Forests of the HeartIn the Old Country, they called them the Gentry: ancient spirits of the land, magical, amoral, and dangerous.

In the Old Country, they called them the Gentry: ancient spirits of the land, magical, amoral, and dangerous. When the Irish emigrated to North America, some of the Gentry followed...only to find that the New World already had spirits of its own, called manitou and other such names by the Native tribes.

Now generations have passed, and the Irish have made homes in the new land, but the Gentry still wander homeless on the city streets. Gathering in the city shadows, they bide their time and dream of power. As their dreams grow harder, darker, fiercer, so do the Gentry themselves--appearing, to those with the sight to see them, as hard and dangerous men, invariably dressed in black.

Bettina can see the Gentry, and knows them for what they are. Part Indian, part Mexican, she was raised by her grandmother to understand the spirit world. Now she lives in Kellygnow, a massive old house run as an arts colony on the outskirts of Newford, a world away from the Southwestern desert of her youth. Outsider her nighttime window, she often spies the dark men, squatting in the snow, smoking, brooding, waiting. She calls them los lobos, the wolves, and stays clear of them--until the night one follows her to the woods, and takes her hand....

Ellie, an independent young sculptor, is another with magic in her blood, but she refuses to believe it, even though she, too, sees the dark men. A strange old woman has summoned Ellie to Kellygnow to create a mask for her based on an ancient Celtic artifact. It is the mask of the mythic Summer King--another thing Ellie does not believe in. Yet lack of belief won't dim the power of the mast, or its dreadful intent.

Donal, Ellie's former lover, comes from an Irish family and knows the truth at the heart of the old myths. He thinks he can use the mask and the hard men for his own purposes. And Donal's sister, Miki, a punk accordion player, stands on the other side of the Gentry's battle with the Native spirits of the land. She knows that more than her brother's soul is at stake. All of Newford is threatened, human and mythic beings alike.

Once again Charles de Lint weaves the mythic traditions of many cultures into a seamless cloth, bringing folklore, music, and unforgettable characters to life on modern city streets.

Great batana oil for hair
Banana oil is so incredible, I will never stop singing its praises. I am prone to dry scalp and have thin, curly hair that needs just the right amount of moisture or it will frizz out. Batana oil has helped restore balance to my scalp and reduced flakes and it adds just enough moisture to my hair. This oil is a great version. It is thick, but not so thick that it doesn't melt in your hands if you rubs them together. I also have not noticed any stickiness or excessive left on my hands that can happen with some Banana oil brands. I do want to note that I usually put the batana oil on my scalp, let it sit for 15-20 minutes then wash it out, if you are going to let it stay in your hair, this may be too heavy for you. Otherwise, a great deal at the list price of $14, since a little goes a long way.

On the fence...
Will be updating review after I have used it for more than a week. But so far here are the pros and cons: Pros: Smells good Seems like a little goes a long way Easy to apply Cons: Not sure if this is because I didn't use Sulfate free shampoo, but felt like with one wash I didn't get all the product out of my hair, so when It dried, it still looked greasy/oily Will be washing my hair again with sulfate free shampoo, then will do another application in another day or so. it says to use 2-3 times a week, so I'll use it 3 times a week for 2 weeks and then come back and update my review. But so far, it seams like a good product and for the money, it's a fair value.

good product
Effectiveness: This serum focuses on brightening, uneven tone, and early signs of aging using two stabilized forms of vitamin C plus supportive antioxidants. With consistent use, it can help improve overall radiance and reduce the look of dark spots gradually rather than delivering fast, dramatic fading. Texture & Application: Lightweight, silky, and smooth. It spreads easily and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy or heavy. The airless pump helps keep the formula stable and prevents oxidation, which is important for vitamin C products. Key Ingredients Performance: Vitamin C (two stabilized forms) supports brightness and antioxidant protection Kojic acid ester helps even skin tone over time Oryzanol (rice bran antioxidant) helps enhance brightening effects and supports skin defense Overall, it’s a gentler vitamin C approach compared to high-strength L-ascorbic acid serums, making it more suitable for sensitive or beginner users. Skin Feel / Finish: Leaves a soft, natural finish with no sticky residue. It layers well under moisturizer and sunscreen and doesn’t pill when used correctly. Suitable for daily AM or PM use. Durability of Results: Improvements are gradual—typically noticeable after several weeks of consistent use. Best results come with daily sunscreen use since vitamin C works synergistically with UV protection. Value: Very strong value for a budget-friendly serum. It delivers multiple brightening ingredients at a low price point, making it accessible for everyday skincare routines. Overall: A gentle, affordable vitamin C serum that prioritizes steady brightening, antioxidant support, and skin tone improvement over high-intensity results. Best for beginners, sensitive skin, or anyone wanting a simple daily glow-boosting step.
