Review
"Ren Faire kookiness, mystical adventure story with environmental overtones, a father and daughter getting to know each other, a girl carving her identity between two worlds..."
Product Description
In the third book of the popular and critically acclaimed "Faire Folk Trilogy", sixteen year-old Keelie Heartwood reluctantly joins her father in the Dread Forest, home to the elves and her fearsome elf grandmother. Keelie's budding romance with Sean is dashed, her 'real' friends are gone, and her dad is preoccupied with the responsibilities of being Lord of the Forest. Except for her impossible guardian cat Knot, and Alora, a demanding and bratty little princess tree, Keelie has no one to hang with - unless you count the nasty elf-girl Elia, who suddenly wants to be Keelie's friend (or frenemy). Then Keelie discovers a mysterious boy in the woods...Both humans and dark magical forces encroach on the elves' enchanted realm, threatening to destroy the Dread Forest and all who dwell within it. Meanwhile, an age-old rift within her family and among the elven community reaches a dangerous climax.

The Faire Folk, July 7 2009
By E. Spencer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Secret of the Dread Forest (Paperback)
I really liked this book, for all ages. The story line and plot kept you wanting to read more. I liked that the trees were not only able to talk but that they all had different personalities. I am sure that people can relate to many of the things Keelie had to deal with. I like it when the story makes it hard for you to tell the good character from the bad. It makes me have to pay attention to the story plot. I am looking forward to the next set of books.

a truely enjoyable book !, Aug 5 2011
By Celeste C. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Secret of the Dread Forest (Paperback)
One thing I enjoyed about this book was it was chocked full of information about keelie's world. Although I loved the first two, there where times when something would be mentioned but not fully explained. It is a great story about keelie winning the hearts of her elven community by bringing balance to the magic of their forest. I really enjoyed all the characters. Especially alora, her spoiled complaints along with her childlike wisdom are really enjoyable . I am fourteen and I have a sister who is twelve. Neither of us can get enough of this series! . It is equally proportioned between adventure, romance, comedy, and great characters.
It is great for any one who likes Harry Potter.

A favorite series of mine, Aug 4 2011
By Kristen M. Harvey "The Book Monsters" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Secret of the Dread Forest (Paperback)
Why I read this: I loved the first two books in this trilogy, so I had to read this one.
Plot: The last book of the trilogy, The Secret of Dread Forest does not disappoint. Keelie now has to face her formidable grandmother, who loathes her deceased mother as well as seems to dislike her because she is only half elf. Not only does she have to face her grandmother, but a vampire. Vampires are different in this world - they are fey that no longer are true to their nature. Also, the Dread that keeps humans out of the forest is in danger, and, in turn, so are the fey that live there.
Characters: I really love Keelie. She's definitely outspoken and, at times, speaks before thinking. She has to adjust to more changes, but puts up with the situation the best she can. She holds grudges, loves easily, and sometimes trusts too easily. I like that she is not perfect, but hardheaded enough to help even when told not to.
Relatability: Anyone who has dealth with loss/love/or adjusting to a new home can relate to this series.
Cover Commentary: I like it - the covers in the series follow the theme of the book nicely.
Listmania!
