Cadeyrn by Hazel Hunter

3.0

There was so much going on in this book and points of view from so many characters that I don't think I got a good feel for the two main protagonists. Their romance seemed to take a back seat to all the other things going on in the story. It was all very interesting but the romance did suffer a bit.

Lily Stover was abducted from our time and taken back to medieval Scotland by two crazy druids and some tree creatures formed as humans. She and four other women were abducted, beaten and fed only when someone remembered to feed them.

The women have druid ancestry which enables them to travel through ancient oak groves. The crazy male druid makes a deal with Lily that he would make sure the other women were cared for better if Lily travels through the nearby oak grove to find the woman who escaped and the Scaraven Clan with whom she resides.

Cadeyrn is the war master of the Scaraven Clan. They are immortal warriors and the only ones who can fight the famhairean, the psycho tree creatures who are devoted to the crazy druid couple. Cadeyrn dreamed of Lily even before he met her but all affection for her flees when she tricks him and he is captured by the famhairean and the crazy druids.

This book kept me glued to it except during the sex scenes. This author has the strangest sex scenes that I've ever read, and I have read thousands. I just skim over the weird parts and hope I don't miss anything vital to the story.

The plot is getting more complex and I can't wait to see what will happen next.
