Life used to be simple. I was a city girl with humble dreams. Then Dylan O'Dea broke into my flat, held me against the wall and told me to stay quiet. It was like in the movies, where the universe zeros in on a single scene. I looked into his eyes and knew he was going to change me. For Dylan, the sky was always falling. He showed me how our world is a contradiction of beauty and ugliness. How we choose to ignore the awful and gloss over it with the palatable. How you need just a tiny drop of something unsavoury to create every great scent. Pretty deep for a pair of teenagers living in a block of council flats in inner city Dublin, right? Probably. But we weren't typical. We both had our obsessions. Mine was growing things, Dylan's was scent. He taught me how to use my nose, and I introduced him to the magic of flowers.I had no idea that one day he'd build an empire from what we started together. But before that, there was love and happiness, tragedy and epic heartbreak... My name is Evelyn Flynn and I'm going to tell you about the crack in everything. A Crack in Everything is Book #1 in L.H. Cosway's Cracks duet.

"A Crack in Everything by Ruth Frances Long is book one in the Dubh Linn series that is a fast-paced YA fantasy in the setting of Ireland and Irish lore.<br/><br/>This story follows Izzy, a teen girl who by chance runs into a sidhe named Jinx and can see past his glamour which humans cannot do. She is drawn to him and he is also drawn to her but he thought it was due to her encounter with an angel. A series of events happen and Izzy seeks Jinx for answers. What she doesn't know is how the sidhe world works and who Jinx obeys. He also doesn't realize who or what Izzy is since a simple human should not be able to see through his glamour. Was this encounter by chance, or has this been planned for a very long time? <br/><br/>A swift dive into Mythology, and Gaelic folklore, this supernatural adventure involves a war between angels, demons, and fae. A chance encounter similar to that of The Mortal Instruments but this story leans more toward the lives of the fae and a young woman’s unknowing ties to that world.<br/><br/>Expectations in this story<br/><br/>Setting-Dublin<br/>Irish Lore<br/>Forbidden Love<br/>Angels/Demons<br/>Magical war<br/>Family Secrets<br/>Sidhe/Fae<br/>Grail<br/>Ancient Lineage<br/><br/>I received the audiobook courtesy of NetGalley for an honest review. This was a quick read and would be enjoyed by those who like YA fantasy and Irish folklore. This is book one in a series and I intend to continue reading it as they are released."
