Location: UK		Have been reading some fascinating stuff towwards my 50 books for the year.
4. Laurell K Hamilton - A Kiss of Shadows
A fn read about a Fae princess who has been hiding among mortals from her murderous relatives.Wonderful descriptions of the glittering FaeDark Court court.In this genre usually I find it a bit odd when Irish beings of myth are wandering around in modern day America,but Hamilton had an ingenious solution.Apparently Thomas Jefferson invited the Fae to live in US when things were getting too hot in Europe,and allowed them to take over themagical Mounds of Cahokia,,Missourian they built their fairy mound ther after ousting native magical beasts.Hamilton before she turned to soft porn. See review.

5. Franny Billinsley - The Folk Keeper.
Excellent YA tale of a girl whose job it is to placate the fairies on an estate.No glamorous creatures here.They are just hungry vicious creatures who will harm crops and animals if not placated.Waiting impatiently for Dave to add this to WWEnd as it is a fine choice for the YA challenge.

6. Richard Matheson - Hell House
A classic of the horror genre,about a group of people who go to explore a notorious haunted house where many people died,suicided or went mad investigating.Not all will leave the houseMy review is on the February blog if you are interested.
