The Starseed Trilogy #1
Prophecy of Three
Lily thought growing up in a hippie commune meant her life was odd.
But that’s nothing, compared to learning she’s a descendant of the McKay clan, a renown Irish witching family.
Or that she’s one of three witches fated to save humanity from an ancient, devious magical race. A race guilty of starting countless witch hunts and committing hundreds of murders in history—all because they were searching for the fated three.
Lily’s knee-jerk reaction is to run screaming back to what is known and easy, but once she gets her first taste of magic everything changes. Nothing has ever felt more real or right.
She’s hooked.
Despite the promise of danger, Lily throws herself into her magical education in hopes of holding off the barbaric magical race threatening to destroy the world as she knows it.
Because the McKay witches have the upper hand for now, but something tells Lily that won’t last long.
Prophecy of Three is a paranormal fantasy with engaging characters, seamlessly woven mythology, and heart-pounding moments of action that will keep you turning the page. It is perfect for fans of the TV show Charmed and The All Souls Trilogy.

Lily's 21st birthday would be the day that her life as she knew it ceases to exist. Following the call from her birth family, her journey begins in the only place she's known as home, a commune somewhere in Portland, Oregon and she travels across "a country and an ocean" all the way to Ireland to find the one she came from. There, she discovers the truth about her relatives, her true
nature, and her witch powers. Not to mention the destiny she's been born to fulfill...
The story was gripping right from the start; with her elegant yet concise writing McLeo has masterfully created an enchanting fantastic world in which the story unfolds. Every little detail is perfectly planned and illustrated, encompassing all senses in our journey through her book. I could easily see the forests with the big oak trees, I could smell the lavender and the ginger, I could feel Sara's warmth, I could taste the bitter potions and I could hear the waves Eve awoken. I felt close to the characters, well-roundedly as their personalities have been weaved. Despite naturally having their flaws, they're nevertheless amiable and relatable and complimented each other gracefully. There's no unnecessary drama here, nothing over the top and unrealistic. Everything seems to be flowing so smoothly and nothing is forced. You can't help but feel that you've known these girls all along - that feeling you have when you meet a person you're bound to become very close with.
At the same time, the action balances well with the dialogue, the mixture of past and present, real and fantastic, new and old, puts you through a roller-coaster of emotions ranging from tranquility and peacefulness, to shock, revulsion and terror.
Even at its darkest points (and there are quite a few!), I couldn't put this book down. I looked forward every day to return home, pick it up and immerse in it. This is an absolutely exhilarating reading I can't recommend enough! I can't wait for the next one!

WOW! I was so not expecting this! This book took me to a whole other reality and it was such an amazing surprise. Supernatural books used to be a genre that I loved growing up, but as I got older, I guess I got pickier, or maybe jaded with all the fantasy novels that appeared. So many books in this genre start to seem so similar to each other that I have to admit turned me off to the whole thing. But then books like Prophecy of Three fall on my lap and I just can’t get enough! I start to question why I shied away from this genre in the first place. It’s just that good! And the prose... My god, the prose was so beautifully written that I felt I was right there! I felt everything, in awe of every little display of magic. Ashley McLeo has definitely knocked this out of the park and I can’t wait to continue to read about these strong and powerful women!

An exceptional book and unexpected poetic writing. I enjoyed how all the characters were distinct and the author is gifted with using all five senses when she writes. I will be awaiting the sequel.

Lily Whiplark has been away at college and she has just broken up with her boyfriend Liam, now she is on her way home and his looking forward to enjoying her vacation and celebrating her birthday with her family. Yea it’s her birthday, it’s her birthday, her twenty-first birthday.
But before all the festivals have a chance to begin Lily is given the news that her biological parents want to meet her. She is then thrust with a plane ticket to Ireland. Lily has always known that she was adopted but she never thought that she was from a whole ocean away in Ireland.
In Ireland, she meets her birth family and is thrown so much information that she almost goes into information overload. Lily learns that she is one of three sisters, triplets and that she is a witch. She also learns that she is descended from aliens who came to earth to enslave humans. Lily soon learns that she and her sisters are destined to fight the aliens and save the humans.
When I read the summary for Prophecy of Three I knew I had to read it and once I picked it up I didn’t want to lay it down. It grabbed me from the first page and wouldn’t let go until the end and even then it is still hanging on. I just wished it that I had started way before I did. There was action right from the first page. I loved seeing and witnessing the world through Lily’s eyes that was so amazing.
Ashley pulled me in so that I felt as if I was sitting there right beside Lily seeing and feeling everything she did. It was like a movie being played out in my head with the witches and the vampires and the story in the end just blew me away with even reading the summary for some reason that is not what I was expecting at all. I loved it. I can’t wait to read more from this world of The Starseed Trilogy.
I would love to recommend Prophecy of Three to anyone who loves reading about witches, vampires, magic and lots of twist and turns that will blow you away.

