Fresh Fiction Review

The Exile
C.T. Adams

Reviewed by Annetta Sweetko
Posted June 28, 2015

Fantasy Urban

Brianna Hai runs an occult shop that sells trinkets to tourists and real magic supplies to witches and warlocks. But Brianna is much more, in the Fae world she is the daughter of the High King of the Fae, but is rather happily THE EXILE, having left the treacherous world of her family behind. Unfortunately that world is about to force her back to the fold. A magical assault on her home reveals her father is under attack. With the help of her gargoyle, Pug, a friend David and Angelo a police detective who is about to get a lesson on the reality of magic, she recovers what was stolen from her home. In the process she becomes an unwilling potential heir to her father's throne. THE EXILE is a suspense filled, urban fantasy with just a touch of romance. This is a solo novel by C.T. Adams, half of the bestselling author Cat Adams who writes the Blood Singer novels. This fantasy filled storyline makes you believe in the existence of the magical beings Ms. Adams creates. It is well blended with suspense, action and humor as well as very intriguing characters. Brianna is reluctant to return to the dog eat dog world she had exiled herself from and who could blame her ... it is a vicious environment. Pug, David and even Angelo add some normalcy, humor and the strong emotional support she needs. Very good first book of a series and I hope to see many more coming out.

SUMMARY

Brianna Hai runs an occult shop that sells useless trinkets to tourists--and real magic supplies to witches and warlocks. The magical painting that hangs in Brianna's apartment is the last portal between the fae and human worlds. A shocking magical assault on her home reveals to Brianna that her father, High King Liu of the Fae, is under attack. With the help of her gargoyle, Pug, her friend David, and Angelo, a police detective who doesn't believe in magic, Brianna recovers what was stolen from her and becomes an unwilling potential heir to the throne. A suspenseful urban fantasy with a hint of romance, The Exile is the first solo novel by C. T. Adams, who is half of USA Today bestselling author Cat Adams. Like the Cat Adams Blood Singer novels, The Exile is set in a world where magic is real and contains Adams's trademark blend of suspense, action, humor, and strongly emotional writing.
