Product Description:
A Sidhe warrior in exile. A young man with powers he's only beginning to understand. In their hands, the fate of two worlds. A childhood encounter with one of the Sidhe sets Joseph Vines' life on a fateful course. Unable to forget the beautiful creature who promised to one day return for him, Joey spends the next twenty years learning, dreaming and waiting. Braeden Shay, a warrior of the Sidhe, has spent those same twenty years watching Joey from a distance, waiting for Joey's heritage to make itself known. When the time is ripe, Braeden steps in to protect Joey from those trying to kill him, and to help him deal with the changes turning his life inside out. During the days that follow, as Braeden teaches Joey to harness and control his newfound power over the natural world, Joey finds himself falling for the gentle, patient Braeden. Braeden, who has watched over Joey for most of his life, is already deeply in love with him. When the forces targeting Joey for death catch up with them, it will take all their magic-and the power of their love for each other-to survive, and to save both their worlds. Warning, this title contains the following: explicit male/male sex, graphic language, violence, and inappropriate use of plants.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Enjoyable
I read the book once and then when back and re-read it, just to make sure I hadn't missed anything and I hadn't. I loved the book but I felt that the character of Braeden wasn't completely developed. For instance I don't know how old Braeden is exactly and what kind of life he led prior to his forced exile. I would have liked to see more about Evangeline (Joseph mom's) past. The story is truly enjoyable but the plot could have been developed a bit more.
Rating:  - Better Than the Cover Would Indicate
Not especially original, but fairly well written nonetheless. Both characters are fairly masculine--which makes me wonder about the excessively twee cover! Anyway, there is a nice sweetness about this book that surprised me. I appreciated the restraint of the "fairy" character, and was amused by the rather coarse, but charming, half-human kid. Making him biracial was rather a nice touch; fairies probably aren't racist, and abduct people of every color!

Rating:  - Wonderful Fantasy
The first time Joey Vines sees Braeden Shay, a Sidhe warrior, he is five years old. Braeden tells him that he is a faery but Joey's mother has the strangest reaction before warning him that faeries do not exist and he should not talk to him again. Braeden appears in Joey's room the next night as a firefly/faery and he is enchanted and in awe of him; when he is allowed to touch his wings he is so moved the event changes his life. Braeden promises to return for him when he's ready to assume his heritage ... Read More
Rating: - FIREFLIES by Ally Blue
This is a good book. If you like fairies, you will most likely enjoy this story. It is original, full of interesting characters, and has an engaging plot. Though its length keeps it from being as satisfying as a full-length novel, it is still a quality read.
I love Ally Blue's imagery. She paints beautiful pictures with her words and invokes powerful emotions. She writes deeply thought-provoking prose. Personal touches like her trademark melancholy prose and original mythology help this book ... Read More
Rating: - Fireflies by Ally Blue
When I read about sex between faery (of the original genre, with faery wings...) I always ask to myself: how can they lay back? the wings are not uncomfortable? Sooo, a lit of magic goes away when I think so, but Ally Blue has found a really interesting alternative to the problems... but you have to read the book to know what.
Joey is an halfling fae. His father is an evil unselie, and he is fated to kill him. He doens't know nothing except that, when he was 5 years old a beautiful fae man, Braeden, ... Read More