This is the first book I have read by this author so I really had no idea what to expect from this book but I am so so glad that i picked up this book to read! I am not quite sure what I expected when I started this book but it way surpassed my expectations and I loved it more than I thought I would!
This storyline is one of those stories that you will always remember. Being Scottish and loving all things Celtic as well as being Pagan this storyline sang to me and just resonated with me and the things I love and have a passion for. I was so Impressed with the talent that this author has to be able to describe details with such vivid clarity, while reading this you can “see” the scenery and you can imagine yourself there! Having been to Ireland and falling in love with it, I can attest to how the details of this book are so genuine and realistic! The storyline to this book is do addictive and unpredictable you can't stop turning the pages, and this is down to how this story has been written, as a reader you just can't wait to find out what happens next! I think another element of this book that I related to was the fact i am adopted so it was really interesting reading how all the characters adjusted to their birth family bring back together.
I loved how different all the characters are, they may be related and have certain aspects in common but they are all unique! I loved Bridgit, she has such will of strength, having thinking of the best thing for her daughter's, not what her heart wanted. There is something so calming about her character, she has a feeling of an old soul that I could read about forever!!! I loved how different the triplets are and I don't think that is just the way that they were raised. Sara is also a lively character to read about, she is so much like her mother in the way she seems calm most of the time and the voice of reason. Evelyn is a hard character to get to know as she is do guarded all of the time, it would be nice to get to know her better and to see what's beneath her protective shell.
I adored this book and I am so glad that i found this author!!! I am most definitely going to read her other books and I think readers need to read this book, they will not regret it!!! This book is defi are my worth a 5* rating!!!!

I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for writing a review.
There is A LOT going on in this book, and I really enjoyed it.
This book has a number of things I enjoy, and a few that wouldn't normally grab me, but everything came together so well and I found myself completely drawn in to the story and excited to see how it was all going to play out.
The story is driven by a unique and interesting combination of history, myth, culture, fantasy and a smidgen of religious history, but it is all in service of the author's creative, entertaining, well-written and well-conceived plot. If you pay attention you will get an education on all these categories, but even if you don't care about any of them, there is an exciting, suspenseful and character-driven plot to draw in a reader.
Speaking of characters, if you like your books peopled with strong women, as I do, then this book is a jackpot full of them. Honesty compels me to say that of the three main characters in this series, Lily [the main focus of this book] probably isn't going to be my very favourite. I like her, and I sympathize with her situation, but she's a bit on the easily led and taken advantage of side in the beginning. Still, Lily absolutely pulls it together when the moment calls for it, and in the end she's a terrific character that is it very easy to like and root for.
I also really liked the pacing in this book. The ebbs and flows of the story take you right from an explanation or a fleshing out of the "why" things are happening the way they are, to a no-holds-barred exciting rush of action and drama. And in all of that there is also a subtle development of the characters and an explanation of who they are becoming based on who they've been before and what they are going through now. There is a lot of growth for these characters throughout the book and it's fun to go along on their journey to a completely new place based on all the new experiences they are having.
This was a great start to what should be a really exciting trilogy! I am looking forward to book 2.

The Prophesy of Three Review
I loved loved loved this book. 3 strangers are brought together after 21 years only to learn that they are sisters; not only that but that they are witches. What a lot for the girls to take in. Even being strangers sibling rivalry still rears it’s ugly head. I love how the sisters work on developing their powers as they grow together and into the family that had to place them in hiding while also hiding their powers from them. As they learn more about themselves they can see things from their past with a different perspective. This story is like a coming of age for the sisters. Since this story is mostly Lily’s it’s heartbreaking with a certain decision she has to make about a beloved family member. While her life growing up was anything but traditional living on a commune, she always had love and support as well as many teachers. Knowing what she knows now her life and the lives of her sisters are forever changed. Her birth family as she is learning; is also very loving and supporting and they do not push her or her sisters to do anything they are not ready for. This story is about familial love, self sacrifice, and learning of a prophesy that will later take them into battle. It is beautifully written and you can feel the love as you read. I had to set aside my personal beliefs in order to continue on with the story and I’m glad I did because it gave me a better understanding of the 3 original triplets and did not sway me or upset my beliefs. Take a chance on this book. You will be glad that you did.

