Review: See Me by Wendy Higgins

While most seventeen-year-old American girls would refuse to let their parents marry them off to a stranger, Robyn Mason dreams of the mysterious McKale in Ireland, wondering how he’ll look and imagining his cute Irish accent. Prearranged bindings are common for magical families like her own, however when she travels to the whimsical Emerald Isle she discovers there’s more to her betrothal and McKale’s clan than she was led to believe. 

What starts as an obligatory pairing between Robyn and McKale morphs over time into something they both need. But one giant obstacle stands in the way of their budding romance: a seductive and deadly Fae princess accustomed to getting what she wants—and what she wants is McKale as her plaything. Love, desire, and jealousies collide as Robyn’s family and McKale’s clan must work together to outsmart the powerful Faeries and preserve the only hope left for their people.

(YA Urban Fantasy, Romance, Magical Realism, Irish Folklore)

Cover Love: So pretty and Irish!

Genre: Says above.

Overview:

Going into this, I needed something happy to read, and this did not disappoint! It was a great and fun read! I loved Robyn, even though at times she irritated me just a tad with some of her thoughts. I loved Cassady, her sister. And McKale was a good character as well. I loved the family's devotion to each other and the Clan and all the other characters!

Romance:

Robyn and McKale are going to get married, or 'bound' as the Clan says. And I love this idea, so many YA book these days don't support this sort of thing. Robyn and McKale share a lot of kisses and dancing before they're actually bound though, this was a little upsetting, but nothing other than that happened until their wedding night, which you don't read. It was a very sweet romance. And Cassady her sister gets involved with another person, and things happen, but you don't read about those either.

Language:

There's a little swearing, Cassady is very fond of it, I must say. But nothing over the top, and even though swearing is bad on all accounts, these words weren't as strong as others.

Violence:

No violence! Yay! Just some conflict between Faeries and stuff, you know, the usual.

Religion:

Just fantasy and folklore.



I loved this book! The other books by Wendy weren't sweet as this one, and I was glad to see she could write something as sweet as this. And she always self published this! I recommend it to anyone! A very sweet read. Makes you freak out and smile! Also a very short and fast read.

Rating: 4.75 stars out of 5!
