Synopsis (Goodreads):
New York Times bestselling author Lilith Saintcrow returns to dark fantasy with a new series where the fairy world inhabits diners, dive bars and trailer parks.Thoughts on Trailer Park Fae: I've been reading a variety of fae-centric books lately and this one comes out on top as the darkest of the group. Not in a bad way, but in a HOLY WOW this world is gritty and the underhanded dealings of the fae are fantastically diabolical and THINGS are never as they seem. Which are all things I enjoy in a fae-centered book, so I was ALL IN.
Jeremy Gallow is just another construction worker, and that's the way he likes it. He's left his past behind, but some things cannot be erased. Like the tattoos on his arms that transform into a weapon, or that he was once closer to the Queen of Summer than any half-human should be. Now the half-sidhe all in Summer once feared is dragged back into the world of enchantment, danger, and fickle fae—by a woman who looks uncannily like his dead wife. Her name is Robin, and her secrets are more than enough to get them both killed. A plague has come, the fullborn-fae are dying, and the dark answer to Summer's Court is breaking loose.
Be afraid, for Unwinter is riding...
Gallow is a mess. A half-human, half-fae who turned his back on the Summer Court, he's stuck in an endless rut of grief and remembrance. When Robin shows up, looking so much like Gallow's dead wife he can't help but follow her to see if there's a connection, she upends his life even more. Suddenly the man who wanted nothing to do with the fae is right in the thick of things.
For her part, Robin is only trying to protect the one thing she cares for when she steps into the human world on the order of the Queen. Robin's the one I think I feel the most for. She's systematically had everything stripped from her time and again. The power in her voice makes her a commodity, her ability to make things real makes her a rarity that puts her in a weird place.
A lot of secrets are uncovered, but there are a lot more still festering under the surface. I've already queued up book 2 to see how things progress for these two and the warring, plague-ridden Courts.
