The Water Witch by Juliet Dark is the second book in the The
Fairwik Trilogy. The first book being The Demon Lover, if you are
interested in reading the review of the first book it can located The Demon Lover- Review.
In the second installment we are taken back into the life of
Callie McFay, who is still recovering from casting out an Incubus and her
lover. Now she has to fight the closing of the portal between earth as we
know it and the fairy realm. Along the way she loses and gains friends
and allies. Also the dreams connecting her and her Incubus are still
going on, her house if falling apart, she is fighting evil witches and warlocks
and she can only thank the powers that she doesn’t have to deal with all the
students. If she did she couldn't possibly save the Undines, the gate and
perhaps all the Fairy left on earth.
Juliet
Dark once again leads us to a magical realm with more than enough realism to
make us feel that this could be our life, a main character that you connect too
and an Incubus that is all too human. She has never failed to please and
I simply cannot wait until I can finish the trilogy. Once again she has
left me wanting more and unable to wait.
This was the perfect set up for the third and final part of the
trilogy. I don’t think that these books
could offer me more if they tried. I give another five stars to Ms. Dark!
The back of the book reads
"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."