A very fun quick read a must read for those of us who love witches, vampires and mythology. A hard to put down book can't wait to get my hands on book 2 of the series.

Ashley McLeo has created a world unlike anything I’d read before. This is one of those books that kept me thinking about it when I wasn’t reading and coming back for more as soon as I could. She writes in a way that invokes all the senses, allowing the reader to picture the setting and characters effortlessly in their mind.
She’s created characters that feel very realistic, like old friends. I felt like I was there as Lily, Sara and Evelyn met their birth mother and her family. As they began to learn about their powers and who they are, I could see the magic and feel the emotions. As they struggled through the ups and downs their reactions were believable and felt very true to character for each of them.
Not only did I love the story and characters, but the back story for this world of magic is incredibly original. Without giving anything away, I can honestly say I’ve never read another quite like it! I loved how the pieces started to come together as the storyline progressed and I cannot wait to read the next book. McLeo is definitely an author worth watching!

Debut novel? It doesn't feel like it. The characters are vivid, the storyline is clever and captivating, holding you in its grip from start to finish. The book is well-written, filled with enjoyable dialogue and a fresh take on witches and vampires. If you're looking for your next favorite author, you've found her.
Follow Lily Whiplark as she journeys from a commune outside Portland Oregon to the Irish countryside where she learns that she's a witch with a destiny to save all of humankind. Not only that, but she do so alongside her two sisters. She's one third of a set of triplets hidden away from birth until their powers grew strong enough to handle a battle against vampires. There's also looming threat of an alien race who wants to migrate to earth and enslave humans for their whims.
Sounds like a lot to take in, right? It is but the pieces are woven together beautifully and crafted into a fascinating tale that keeps you turning the page!

I normally read non-fiction... but I read this book in one sitting! I loved the blend of Irish culture with a great personal story line, mythological and historical undertones, and a creative combination of witchcraft and vampires. I have a feeling this series will be made into a movie! Excellent job A. Mcleo! (When is book 2 coming out?!)
February 1, 2019
Ahhh!!! I so badly want to go buy the second book right this second but adulting makes that hard. I was entranced from moment one with this book, though it took me a little while, like Lily, to realize the importance of the commune. I was told it was reminiscent of Charmed and I have to agree, and also something else I haven’t yet been able to place. I love the interwoven Celtic mythology, the incorporation of plants and their uses, and the strong elemental powers. I could go on and on and confuse everyone with my minds gibberish, but overall absolutely a book I recommend reading. And I love how seamlessly it ended and left you wanting more.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

I devoured this book in two sittings. While not in my normal genre, I really enjoyed the craft and detail that was put into the story and characters. I can't wait for more in the series!
One of my favorite sentences:
"Faint traces of rhododendrons, dahlias, and mint hung in the night air like secret admirers vying for her attention."

This book was suggested to me & I'm so glad it was 👍
Lily has just graduated College. She loves to run cross country & it helped her gain her scholarships to pay for her education!! She was adopted & brought up on a commune that was secluded but full of love, nature & nurturing!!
When she returns home for summer solstice & her 21st birthday a women is there that her mum seems to know. She informs Lily that her birth family have been found & she has a plane ticket to take her to Ireland to meet them in 2days!!
Upon landing she not only meets her Mum & Aunt's she also discovers she's a witch.
What follows are massive revelations, shocks galore, excitement, fear, self recrimination, hopelessness, jealousy, shame & heartbreak!!!
Lily, Evelyn & Sara are fated. They need to learn their craft fast & well as what's coming will destroy mankind & they're all that can stop it!!! 🌎🌟💫🚀
This book's story flows really well, it's really well written. It hooks you in & sweeps you along with the vastness of what they face whilst not overwhelming you, as it focuses so well on the inhabitants of Fern Cottage.
A very worthy 1Click 😀

Follow Lily and her sisters as they learn about their heritage and regain their lost powers in time for them to save the world, taking you on an incredible journey throughout space and time.
The story follows the girls as they travel to the country of their birth and gives such a beautifully written history, I was impressed by the detail and stunning depth it added.
Prophecy of Three is filled with vivid imagery that keeps you engaged for the entire book. The main cast of characters are flawed and surprisingly human, yet you find yourself drawn into their struggles, hoping they succeed. I found myself cheering for the girl’s success in their journey and can’t wait to see how the series ends.
You will not regret picking this book up and spending the day in bed reading

I really enjoyed this book, the story flows well and has you hooked from the beginning. Lily is quite naive at the beginning, but you see her character develop well. I like the diversity of the characters, that helps to bring this story together. If you like stories about witch craft, mysteries and the supernatural, you will like this one.

