My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It's awesome!!!

Breen Kelly grew up believing her Father abandoned her, weighed down by debt and a job as a teacher that she hates her only solace comes from hanging out with her best friend Marco (gay) and Sally (also gay and like a Mother to her) at Sally's Gay bar. Then she discovers the fact that her Mother (Jennifer) has been hiding a fortune from her that her Father sent.

Breen uses the money to go to Ireland (with Marco at first). After Marco leaves a cute pup Bollocks arrives at the cottage and she follows him through the tree to another world (Talamh) She meets her Grandmother Marg (a witch) and her lover Sedric (were-cat). She discovers that it was Sedric who was following her around Philadelphia and who helped her discover the money her Mom was keeping from her. She meets Keegan the leader of her people who was raised by her Father after his own Father died saving Breen. Breen learns that she was kidnapped by her Grandfather Odran (a god) when she was three and that many of the Talamh gave their life to rescue her. And that she is the key to saving both her worlds. Keegan begins training her for battle.

When she returns to Philadelphia Keegan is upset with her as he doesn't really believe she will come back. Keegan is also in love with her. Faced with the fact time is running out for Talamh Keegan opens a portal in Philadelphia and hopes to talk Breen into coming back with him. There he learns that Breen was already making plans to return, she was just telling everyone goodbye and getting her book deal (she has started writing books) in place. Keegan meets Marco and Sally and wins them over. But Marco realizes Breen is upset so he follows them back to the apartment and mistakes an emotional moment for a disagreement and barges in to confront Keegan. In order to diffuse the situation Breen tells Marco the truth and when Keegan opens a portal Marco follows them in..

I can't wait for the next book in the series.
