The Faerie Guardian by Rachel Morgan

The Faerie Guardian (Creepy Hollow, #1)

by Rachel Morgan

She's fae. He's human. When he accidentally follows her back into the magic realm, a deadly plot is set in motion.

Rule: Never reveal yourself to a human.

I swear I didn’t break this rule. I had my glamour in place. I saved the guy’s life, just as I was assigned to do. And then he looked at me. Looked at me.

Rule: Never bring a human into the fae realm.

Technically, this wasn’t my fault either. He followed me. But the Guild doesn’t see it that way. Assignment status? Failed.

I’m months away from graduating top of my class, and now Nate has ruined everything. If I can get him back home without killing him, maybe I can salvage my guardian future.

Except ... there’s way more going on here than I suspected. Someone else is after Nate. Someone intent on unearthing long-forgotten secrets and immense power.

Next thing I know, we’re tangled up in a plot more dangerous than anything I’ve had to fight my way out of before.

Bonus complication? I think I’m falling for Nate ...

Graduation is the least of Violet’s problems in this bestselling YA fantasy series packed with dazzling magic, page-turning action, family secrets, and swoon-worthy romance.

First, I want to say that I love, love LOVE, the cover!

The story took place in the human realm and in Creepy Hollow. The descriptions of the settings and action scenes were more than I could have hoped for, they were so detailed. The way the author described Creepy Hollow, all of beautiful colors,
the tall trees, nature, and paranormal creatures, was very realistic, like Creepy Hollow actually existed. I was super impressed.

The main character is Violet [but goes by the name Vi] She's 17-year-old, whose independent, intelligent, and hardworking. She was in her fifth year in training to become a guardian; she learns to protect humans from the paranormal creatures. It was important to her to graduate at the top of her class, as her mother had done before her. Another significant character is Ryn, who was Vi's competition. Ryan was confident, he knew he was attractive. And then we have Nate, the human boy, who was able to see past Violet's faerie charm while she was battling a creature; protecting him. They end up falling for each other.


The Faerie Guardian is a fast-paced, and action-packed story! It was really captivating story, it really pulls the reader in! I definitely could not stop reading! There were many features that made this story enjoyable. I liked the setting of Creepy Hollow, how the author presented this new world and especially the characters in the story, learning about the many different types of paranormal creatures for example, Faeries, Pixies, Sprites,… etc. I just had to find out what was happening next. I definitely recommend it. Can't wait to read more, from this author.
