Long Black Curl

I was not in love with book 2 of this series, but book 3 won me back. Helps that I read it in a log house in the Smoky Mountains too, but also it has more interesting and less incestuous storylines. It's maybe the most violent, brutal, and fae episode yet. It features the return of Bronwyn in an important if not lead role, an exploration of what it's like to be Mandalay, and a really vicious female villain with a morally complex British manservant. Every character, really is incredibly complicated and fascinating. Don't read this without having read the other two, but do read this series if the words Appalachian fairies sound interesting.
