn"t quite ready for it to be done

This book gets a 4.5 rating, due to a cliffhanger ending. Evidently book seven will be the last in the series, so the other part of the story waits, until it is published. Ivy as usual, fights ten , or more evil beings at once, even going past the vale to death, which she can, since she has death magic. Vance tries to support her, but as head mage he has lots of problems to handle. Isabel does her best to help, but her contribution cannot take out a death God, or his minions, who plan to plunder the earth. It was exciting, and a fast read. I am sad it is ending, since Ivy, and Vance are so perfect as a couple. Isobel, has just met Rick, and I'd love to know their story, as well. Do these people ever get a life since it has been one disaster, and fight after another since book one. Do not start reading here, or you will not know half the story. The series is really good, and easy to follow, but has had many adventures, and they are referenced in this book, but not to the point you will just pick the story up.Just when you have an awesome duo, like cat, and bones the series ends. I have enjoyed every minute of it, and look forward to book seven.

This is a magic-packed, action-filled adventure with a heroine who's ready to take on any faerie who dares to stand against her.
Ivy returns from vacation to another mysterious death, and she has no doubt that the fae are involved. Again. Of course, nothing is as simple as it seems and before she knows it, the fate of all realms lies in her hands.
I've been following this series from the very beginning, and even though this is book six, it's still as exciting as the very first one. Ivy's grown into her powers and has matured in the areas of decision making and judgement. She fights for what's right and refuses to give in. In other words, she's grown into a character to root for to the very end.
Although Ivy is up against the Fae again and again, the plot remains fresh. The 'evil' characters all have their own, complex stories and have also grown. The interplay between the different realms has thickened and there are always new corners to discover. As always, the author brings the worlds to life and it's no problem to sink right in.
There is romance, and it's a steadfast one, which, by now, never borders into doubt. But then, Ivy barely has time for such things. The action increases from one scene to the next, raising the tension right along with it. There are unexpected twists and turns which make it impossible to see where things will take Ivy next. There are plenty of fight scenes, monsters around every corner and magic flowing without end.
The ending wraps up several things, but ends pretty much on a cliff-hanger. The next book looks like it will bring an end to the series, and I can't wait to see what final surprises still await.

Winter claims the half-blood's territory..
A mercenary is murdered, when Ivy contacts his ghost he asks her to protect his 13 year old daughter before being dragged into the gates. When Ivy and Vance find her she's caught up in the belief that she can gain immortality..
When Ivy tries to get hold of the faerie Chief she finds Alison has claimed not only the position but has thrown the summer Fae from their homes and created a civil war between the Seelie and Unseelie half-bloods. Refusing to honour the obligations to the Mage's and locking up the Chief summer half-bloods are fleeing their territory.
A certain trusted brownie appears to be working against them but his bows prevent him from telling all they need to know. He's their last hope to contact the Seelie court for answers and yet it seems that neither full-blooded court cares about the human realm at all and don't see the dangers facing them if the veil breaks again.
But there's bigger problems afoot and Ivy has more than just a murder to solve. She has a vow and a wraith to deal with and it's going to take every last drop of her magic.
But when she returns will anyone be left to save?
You will be desperate to read the next..

This is the sixth book of seven in the series. So, if you've read the series so far you'll continue to the last book. I thought the book had a lot of action and I like the characters in the series very much, however the book ended on a cliffhanger. I did not feel that this book had any type of stand alone plot with an overall story arc. This book felt like it was setting the stage for the last book. In my opinion, this is more of the first half of the last book than it is a complete book.
I did use immersion reading and set this aside for a while waiting for Audible to come out. I thought the narrator did a good job. I'm invested in the series so the non ending won't deter me from moving onto "Fairie War." But if this type of filler story had been earlier in the series I may have set it aside.

Faerie Hunt is the sixth book in the Changeling Chronicles written by Emma L. Adams. Ivy Lane finally got a break from all of the Faerie drama for a short period of time. However, that was the calm before the storm. The threat from the Grey Vale is always present and getting more and more dangerous every day. It is up to Ivy to stop another invasion from happening.
Overall, this was another great addition to the series. The plot is fast paced with a ton of action and suspense.

Ends on a cliffhanger!
Fantastic continuation of the series but why does everyone come back from the dead? Still a very well crafted story about faeries, magic, and the impending apocalypse.

A real cliffhanger.
I think this was the only book in the series that did not have an ending but only a lead in to the next book. Other than that this was another action packed book.

Epic ending to this book!
I don't remember why I waited so long to read this book. Ivy had a much deserved vacation and came home to disaster after disaster. It ends on a major cliffhanger. I was on the edge of my seat and bouncing excitedly while reading this book.

I’ve enjoyed this series so far. Granted Our Violet can be a bit annoying and seems to be the only one who can save the world...but overall I like the magic, the world-building, the romance and the plot lines. I’ll be interested to see where the next book takes us.

As always, a great book
I couldn't stop reading until I finished the book. My poor eyes may never be the same. Great action, storyline superbly written. Kudos to Emma Adam's. Can't wait to read the next book in this series, please read, you will thank me.

I really liked these books. I do believe they should be marked as New Adult. It would be nice that Ivy could catch a breath before the next nasty little thing happens though.

Love this series and these characters. Wish it had more romance because there’s a lot of drama but I still love ivy and Vance.

The fight continues .
I really enjoyed this book. To me it had the right Combination of action, indomitable will to survive and to save friends and loved ones. The way the heroine is learning how to deal with her new abilities and determined to still keep her humanity.

It was a great series but ended too abruptly. What happened to Vance??? What happened to her magic and the girl?

I enjoy this series but this one seemed to get nowhere - ended with no resolution. I like Ivy Lane and all of the characters but I like to see one problem solved and another set up for the next book. I felt like I was left with too many questions in this one.

Great heroine and plots, hopefully in book 7 Ivy gets her magic and more back.
