I've known Galenorn when she was writing wicca 101 books and knew that she had a flare for storytelling. So when I spied the first three books of her Otherworld series on my mother-in-law's bookcase, I knew that I'd hafta get a set of my own. She's not that bad of a story spinner either. This book, written in first person perspective by the eldest of three sisters (who are half-fae and half-human), Camille– a witch who draws her magic from the power of the moon– jumps right into the action. It tells the tale of how the sisters have to deal with a daemon attack on the Earthbound (aka Earth) plane. The writing feels a bit over the top, as there seems to be too much goodness about these characters but I'm hoping as the series continues, that the writing as well as the characters smooth out a bit and lose some of the fae-glam and get a bit real. We'll see. Over all, a fun book to read; and didn't take that long... gulped in down in less than a day.