Such a great book if you have any interest in the supernatural and witches, both of which I love to read about. The characters are well thought out and the journey they go on is intriguing and exciting. I found that I could envision the places in the book due to the great descriptions. Three women's lives are about to be changed forever and you won't want to miss a single page. There are two books finished in the series along with a novella and there is another novella and book in the works.

A very fun and quick read - would definitely recommend! Ashley created a wonderful fantasy world that drew me in, the characters were fascinating, and this book was sure a page turner! I haven't read many books of this genre but I definitely loved this one! Can't wait for the 2nd book!! Very impressed for a debut novel.
July 6, 2017
This book is captivating and keeps the reader interested until the end! I looked forward to my down time when I could sit back and get lost in the world of witches. A nice break from the every day mundane.
March 23, 2018
Good debut!
This is a story of family, prophecy, and truth. Lily graduates from college only to return home to have her world flipped upside down. Magic abounds in this unique tale. I look forward to the evolution of this series and this budding new author.

This story has many twists and turns and edge of your seat action. This is the first book I have read by Ashley McLeo and I can't wait for more.

Three Sisters
I did enjoy reading this novel. It has witches and vampires, speaks of a mothers love and sacrifice, and of families and the different dynamics in each player. Old tales of the Bible are also brought into the story. An interesting read. On to the next!

The story started out a bit slow but within the first three chapters it picks up. Without giving to much away the story is about an ancient race of beings known as fata who are the creators of witches. Once you meet the three main characters Lily, Sera, and Evelyn the story pulls you in and from there you will want to keep reading.

I received this book from the author, and I thank her for starting me on this series! It starts off with quite a thrill as we experience a burning library and the reasons it burns. The rest of the tale is told by Lily as she begins her journey as an adult. Her life is turned upside down, and she does a pretty good handling the shocking changes. The characters in this book are definitely all strong women, and it is well written and easy to read with a storyline that keeps you intrigued. Ashley uses this book to explore interesting ideas about some classic beliefs that people have. I will definitely continue along this journey with the other books in the series.

I was given an ARC for an honest review and I loved loved loved it.
This novel pulled me in from the first chapter. I found myself unable to put the book down every time I sat to read. I was sucked into the world of witches and craft in a way that made me want to be a part of it completely.
The story of the sisters, their magic, and their heritage was present very well. Although I felt as though some parts were dragged out too much or went on for too long, I understood their importance for setting the story in motion. I found myself bonding with Lily, feeling sorry for Evelyn, and wanting to be best friends with Sara. The setting and places the girls traveled to were well thought out and developed. I loved the twist on the Adam and Eve story that so many of is know. It has a darker twist that fit so perfectly with the plot of this story as well as leads the way into the next!
I can't wait to continue reading the series and learn more about their family and magical abilities. Witches...vampires...and who knows what else is to come !!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for a review! :)
Prophecy of Three, the first book in The Starseed Trilogy, was quite entertaining! After a brief prologue, we are introduced to Lily, the main character. She has just returned home from college, and she is happy to see her unconventional family once again. (Lily was adopted and lives in a commune consisting mostly of women!) Shortly after arriving home, Lily is given the opportunity to travel to Ireland to meet her birth family. Despite her reservations, she ends up making the trip!
After arriving in Ireland, Lily's world is turned upside down. First of all, she learns that she is a triplet. Her sisters, Evelyn and Sara, are there with her, and they are nothing alike at all. Second, she learns that she and her sisters are actually witches! Lastly, she learns that her birth family did not give her and her sisters up because they didn't want them- they gave them up to protect them. This is all because of a prophecy written many years ago.
There were so many things I loved about this book! The characters are entertaining and engaging. I rolled my eyes at Evelyn for a little while, but she does have some redeeming qualities. Lily's birth mother as well as her aunts are so interesting and seem like they would be some awesome ladies to have in your family! :)
One aspect I really enjoyed with this book is the fact that the story provides a different take on witches. Without going into too much detail, witches are apparently descendants of a race of beings called fata from the planet Hecate. I can't wait to see how this knowledge plays out in later books!
Overall, I thought this was a fun, entertaining read, and I can't wait to read the next book in the series!

4.5 stars for Prophecy of Three - an interesting read that will appeal to anyone who enjoys stories about witches and other fantastical creatures, with a historical twist. I would love to see more romance in the next books and look forward to seeing what happens to the amazing women in the story!
