A Colloquy on Books

This review was requested by the author. Beware of the spoilers to Into the Fairy Forest  that lurk beyond this message...

Even though Pan is the one that brought her into this mess, there is nothing that Pippa wants more than to run right into his arms.  When I was approached by J.M. Stephen to read Into the Fairy Forest, I was excited. I had previously read Nod and I had enjoyed it even though it wasn’t the kind of book that I would have picked up by myself. When I read the blurb for this book, I realized this one was up my alley...
