Intl. Multiple Award Winning, Bestselling Novel

"I love you," he murmured as the wisps of light returned to his body. What he didn't say was that his love came with a heavy price and life would never be the same again.

Twenty-six-year-old Ana Martin has a past she is trying to forget. When she meets Gabriel, she believes that she can finally leave her troubles behind her. But Gabriel has a secret...He may look human and be born of this world, but he is Siis - a race who evolved millions of years ago to a transcendent state, who now take solid form to hide among us.

When the homeless start dying at an abandoned Tannery, the police chalk it up to suicides. Ana knows differently. The Siis have a secret, a past mistake they would rather forget, one that puts Ana in more danger than she can ever comprehend.

Before long, she becomes a target for the Fae, once innocent children changed by the Siis thousands of years before. They can intensify and feed off the negative emotions of their prey, and are driven by malicious intent that has no bounds.

Can Ana survive the world of the Siis?

More importantly, can she do it with her mind still intact?

Night of the Fae is the first book in the Phoenix Rising Series, which follows Ana as she is drawn into the secret world of the Siis, an ancient race of empathic beings torn apart by war, treachery and the consequences of past actions.

Review

"Written with an energy and imagination that can leave you breathless, the Ana Martin series is a work of supreme fantasy and vision.
 
Boasting a likable, strongly realized heroine and a world that is at once fantastic and thrilling yet wholly believable, the Ana Martin series is one of those rare reading experiences that just draws you in and won't let you go until the final page is turned." - Bestselling Author, Shane Dunphy.  

Review Rating: 5 stars!Reviewed By Lit Amri for Readers' Favorite


I enjoyed the fast paced read. For the first volume of the series Lyneal Jenkins has done a remarkable job of piecing together a romantic fantasy adventure. The elements are there: the passion, the revelation, the twists and turns carefully positioned for the reader to easily grasp. Overall, this is a great read.

"Night of the Fae is a supernatural thriller with enough romance and intrigue thrown in to keep any reader turning pages at a fast clip. The narrative is tightly woven and compelling, moving at a fast pace while still allowing the reader to experience a true depth of characterization as they develop a full appreciation of the events as they take place.

The characters here are fully realized, vivid and alive, and often do surprising things that are very human, which can be rare. 

Ana has depth and reality to her and we can already start to see how she might change and grow." - Writer's Digest

Review Rating: 5 stars! Reviewed By Melinda Hills for Readers' Favorite

Well-paced and engaging, Night of the Fae by Lyneal Jenkins is the perfect supernatural/fantasy read. Ana, Gabriel and the other characters are carefully developed and realistic in spite of the supernatural nature of some of them. Following their love, hate and trials keeps the pages turning. It is quite easy to get caught up in the swirling emotions that allow you to feel what Ana is feeling. It is certainly well worth the time and is sure to please.

Review Rating: 4 Stars"I have read my share of Fae books before and I have to say that Lyneal Jenkins has created a whole different take on the world of the Fae. This book is full of different twists and turns and a great deal of angst to keep a reader interested. The characters are deep and have many layers so that you feel them coming off the page; they could be real. The flow of this book is good and makes for an easy read. I would recommend this book because it is a solid, entertaining story." - Readers' Favorite, Kathryn Bennett.

About the Author

Lyneal Jenkins was born in Shrewsbury, England in 1980. In 1996 she left home to become a Medic in the British Army.

After three years she resigned the forces to start a family and begin her work with learning disabilities, which is when she was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder.

After a failed marriage, she moved to Spain for eighteen months with her children, taking time to reflect on where she wanted her life to go.

Since returning to the UK, she began her studies towards becoming a Psychologist.

In February 2011 she sat down at the laptop with one sentence and a basic concept in mind, with no idea that she was embarking on the biggest project of her life.

Night of the Fae quickly became a novel and it wasn't long before detailed notes for the remaining Ana Martin books were drafted up.

To date, Lyneal is currently living with her partner in North Yorkshire along with their seven children. Each day is a balance between normal life and writing. She couldn't be happier. She is looking forward to writing many more books in the fantasy/scifi genre as this is where her passion lies.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

What can I say? I Love four things in this world, my family (including friends I’ve adopted as family), writing, reading, and chocolate. To live without any of them would be a tragedy.

I write because imaginary people jump into my head with the intention of living there rent free while they drive me nuts. Each story demands to be written, and I don’t get any peace if I’m not following orders. I don’t write clear cut character that are either bad or good. Every single one of them could be the hero of their own story. I merely pick a perspective and run with it (usually following the character who shouts the loudest).

I can’t promise happy endings. I stay true to life within the rules of the created world and, sadly, life is a cruel bitch. I would apologise, but seriously, I have very little control over the direction of the story. It’s that whole being true to life thing, and each one has a personality I can never control (they’re stubborn like that).

