Set in the 1990's at Trinity College, Dublin, The Exorcism of Faeries encompasses age-gap romance, forbidden romance, professor/student relationship, faeries and fae. I could not put this book down. Jl Vampa's writing has a wonderfully, addictive fluidity to eat that will have you losing yourself amd surrendering you day to this book. This is not a story for those wanting Tinkerbell-like 'fairies'. This is a book that demonstrates the darkness of 'faeries'.

Everything. The pace, the slow revelations, the characters... It makes you want to scream at the protagonist, at the antagonist, at yourself. I had to force myself to put it down, on a daily basis.

The beautiful way it was written. I loved the use of analogies.

It’s a sort of hybrid fiction/non-fiction text based on the mystery surrounding the Franklin expedition to find the North West Passage. It’s more riveting than it sounds.

The way Madeline Miller writes Circe is absolutely stunning. A strong and complex character who is someone you can understand even when she doesn’t something so against what you would. A strong woman who didn’t let her trauma take her down, who used it to forge something to protect both herself and others. A character who at times I didn't like, but always respected.
