Flame and Crystal Thorns (Fae and Crystal Thorns Book 1)
By Kay L. Moody
4 Stars

Chloe has become the town’s apothecary and with her love of reading, is very good at it. Happy to be back in the mortal realm, she has made a life for herself. So when a Fae from her past shows up demanding that she return, she refuses. Quintus states that there is a war happening and claims that she is the only one that can help. A strange illness is spreading through her village and Chloe realizes that for her to save her people, she’ll have to return to the Fae realm to get the antidote. Might as well kill two birds with one stone.

I liked that the one to save the day was a human. No superpowers at all. Chloe wasn’t strong or brave but she continually found the courage to persevere. Although she did annoy me on numerous occasions, she learned and grew throughout the story. I adored Quintus. He would never admit how much he cared for Chloe but his actions spoke volumes.

This is a magical, fantasy story filled with action and drama. My kind of book! I was a little disappointed that although Chloe and Quintus were great, the secondary characters had no substance, they were flat. The book ends on a cliffhanger which means waiting for the next book.
