Of the Clan O'Grady by A.M. Riley

[reviews_and_ramblings]

A little treasure of an alternative world. Why alternative? Because in a modern New York, the banshee of the Clan O'Grady is a man, and the faery is also a man, Maeebsef.

Maeebsef was a Gianes, a rare fey breed: in a matriarchal society Maeebsef was cherished and pampered like a victorian maiden, fated to marry a dominant woman and be a beautiful ornament for her house. But Maeebsef is different from his brothers, and he learns too much to be passive. But he is also naivee and inexperienced of the outside world from his grove and he gets lost on the big city. O'Grady finds him and suddently the mourning man begins to feel happiness and joy in the arms of this fey. It's Maeebsef's charm or it's love?

Maeebsef is like a child in a candy store: all his new and forbidden for him, but when he tries the chocolate, how he can renunce to it? And O'Grady is like a big chocolate cake for him. O'Grady is a bear: big and growling, but tender and caring for this little man so beautiful and innocent. Maeebsef is vulnerable, he doesn't have the appropriate armour for the real world, so strange and careless, and O'Grady will be his knight in shining armour. But when the matter in question will be love, both Maeebsef and O'Grady will be greenhorns...

I have great expectation for this story and I'm satisfy. It's short and enjoyble, very fresh and naivee. The author doesn't indulge herself in the myth, giving unnecessary details that could be bother the reader, but she uses them with cleverness, creating a mythical world living in the mid of New York City.
