Fae Wilds #3
Force the Truth
If you can’t trust your family, who can you trust?
The Fae Queen and her King are locked in a millennia-spanning war of wills, and Lina has to walk the treacherous line between them to expose an even greater danger. Her trusty velox Braken is by her side, but even the well-trained soldier has secrets of his own. Her friends are imprisoned while her sister holds the key, but it’s an outsider who provides an exit when it’s needed.
From one trap to another, their ragtag band faces beasts, dreams, and illusions, to try and free the Fae Royals from their curse. Trusting the wrong person can get you killed, but trusting the right one could save the Realm.

About the author
W.J. May
236 books1,187 followers Wanita May grew up in the fruit belt of Ontario - St.Catharines. Crazy-happy childhood, she always has had a vivid imagination and loads of energy.
The youngest of six -- four older brothers, and a sister -- taught her at a young age to be competitive in all aspects of life.
At sixteen, she began competing in athletics (track and field) and before she turned seventeen, she was representing Canada in high jump. She continued to compete, breaking Canada's JR High Jump record (1.92m - 6' 3 1/2" for those metric-ly challenged). She attented University of Toronto, and Kansas State University - winning CIAU's and becoming All-American 6x - NCAA Indoors Runner Up + more.
But you're not interested in her athletic career - unless of course you're curious to know she stands 1.70m (5'7") and has jumped 20cm over her head on more than one occassion. She's represented Canada at the World Championships, World Jrs., won Francophone Games, and loved every minute of every competition. From the grueling workouts, the crazy weights she lifted on her back, the days she thought her lungs were going to spit out of her mouth for lack of oxygen, the travelling around the world and the opportunity to read - her favourite past time.
Life continued with her husband (a distance runner from Liverpool, UK, who she met at KSU) and then their first, then second and finally third child. Their house became full of more imagination and stories.
Wanita and her husband run an online business, dealing in antiques and collectables - particularly jewelry and porcelain (one of the business' website: www.wadeincanada.com ).
After her father passed away in 2009, from a six-year battle with cancer (which she still believes he won the fight against), she began to write again. A passion she'd loved for years, but realized life was too short to keep putting it off.
Her first book, Rae of Hope - from the Chronicles of Kerrigan - will be available October 2011 by kNight Romance Publishing.
She is currently represented by Dawn Dowdle of Blue Ridge Literary Agency. Wanita is a writer of Young Adult, Fantasy Fiction and where ever else her little muses take her.

Nature versus “progress”
A village of wooden buildings is nothing but a tree graveyard…
While there is a greater danger for all, this series is also about a culture clash between the two types of fae:
‘This is a fight for an entire civilization.’
Some live in towns of constructed stones and wood, while some live in tune with the woods.
Another main theme is trust. Lina and her crew keep running up against all sorts of obstacles to overcome; obstacles for which they always seem to need somebody else’s assistance:
‘If you can’t trust your family, who can you trust?’
‘I know the man of which you speak well enough to see what you cannot.’
As Braken so keenly pointed out, they have no opportunities to think, let alone plan.
‘We keep making decisions based on desperation and it only serves to drive us deeper into their clutches.’
Fave:
‘I’m as useful as a chocolate teapot’
Totally ready for more action in ‘Crown and Glory’, ‘Enemy and Rivals’, ‘Light in the Dark’, ‘Enemy & Rivals’, and ‘Light in the Dark’.
I also have some of her other series (Beginning’s End, Blood Red, Chronicles of Kerrigan, Omega Queen, Royal Factions, The Queen’s Alpha).

Well, I got the surprise of a lifetime with Force the Truth by author WJ May.
Lina and Braken and two more friends barely escaped the King's blade, fleeing onto the Wilds. But what awaits them there, is nothing what they could have foreseen.
Not what the actual recovery of Lina's memory would reveal and cause.
I am flabbergasted.
Phew.
Enjoy

This book gripped me the entire time. I enjoyed seeing relationships grow and new ones developed. I loved diving deeper into the fae realm, and it emerged with me completely. lilith is such a strong fmc, and I really enjoyed reading this book and following her with her reckless decisions.
The writing style, as always, is perfect, gripping, and morish. The chapter legnths are a little more on the long side, but it doesn't feel that way when you emerge into them. I do wish for dual POVs, which is one of the reasons for my 4 star rating. I'd love to get inside other characters' heads, too.
