In her fight to stay alive, MacKayla must find the Sinsar Dubh—a million-year-old book of the blackest magic imaginable, which holds the key to power over the worlds of both the Fae and Man. Pursued by assassins, surrounded by mysterious figures she knows she can’t trust, Mac finds herself torn between two deadly and powerful men: V’lane, the immortal Fae Prince, and Jericho Barrons, a man as irresistible as he is dangerous.
For centuries the shadowy realm of the Fae has coexisted with that of humans. Now the walls between the two are coming down, and Mac is the only thing that stands between them.
The jump in
quality between books one and two is incredible. We delve a lot deeper into the
world of Fae and learn more about Mac’s abilities. The story arc was a lot
stronger and overall the book didn’t have the slow start that Darkfever did.
Personally, I found the description a little misleading. I do not find the
sexual assault, V'lane, attractive at all and his presence in this
pseudo-love-triangle is something I could dump from this series all together.
Though I still
don’t approve of Mac’s self deprecating tone either, she takes less crap from
Barrons and works more independently in this book. Mac’s journey is somehow
even darker in this book and she has to face consequences from her choices in
book one. Moning does a good job of almost answering my questions and keeping
me on the edge of my seat.
On an amusing
note. At the beginning of this book I finally realized Jericho Barrons has dark
hair. For some reason this has increased my opinion of him by more than is
reasonable. He does improve a little in this novel, but I'm hoping there is
some reason for his tortured exterior. There usually is. Book three is already
downloaded and I'm ready to keep rolling though this series. (After I finish
Stranger Things)
