Ratings and reviews

The Farrier's Daughter, book one of the Irish Witch series is a page turner. Loved the characters of Alainn and Killian, they have known each other for years, now they have fallen in love. Alainn is a very strong willed witch that is not afraid to stand up for herself. Loved the magic and romance. Wonderful history and description that will keep you entertained. This is a cliffhanger, so get ready to read the next book in the series. This is not my typical read but so happy that I read out of my comfort zone. Off to read the next installment, The Witch's Daughter.

Excellent series starter! training to become a healer but her mentor has cautioned her to hide her magical talents for her own safety. There is something different about Alainn and dark secrets about her past that she is desperate to uncover. This is the first book in the series and I am looking forward to the next book! The romance, drama, magic, and danger kept me glued to the pages.

It took me a bit to get into this story but once I did, I could not put it down. Alainn is a healer but maybe better known as a witch for all the powers she uses and ones she has yet to learn about. Growing up in a time when women were to be quiet, and do whatever their husbands or other men wish, has not gone over well with Alainn. She has short patience, a sharp tongue and strong feelings. I was sad when the story ended but I look forward to reading the next one in the series. I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
