Queene of Light by Jennifer Armintrout
Many urban fantasy authors have written about supernatural races coming out of the shadows and living among humans.

I love this idea. Jennifer Armintrout gives the reader a setting that feels both archetypal (because the fae have often been said to live underground) and fresh (because I’ve never seen it done quite like this).

The first part of Veil of Shadows deals with Cerridwen and Cedric’s journey to Ireland,

I take it then, Marion, that you are NOT a Nancy Kwan completist? 😂
I love the original myths, and this artwork is amazing.
Think I'll pass on Night Creature!
Oh, I love Karloff as well, Becky! He can justly be called "The King of Horror"!
