There is trouble brewing in the town of Fairwick. The
Witches of the Grove, led by Cailleach McFay's grandmother,
are a politically driven group. They are planning to meet
soon in order to discuss their plans with the town folk of
Fairwick. The Grove would like to permanently close the
last remaining door to Faerie. If this happens then half
of the residents of Fairwick will have to hurry and return
to Faerie or wither and die without the door to access
alvesgold, which prolongs their lives in the real world.
For centuries the fairy, fey, succubae, and other worldly
beings would travel through the door to re-energize with
alvesgold then return to continue living among the humans
in peace. The Grove hate these other worldly beings. This
hate has festered for thousands of years.
Cailleach McFay is a professor at Fairwick College and
lives in Honey Suckle House located in the town of
Fairwick. Though it is in disrepair, Callie loves this
house. Callie's parents raised her as a human but shared a
secret with her when she was young. Callie's mother was a
witch and her father was a Fey Door Keeper. As she grew
she inherited both her parents' abilities; however, she was
a very clumsy witch and door keeper. It seems that when
she would open the door to Faerie or tried to cast a spell
trouble was not very far behind. Callie also made a
mistake and fell for an incubus pretending to be a real man
named Liam. When dead students turned up, Callie had to
banish her boyfriend Liam to the Borderlands for all
eternity.
In order to help Callie gain better control of her
abilities the faculty of Fairwick College brought in a
highly recommended Wizard named Duncan to train her.
Callie was attracted to Duncan, though she still found
herself making love to Liam in her dreams.
THE WATER WITCH is book number two of a well written
paranormal trilogy. I was hooked at the prologue and it
was very hard to put the book down. Each chapter had a bit
of a cliffhanger and you just had to know what was going to
happen next. I am looking forward to reading the first and
then third book once it is published.
Juliet Dark has woven a beautiful tale of love, friendship
and what it means to be part of a community. She gave the
town charm and quaintness. Through her descriptions you
could visualize the famous fish swimming in the waters
surrounding Fairwick. You could also envision the beauty
that is Faerie. Juliet Dark created the good witches and
succubae professors of Fairwick College to have compassion,
humor, gumption, and tenacity. She also provided a
conscious to a manipulative life-sucking incubus!
If you like a paranormal that has drama, humor, and
suspense, then you will want to purchase Juliet Dark's
trilogy.
Perfect for fans of Deborah Harkness and Elizabeth Kostova,
The Water Watch is a breathtakingly sexy and atmospheric new
novel of ancient folklore, passionate love, and thrilling
magic.
After casting out a dark spirit, Callie McFay, a professor
of gothic literature, has at last restored a semblance of
calm to her rambling Victorian house. But in the nearby
thicket of the honeysuckle forest, and in the currents of
the rushing Undine stream, more trouble is stirring. . . .
The enchanted town of Fairwick’s dazzling mix of mythical
creatures has come under siege from the Grove: a sinister
group of witches determined to banish the fey back to their
ancestral land. With factions turning on one another, all
are cruelly forced to take sides. Callie’s grandmother, a
prominent Grove member, demands her granddaughter’s
compliance, but half-witch/half-fey Callie can hardly betray
her friends and colleagues at the college. To stave off
disaster, Callie enlists Duncan Laird, an alluring seductive
academic who cultivates her vast magical potential, but to
what end? Deeply conflicted, Callie struggles to save her
beloved Fairwick, dangerously pushing her extraordinary
powers to the limit—risking all, even the needs of her own
passionate heart.
