This book SUCKED, lowkey the half star is only for Menolly, who was BARELY IN IT even though she was the best character, and the plot that had potential if there weren’t so many characters and love interests and random sexy descriptions.

Ok. So,I haven't actually finished this book and maybe when I get desperate I will pick it up again, but, it is being shelved for now. I am not blaming this book. It is as well written as a lot of the other books I have read. Sometimes a writer just puts something in that makes me stop wanting to read the story. In Witchling you have really bad things happening that the lead character is suppose to be trying to prevent and she decides right in the middle of all this to go lingerie shopping. Yes, is it ridiculous that I can suspend belief and read about fairies , witches and vampires, but can't handle somebody going shopping for lingerie in the middle a possible apocolypse.

It took me way too long to get into this book and even then I didn’t really care about any of the characters or what was happening
First of three books, dealing with half-fae, half-human sisters, living Earthside. Of course, the fae are known on Earth, so they are minor celebrities locally, despite being half-human. This book is told from Camille's POV, who is a rather incompetent witch. Another sister is a were-cat, who turns not only during a full moon, but also during stressful times, and the third sister was turned into a vamp against her will - but it is unclear what her powers were, if any, before that.
All three sisters work for the fae police force, basically, and all have jobs on earth that act as fronts for it - Camille runs a bookstore, Delliah is a private detective, and Menolly works as a bartender. Not quite sure how if Delliah is a private detective and lives with Camille, who allows the local fairy fan club to follow her around and take pictures, this effects Delliahs business, but whatever.
The first book starts with a giant getting murdered, and of course, there ends up being this huge plot that will destroy both the earth and the fae world and ONLY these three bumbling outcasts from both worlds can stop it.
Of course.
Oh I did I mention that the Fae world is falling apart because the Queen and the nobility is addicted to opium? Really! Opium. Because its the FAE and thats the best they can do. Is OPIUM addiction.
Ok, so, anyway, of course, they save everything. But only sort of. At least only sort of enough to guarantee another two books.
Oh, and there is, indeed, a love triangle. Between the (quite literally) tall, dark and handsome - and dangerous; and the "good guy." My god. Imagine that.
And a dragon. And crone in the woods. Can't forget those.
And after all these cliches and every "been there, done that"
plot points, the ultimate problem with the book is that it is flat. The characters are just so...we are talking "balloon with the air let out of them," so that when I started reading the sneak preview of the second book, I had a hard time telling that I had started reading a new book.
Until I went "Oh, her tail is stuck in a burr patch, so I guess this is now the cat, and not the witch, got it!"
So yeah, when I can't tell the difference between the three main characters, its flat. Way flat.

I loved this first book of the series! Chamille is really a great character and I enjoyed a lot this story overall. Some might call it cheap, I call it distracting and fun! I am already at the fourth book of the series!
Witchling was an okay read. It could have been better but it was not terrible, sometimes a little boring. I believe that the series has the promise of becoming great if the author goes in the right direction. I will give the second book a try.
So boring, uninteresting characters and really foolish characters. The storyline dragged on, the romance was stupid.
I've tried 3 times to get through Witchling, and I just could not do it. I got to chapter 12 this time before I gave up listening to the audiobook, which luckily I got free from the library. I just could not get into the story. I give up... it's going on the did-not-finish shelf
