My Solace (Bewitched and Bewildered Book 11)
For thousands of years Oron ViโEirson has lived each day trying to keep the pain and devastation caused by his family from hurting his precious baby brother. But despite his best efforts his past has come back to haunt him, placing not only Darian and Amelia in harmโs way, but also his newly found mate.
Isabelle Campbell, or as she likes to be called, Izzy, is a mess. She knows this. Itโs never intentional, but somehow her curiosity always seems to run away from her. When her latest gaffe lands her homeless and fired from her favorite barista job she is left little choice but to accept the kindness of some of her favorite customers, little did she know that by doing so, she would find herself starting the biggest adventure of her life!
With kindred spirit Meryn at her side, Izzy takes on the entire fae city to protect the heart of the kindest man she has ever met. If the golden fae think they can get away with hurting her mate, they are sorely mistaken. After all, her new friend likes to electrocute people.
When facing your greatest fear means facing your family, is there any escape? Can Izzy help Oron stand against all odds?

I love that we are continuing this journey into a new city. Definitely some shocking moments in this book. I will agree with others about typos etc, but even with that, these couples, this humor.... these books would make for great television as these one liners or scenes of comedy are really perfect.

I have been waiting for this book for so long. The main characters from all the other books are back (Meryn is my book hero). I love how Alder kept the series going further while still introducing new characters that makes the series feel current and not stale which can often happen with series that have this many books. The new characters are so much fun and keep making the series different while still staying true to its core story line. Like with all the women in the series, each new femal...
I have been waiting for this book for so long. The main characters from all the other books are back (Meryn is my book hero). I love how Alder kept the series going further while still introducing new characters that makes the series feel current and not stale which can often happen with series that have this many books. The new characters are so much fun and keep making the series different while still staying true to its core story line. Like with all the women in the series, each new female is quirky, fun, and not scared to stand up for themselves and what is right. They are not meek, shy or able to be pushed around in away, they kick butt and fall in love at the same time. The men are strong alpha males who are not scared to admit they don't know anything and are complete softies for the ones they love. Even the side characters are funny and add so much to the story( where can I get my own sprite or brownie). I would give this book and the entire series a hundred stars if I could.

I have been really excited to move on to Eire Danu, itโs not that I didnโt love the other two cities, but there is just something about the Fae that I love so much. Plus I knew their city was going to be super magical. This book was a really good opening to the city, and Iโm excited to see where it goes from here.
The things I liked:
I really liked Izzy, she reminds me of Amelia and Meryn, but also in a unique way. She was so Uber protective of Oron almost right away and I loved that about ...I have been really excited to move on to Eire Danu, itโs not that I didnโt love the other two cities, but there is just something about the Fae that I love so much.

The things I liked:
I really liked Izzy, she reminds me of Amelia and Meryn, but also in a unique way. She was so Uber protective of Oron almost right away and I loved that about her. She really was an act first ask questions later kind of girl. I also really liked the friendship she struck up with Meryn. I loved all the backstory in this book. We have always know something was different about Meryn, and in this book we finally get all the answers we were looking for. Itโs both heartbreaking but satisfying. We already know Oronโs backstory, but in this book we really get a look at Oronโs pain, and how he sees himself, and itโs really impactful. The magic in this book was amazing, we was all the new races we get introduced to. We get to learn more about Sprites. We get to see brownies and Goblins and see what their culture is like too. We get to meet the super cool guardians, which was awesome. And I really liked the pub.
Things I didnโt like:
The queen bummed me out. Okay thatโs not fair, she bummed me out towards the end, youโll understand when you read it. Up until that point I really like her and her interactions and itโs clear she was a great mom and sheโs a great ruler. Other than that I really have no complaints.
Great start to these next couple of books.

So where do you begin to review this book. At the start is when it all begun and for that you need to know Meryn.
Everything we learn is about each mating and how Meryn fits into a puzzle that with this book just made some things so clear - and then makes you want the next book.
Now I can understand the little wait for My Solace.
When I started this book, seriously it felt like I came home. These characters are family to me. So reading about them made me feel all warm and happy inside.
Ms...So where do you begin to review this book. At the start is when it all begun and for that you need to know Meryn.

Now I can understand the little wait for My Solace.
When I started this book, seriously it felt like I came home. These characters are family to me. So reading about them made me feel all warm and happy inside.
Ms Alder, that first chapter or two, had me in so much tears... and I was hurting inside (just letting you know). To see that emotionally Meryn has grown to allow her brothers into her heart - loved that. But also to see that a tiny "human" could bring together different supernatural beings, just amazing - that is one of Meryn's super powers.We already know Oron as he and Darian are brothers and children of the Fae queen. Oron has a dark past and with this book we learn a bit more. Do note that Oron is an honorable male - and I fell for him so hard, but Kendrick is still my man, oh and Law.
Izzy is such an amazing woman. She is like our Meryn, she understands Meryn. She has good intentions, but sometimes it leads to not such good outcomes.
I love the way she protects and love Oron, with no hesitation. She saw how people treated him and when she had the opportunity to confront them, well it was hilarious and trust me, Meryn was not very far from that scenario.The two of them (Meryn and Izzy) can't stay out of trouble. When you say don't do it, you just as well tell them they have to do it. That led them to an interesting path and well, while Ryuu is with them, Meryn is bound to be protected any way.
We learn about so many things, Meryn learn about herself. She is definately more than anyone thought. Oron gets a few surprises. They receive special blessings and all those goodies.
And regardless of all that, Meryn is still our little Menace. There are such a lot of revelations and new developments my head spun a bit.
I loved this book and with each book Ms Alder just gets better and better.
I love that with the delevopment of each bonding, the couple get they story while the true main character, Meryn, has her intricate story unfolding as well. And don't forget that her mate, Aiden, is always there for her. In the good, sad and crazy times. Such a good mate. And don't forget our handsome Ryuu that would protect his charge with everything in him. He is so amazing.
We have so many of our older characters back and like I said, its like coming home. Keelan is not forgotten, ever. But he will get his chance, I believe in this.
The fae is in for the ride of their lives! Meryn is there and nothing will ever be the same again.
