The Lost & Lonely is a novella that takes place while the magical kids are off at school. It follows Phil and Ella, Estelle the Fairy’s foster brother and sister.
I was hoping to get some clues as to what Estelle’s problem is as she goes through a radical attitude change towards the last part of School of Second Chances.
Sadly, there’s none of that except ruling out what’s not the problem.
Lost and Lonely is a very sweet tale of how they were adopted and adapting to their new family. I loved finding out how it went down and their adoptive parents make sense after discovering these kinds of kelpies in book #1.
It’s a literal magical fairytale adoption. It’s not this easy or grand in reality, but I’m willing to get that go because I love the HEA, the characters, and with magical peeps pulling the strings, anything can happen.
Since this follows Estelle’s human siblings and takes place integrated society, the most magic used is the Sutherland’s transformations. But it’s adorable!
Given Estelle’s trajectory I have a feeling these characters are going to come into play in the second book and getting to know them here is useful.
If you need warm and fuzzies after The School of Second Chances heart wrenching cliffhanger, you should definitely read this one right afterwards.
