Kickshaw Candies is a captivating little story, which invites the reader to a magical candy shop in the small town of Baile, and into the lives of the characters. It is not, however a children's fairy tale. This is for more mature readers, who enjoy a taste of the dark chocolates. The story is plot driven and has all the magical elements of Celtic folklore and even a bit of Gaelic.

Teagan O'Brien, the knowledgeable proprietor of the candy shop knows exactly which candy you will need or enjoy the most. The entire town is filled with dark secrets which threaten the existence of all humanity. Even the characters, themselves are unaware of the secrets they possess.

Kickshaw candies draws you in and holds you captive until the conclusion.

Kickshaw Candies by R.K. Finnell is one very well written book.

This author has created an original captivating story that pulls you in from the very start. I believe this author may be setting a trend on a hybrid genre of books (Fantasy Horror) and does a great job with it.

My reviewing style tends to be overly critical on major literary components revolving around plot, characterization and writing style. Kickshaw Candies exceeded my expectations.

R.K. Finnell keeps the suspense building into a crescendo and there were times that made me realize that this author writes like people think.

Kickshaw Candies is a book to put in your top 5 of books to buy. You will not be disappointed with the writing or the story.

This book earns a 5 star rating.

R.K. Finnell has done such a wonderful job of introducing characters, peeling back layers, and weaving her entire story together. Kickshaw Candies is a book that's different from anything I've read before, and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I especially appreciated the author's world-building techniques, as everything in this book was so, so vivid for me. Admittedly, the number of characters at the beginning of the story can be a bit overwhelming, but hang on, because the story you're treated to soon after is well worth it.
