This is the first I have read of Ellie O'Neill and it was quite an enjoyable read.

It did take me a little while to get into the story, but once I did, I kept right at it.

Maeve has become a bit superficial and a lot self indulged over the past couple of years, and when she does wrong by her best friend and roommate, and her boss sends her on an unusual work assignment, things start to change.

The island she is sent to is quite bizarre. Strange things are afoot at Hy Brasil. The island, the people are all unfriendly.

But at the same time, there is something about the place that brings out the best in Maeve. As much as this is a romance story, this is more a story of Maeve rediscovering herself.

The Enchanted Island straddles the line between a paranormal kind of read and a romance. It neither gets too dark and mystical nor too sweet and cutesy

I loved the characters - particularly the "non-islanders". The islanders, not so much!

I enjoyed Maeve's burgeoning relationship with Killian, and would really like to know what happens after the end of this book.

This is my first Ellie O'Neill read, but I would definitely read more in the future
