Imagine a world where you could escape to when life seems to be heading down a path that you do not enjoy. Livy at a young age is introduced to fairies and a fairy land that helped her especially when her parents divorced. Her mom decided to "homeschool" her but her mom also has a drinking and drug problem. Life seemed to be moving along until Child Protective Services arrives at their doorstep and removes Livy from her mom's and she has to move in with her dad and step mom. Livy is not fond of her stepmother and the parenting style at their house and often escapes to her fairy land or does she? One might question is this true magical realism or a mental breakdown!
Stevens did a fantastic job in world building. I could often imagine exactly what was happening and felt a lot of compassion for Livy. I was captivated from the beginning and could not wait to see how this story ended. This book does contain several trigger issues that are discussed throughout this book. Livy's life is turned upside down when her parents divorced but shortly after moving into her dads house things begin to change. Stevens does a great job with character development. Livy truly is a strong young lady who learns to stand up for herself and learns to overcome and love. Stevens creative writing certainly shows and I totally enjoyed reading Fairy Ring. This was my first time reading a book by Jacque Stevens and can't wait to read other books.
I did receive this book for an honest review.
