Fae Hunter is a Young Adult/New Adult Fantasy novel Book 1.

I very much like Alastru(Allie), but I don't care for the people of Skundtown. Her mother is such a caring and loving mother who is also forced to deal with a town turning on her as well because of what's happening. Allie and her mother don't deserve the s*** the people keep blaming them for, but I guess living in a medieval like time period where people only like you enough so long as things go right and you play the part THEY prefer you to play only to quickly turn on you once things go bad. It's frustrating and annoying, but Alastru actually makes me bare it with how clever and quick witted she is. Not to mention, her banter with her fae prisoner was pretty good. They were interesting and made me chuckle a few times lol. The series is complete at 5 books long and I recommend this book if you want a female protagonist who is strong, or strong willed as I should say, clever, and quick witted while also having such patience to deal with a ungrateful, cowardly village, but is also a teenage girl who also gets bothered when such hateful words actually hurt and "friends" who easily abandoned her once things get tough. I like that, Alastru can be strong, but she's also human. I think other readers will enjoy following her story so far. Also, I very much recommend just collecting the series as a whole, because that cliffhanger SUCKS! Lol.
