Cailín by Rosalind Scarlett
3.0

Cailin is a very charming and easy flowing story. The great descriptions and very in depth characters were fascinating and fun to read. The story is a longer one, but throughout the pages I got to know Cailin's history and life in a very intimate way. Feeling very outcast by her family, she embarks on a journey of discovery that leads her unknowingly down a dark path. Her dreams haunt her and when one seems to come to life in the form of a very charming and handsome vampire - her life takes a very dramatic turn.

The relationship between Cailin and Donovan seem fated by the stars, but something felt a bit off at times in their interactions with each other that I couldn't quite put my finger on specifically. I think some of their dialog seemed a bit too formal, but that may have been the custom and intent.

One of the best things about the story, but something that does take a bit to get used to, is the writing style. The entire book is written in a Celtic dialect that takes a little while to get used to reading. Once you get into the rhythm of the writing it flows very beautifully. I can't imagine how much work it had to have taken to write the entire story that way, and it was fun to read something written in a style I had never read before.

There is a glossary included at the beginning of the book that covers the various terms that are used throughout the story, and I would recommend book marking it for when you come across the words for the first time.
