The Faerie Guardian: Creepy Hollow 1 ~ A Book Review

Book Blurb: 

Protecting humans from dangerous magical creatures is all in a day’s work for a faerie training to be a guardian. Seventeen-year-old Violet Fairdale knows this better than anyone—she’s about to become the best guardian the Guild has seen in years. That is, until a cute human boy who can somehow see through her faerie glamour follows her into the fae realm. Now she’s broken Guild Law, a crime that could lead to her expulsion.

The last thing Vi wants to do is spend any more time with the boy who got her into this mess, but the Guild requires that she return Nate to his home and make him forget everything he’s discovered of the fae realm. Easy, right? Not when you factor in evil faeries, long-lost family members, and inconvenient feelings of the romantic kind. Vi is about to find herself tangled up in a dangerous plot—and it’ll take all her training to get out alive.

My Review: 

Right now, I just feel like going fangirl over this book. What can I say? ohmyfreakinggoodnessIloveit!! Ahhhh!  It is such an incredible book!!!!! Seriously, go buy this book right now, drop what you are doing, and read it!!! 

Every page keeps you guessing.  You feel for every character in there.  The guy you thought was an enemy? Yeah no, I love him! The guy you originally fall for? Yeah no, he's a jerk! (Well at least this is what you are led to believe) :D  Rachel Morgan is a fantastic author.  This is her calling, no doubt.  The way she weaves the story keeps you falling in love with every page! 

I seriously LOVE this book.  The characters are in depth, real, lovable, and you just can't get enough. 

The writing is amazing. The entire book is just beautiful.  

The story is fresh, exciting, there are no cliche's!  Everything is wonderful.  I haven't bee this in love with book in a long time! 

And I can tell you, I plan on buying every book Rachel Morgan writes.

Author Interview: 

Konstanz: Please tell us a little bit about yourself. 

Rachel: I live in South Africa. I studied genetics and biochemistry before deciding I wanted to be a published author. For the past three and a half years I’ve been juggling teaching and writing, but I’m getting married TOMORROW (ohmygoshfreakout!!) and moving to a new city, so who knows what next year holds! I play the piano and flute, don’t like coffee, and can’t go too long without chocolate.

Konstanz: Were you a Reader or Writer first?

Rachel: A reader, ever since my parents bought me my very first Famous Five book after I learned how to read. I’ve loved reading ever since!

Konstanz: Did you start writing with publication in mind or just for fun and publication came later?

Rachel: I first started writing just for fun, but there was always this idea in the back of my mind that it would one day lead to publication. I had no idea back then how difficult it actually is to become published through traditional channels, so I just thought it was a given that I’d be a published author one day in my distant future!

Konstanz: Favorite Summer Drink?

Rachel: You’re going to think I’m really boring when I say water with tons of ice blocks / homemade lemonade with tons of ice blocks, but seriously? Seriously? Do you know how hot and sticky it gets in Durban, SA in summer? Everything just sticks to you. Even the air is so heavily humid it sticks to you! So yeah. There’s nothing like good old iced water ;-)

Konstanz: Do you like the Harry Potter books or the Harry Potter Movies more?

Rachel: Books all the way. The movies are enjoyable, but the books are far, far better!

Konstanz: If you got a million dollars today, what would you do with it?

Rachel: Well, I’d be super excited since that’s close to 9 million rand these days! I’d obviously have to give away a lot, ’cause that’s an obscene amount of money, and what a blessing to be able to help people! The one thing I know I’d definitely do would be to start sponsoring some kids to attend the school I’m currently teaching at. There are a large number of students from very underprivileged backgrounds who can only be there because of bursaries/sponsors. It would be awesome to enable even more kids to attend and receive an education. Then … I guess I’d try make some good investments and keep enough to allow me to be a full-time writer :-)

I have to say, this is one of the most inspiring interviews I have ever read.  Rachel is pretty amazing!  

And as if that wasn't awesome enough, she is pretty awesome for giving away 5 e-copies of her book and ONE Hardbound copy!!!!
