{my thoughts} – This book is about two sisters Evangeline and Jade. They are both fire elemental witches. Evangeline however is part Faerie and her sister Jade is human. This causes some troubles for the girls when their mother passes away and they are left to co-depend on one another. Evangeline {Evie} has bad headaches that her sister Jade helps her to deal with but they both understand the only true way to make them go away is for her to go into the Faerie woods. Eventually she gives in and they go. At this point they both meet a Faerie guy in which they become involved with, however the one Jade meets has an odd belief in what a relationship truly means. If you want to know what happens to Jade and Evie you will need to read this short book. It is well written, it is engaging and it leaves you with a few questions.

{reason for reading} - There are three reasons for reading this book. The author had given me a copy in return for a review, I received a copy through netgalley in return for a review and I had downloaded it for free through amazon. ( )

Wish there was more background on the relationships. Seemed cut short. It was probably interesting. Not bad, just want it a little bit longer. I was just getting into it and then, it just ended. Poop ( )

I read the first book in this series last year, my first book from Netgalley (oh, the memories). However, I have since collected this prequel as well as the second book from Amazon/Smashwords and was planning on reading them for some time. Starting with Evangeline.

It's a very short story in which there isn't too much to be told. It's hard to really rate a short story without putting it in the bigger picture. However, I thought it was quite a nice introduction but for one thing: there was so much emphasis on the fact that she was different that it really annoyed me. Even though the story was very short.

I'm still planning to read the second book, Ever Fire some time soon.

Evangeline is a short prequel story to the Dark Faerie Tale series. The other books in this series are Ever Shade, Ever Fire, Ever Winter, The Cursed, Ever Wrath, History of Fire, Ever Dead and Legends of Fire. ( )

Evangeline (A Dark Faerie Tale, #0.5) BY Alexia Purdy

This is a short story and the prequel to Ever Shade. We learn what happened to Evangeline and her sister Jade. We are introduced to the magical land of Fairie.

A nice short story , with a good introduction to the Dark Faerie Series.
I really enjoyed it, and feel that fantasy lovers will enjoy Evangelineas well. I look forward to reading Ever Shade also by Alexia Purdy. ( )
