Currently, I am only 15 chapters into the first book of Addergoole, but it’s a fascinating read. There are quite a few reads on the internet that cover fae-in-high-school or the magical coming-of-age style of story, but Addergoole is definitely one of the most sophisticated of these stories.

The basic storyline follows three youngsters who have recently joined the Addergoole School, whose students and staff all have ‘special abilities’. Over the course of the story, we discover that the denizens of Addergoole are all different kinds of fae, and that the students are to be trained in their various powers.

At this stage in the book, more sinister goings on are hinted at in the background. The book is well paced, and the characters are believable within their situation. There is an element of sexual tensions and dealing with sexuality as a theme, but unlike other serials, you’re never slapped in the face with it. Readers are made aware of it, but the writing is always very clever.

As of writing this review, I still have another two and a half books ahead of me, but I am certainly looking forward to ploughing through them!