I hope you will laugh, curse, and grieve along with them, and would love to hear your experience, so please leave a review or send me a message.

Enjoy

Absolutely incredible book, the story and plot is like nothing I have ever came across before. The characters all have such a solid and in depth personality and their interactions with the story are very unique and original compared to most books. The writing in this story is also very unique, the author has a style that is very visually rich - showing you a picture instead of just telling you about what she is trying to express. The book is very entertaining and kept me captivated the whole way through but it also has some underlying meaningful themes that are incorporated into the story very well. There's a lot of twists and unexpected events that keep the book at an exciting pace, I think many different kinds of people could find this read enjoyable just because of that factor alone, but combined with all the other exceptional elements, I think that this book is going to impress a lot of readers from many different backgrounds.

I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I don't know what to say about this book. I hated it, I loved it, I liked it, I was bored. All these do not seem to give this book true justice. I had a hard time starting this book, but when I got about a tenth into it, the story took off and I really enjoyed it. So much, that I bought the next two books in succession and finished them also. (they all ended abruptly with cliff hangers)

The writing seemed to need a little editing and it had a lot of problems that all first books seem to have; but, I did enjoy it. It ended abruptly on a cliff hanger and although it was 300+ pages, it felt much smaller and I couldn't believe how quickly I finished it.

I do feel I should mention that it included a witch as one of the characters and I do not like that in my reads (personally). That and the porn video the main character (at the beginning) wants to make for her boyfriend caused me to bring down the stars by 5 to 4.

I found it quite hilarious; the main character was easy to relate to and fun to think about. Her personality and desires are similar to mine as well as relatable to anyone, and the way she thinks always has a hint of humour to it. The way she tries to be normal in this definitely NOT normal situation makes the book even more hilarious. The beginning is mind-boggling and although not mentioned for a little while after happening is kept in my mind while reading on. A guy confesses his love for the girl, but just past his surface is a deep, cavernous hole filled with secrets, horrible past deeds, a life he's hiding from her... Fast-paced, action packed, mysterious, full of humour, highly enjoyed and something that can be read again and again and never gets old. I truly enjoyed it and hope to read more by this author.

3.0 out of 5 stars Unique supernatural beings but Ana was too naive & romance aspect overshadowed supernatural element
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2015
Verified Purchase
My Review: A book that has a suspenseful element with a healthy dose of supernatural thrown in is right down my alley. In this first book in the Ana Martin series readers are given a crash course in Jenkin's rendition of all things Fae and it is quite unique. They aren't the cute little Tinkerbell-type pixies spreading joy and light. Faaaar from it! They are described as rather nasty, volatile and evil little beings who are out for revenge and blood. They provide a unique evil element with an intensely creepy factor.

With this new version of Fae the reader may need time and information to fully understand Jenkin's different view of the supernatural. Unfortunately I didn't find that a clear enough explanation was given so that I could grasp the idea of Fae and Siis. There were also fairly large gaps in the telling of the story in the first half of the book which gave the book a muddled feel. This unfortunately left me floundering to get a foot hold in the story.

Jenkins introduces some fairly unique characters to her readers. I loved Adam, Maria, Eris and yes, even Suraya (who brought some oomph to the story). Unfortunately Ana isn't a strong main character. For a twenty-six year old, her reactions and decisions felt very juvenile. She's the kind of girl in a horror movie would walk right into the creepy house even after someone was just murdered on that very spot. Putting herself in dangerous situations - ie. following a homeless man she barely knows into an abandoned building - didn't endear her to me.

I'm assuming that Ana was written as a weak, naive character because this is the beginning of a new series so the author is starting Ana off as a weaker character who will come into her own as the series progresses. I understand how readers like to see growth in their main characters but when a twenty-six year old woman makes such silly decisions that risk her life it's hard to get behind her.

Fans of supernatural romance will enjoy Ana's relationship with Gabriel. They bring a very strong romantic element to the book which almost overshadows the supernatural aspect. For me (who apparently lacks the romance gene) their relationship felt very co-dependent and didn't feel like a healthy relationship from the get-go. I never liked Gabriel because he came off as domineering and felt like their 'love' was more obsession. In fact, if I was given the choice she would have chosen another character to fall for.

I'm sad to say that I struggled with Night of the Fae. It took me a couple of weeks to get through the first half of the book but I also appreciate that Jenkins is trying to widen the idea of what makes up supernatural beings. She also ups the creepy factor with these evil, twisted little Fae who will make you shudder. I think with a clearer explanation at the beginning and less focus on the romantic element I would have been more eager to pick up the following books in this series.

