Things are moving along fairly well until her handsome and mysterious academic rival arrives unexpectedly all the way from Cambridge to offer his assistance in her research. With only her dog Shadow for companionship, she gets straight to work, fighting the frozen elements at every turn. She’s a genius scholar, engrossed in her life’s work, and doesn’t have time to make friends with the quirky human townsfolk, who seem to have more secrets than the Hidden Ones themselves. Emily is writing the world’s first encyclopedia of faerie lore. It’s a cute, cozy fantasy about a young, introverted Cambridge professor named Emily Wilde, who embarks on her toughest field work yet: collecting data during the harshest part of winter about the illusive faeries residing on a remote Scandinavian island. I was pleasantly surprised to discover the author lives in my neck of the woods, on Vancouver Island. I don’t often read fantasy novels, so I didn’t expect to like this book as much as I did.
