Of Blood and Honey: A Book of the Fey and the Fallen by Stina Leicht
5.0
Of Blood and Honey is a beautifully written, powerful book.
The book is set in Northern Ireland in the 1970s, and follows the young adulthood of Liam Kelly. Liam is a troubled young man whose father abandoned his mother when Liam was a baby.
What Liam doesn't know is that his father isn't human.
Liam is caught up in a police net around rioters (the Troubles were in full swing at this time) and taken to prison without trial. While there, he learns things about himself that will change him forever.
The book is an engaging read, full of fully realized characters and emotionally charged situations. Leicht clearly did her homework on the situation in Northern Ireland for this book. In addition to his eldritch heritage, Liam must learn to deal with love, loss, the IRA, his stepfather, and a meddlesome Catholic priest.
I strongly recommend this book.