My rating: 2.5 stars (increased to 3 stars for this site)

I have been in a book funk for a couple of weeks now... nothing I pick up keeps my interest until I opened this one. I was hesitant because of the different sounding fae. I L o v e d this book!! It was so different that it was fun to read. The author moved through time faster than I liked at times, and sometimes things were hurried and points skimmed over, but other than that it was great. I will be purchasing the next stories of Ana. I don't like spoilers so I am going to leave it there but... wow... different twist!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great new series
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 1, 2015

I was given a copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book and found myself delving back into it whenever I had a spare few minutes. I have read many fantasy stories and many involving fae. So much so that I usually become disgruntled with the standard set up that most seam to employ. Not so this time. I was far from bored. The Siis and the fae were described in fresh way. There is also a story for how the fae were created. I love that so much thought and detail had obviously been put into the book, but that it was not so overly laden to be cumbersome.

Details and backstory were dished out at key intervals and in just the right amounts to keep me hooked. The detail added to the feeling of being immersed in Ana's reality without being too heavy. I also liked that Adam was a complex guy who mistrusts Ana but is still there for her even when others that say they cared abandoned her.

I liked the relationship between Ana and Gabriel and I believed that they did genuinely fall in love. I was annoyed at Gabriel in the end. He refused to see what was in front of him. I know that he loves his daughter and she is all that was left of his life with dead wife, and that she was near death. However, that should not kill love. I was firmly on Ana's side and felt for her so much.

I am hoping that Gabriel comes to his senses in the next book, that someone gives him a metaphorical slap so that I am not constantly wanting to reach into the book and do it myself. For all Ana and Maria are lowly humans, they seem to have gotten their priorities in better order than the non humans.

As you can tell, I became invested in the characters and what becomes of them. Each character was well rounded and portrayed as unique. There were no stereotypes here. There was also great story telling with an original concept and a new way of looking at the fae. I thought that the writing was very competent and in a free easy style that suits me and is easy to understand. The pace was also very well done with no long winded gaps in action or plot twists, no long and boring journeys to other realms etc.

I also liked that fact that Ana got to keep her normal life throughout and after her experiences with the fae and siis. She had a job she kept, university studies and family that she kept up with. I was also tickled with idea of an immortal being who has powers but works construction. Lovely detail.

In short there was much to like about this book, and not really anything to complain about besides Gabriel at the end and that was personal irritation. I'm sure it is necessary to the plot in the series. Looking forward to getting to read the next book; Hidden Light.

This isn't my usual type of book, but it popped up as a recommendation for me and I thought i'd give it a try solely based on the fact the author shares a name with someone I used to know (and like). At first I did find it quite hard to suspend my disbelief as the main character is very accepting of sweeping changes to what she thinks are the facts of her life. But I came to really like Ana and once you accept the set up she finds herself in then the story flows well and kept me reading. I would look out for the next one, I agree with the review which said the ending is very abrupt, this is the case, if it wasn't part of a series I would have been annoyed. Overall a good, page-turning read, considerably better that Twilight which was the last 'fantasy' style book I read, Ana does have a few moments where I wanted to give her a shake but she is an older and more rounded character than Bella. If you are considering whether or not to buy it I'd say go for it.

Pros: Enjoyable read. Writing style kept me hooked and wanting to read the next bit.

Cons: It felt a bit short to me. Not just that I read it quick, it needed more padding to the story somehow.

Warnings: 1. The characters feel a little bit close to those from Charmed, though the story is much darker. Think “Leo gets together with phoebe”, but the ending of this installment makes me think the story will move away from that closeness to Charmed.
2. The first half is kind of soppy for a fantasy book (strays heavily into romantic fiction). It does add to the story so bear with it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Night of the Fae
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 27, 2014

Really ranking should b 3.5 not 3.
A different take on the urban fantasy market. Ana Martin is a bipolar student/care assistant who falls in love with a Siis and this brings considerable trouble to her door in the shape of the Fae, The Fae are a rather nasty band of "children" who feast on the sadness of others, causing humans to do things in desperation, such as commit suicide or kill others.
Ana's bipolar mood is evident throughout the book her mood swings affected further by her love Gabriel's empathic nature. Gabriel is a Siis an ancient empathic race hiding a secret which has resulted in a "war" with the Fae.
The book is written in the first person mode and although i found the storyline good, it was difficult to get into. I also found Ana annoying, the mood swings, I understand a key element of the storyline, became a bit overdone and left me feeling here we go again - same thing different day. I also found Ana's attachment to Gabriel and visa a versa became tedious, it was discussed constantly. The book also has a very abrupt ending, the reader is not just left hanging but thinking that perhaps the omitted the last page of the book, as there is no conclusion.
It is worth a read but not top of my hit period.

Took me a while to adapt to being able to follow the writing style, though I did eventually - then breezed through reading in a few days.
The plot unfolds well and is not so easily predicted which was refreshing.
Certainly will read the next book as this one felt like there was not enough story. So I'm pleased to see the second instalment is out already.
