Her Dark Fairy by Ella Vines

Her Dark Fairy is the first book I have read that had only faries in it. I have read books with faries as minor characters, but never one with the main character a fariy.

In October of 1858, a walk through the Mississippi woods behind her home changes Lucia Marks’ life forever. When she twists her ankle and blacks out, a gorgeous winged creature comes to her rescue, an alluring being of legend that haunts her days and nights. But what does he want from her, and who is he? More importantly, will he be part of her future?

Lucia was twenty-two and still hasn't had a man ask for her hand. Her family believes William plans to ask to marry her but as of yet has not done so. On her way back from town she slips and sprains her ankle, only to have a man find her and carry her home.

Berrigan Ash is a fairy living the Lucia's family woods, so when he finds her laying on the side of the road he carries her back to her parents. Berrigan knows that Lucia is the one he is supposed to be with. 

The story that Hettie, the family slave, told Lucia about the fairies that live in the forrest, should have made her stay away from Berrigan and the woods but instead it makes her want to go in there. Lucia wants to find out for herself. She felt drawn to the woods and to Berrigan.

Her Dark Fairy was an interesting story, but the change in Lucia from not wanting to go in his cabin (because if someone would find out that William wouldn't want to marry her), to agreeing to stay with him seemed a little fast for me. I think I would have enjoyed Her Dark Fairy more if there was more build up to Lucia's relationship with Berrigan. If you are looking for something different, or  you are a fan of fariy paranormal stories you could check out Her Dark Fairy.
