A Crack In Everything by Ruth Frances Long

A Crack In Everything is a paranormal romance about a young girl named Isabel Gregory better known throughout the book as Izzy.  Izzy discovers that a secret world in which the Fae live co-exists with her own. She becomes tangled up with that world as events are set in motion when she chases a thief down an alleyway in Dublin and disastrous consequences ensue. 

This book ticks all the boxes for me. It has memorable and intriguing characters, it incorporates Irish folklore, has a strong female character despite the romantic elements and is cleverly written. Not to give anything away but it also has no real major cliff hanger at the end despite a sequel being in the works which is refreshing.

I always feel that the mark of a good book is when despite whatever category it has been put into it is still enjoyable to a much wider audience. I feel that this book is for young and old despite being categorized as YA.

I have spoken to and read reviews from a number of different people ranging from young adults to the mature readers and have not yet come across anything negative . The only issue seems to be that they wish they could start it all over again for the first time and having finished it yesterday I am inclined to agree with them. I look forward to the sequel and reading more of Izzy's adventures in the years to come. 

Its a big thumbs up from me.
