Book two picks right up after the events of the first story. Clark is settling into Court life, making friends learning how to be a guard. A dangerous magical threat that has been unseen in a long time threatens Balor’s court, his right to rule and the lives of all those he protects. Clashes with human authorities, traitorous doings and complicated affections make this an incredible read from start to finish!
Having been introduced to Clark and her story when joining the Crimson Court, what was a romantic adventure has now turned to a dark thriller. I would like to think of the book as being in line with Twilight-Eclipse, however my mind sometimes sways towards the World War Z film. Just like in the first book, Live Fae or die trying, this story involves the romance drama that is Balor the smitter. I felt satisfied to finally find out Balor’s dark secret and this I found was the most enjoyable aspect of the book. I like the prophecy about Balor very much and that Caer delivers it with such mystery, with or without Clark’s consent. The secret was worth waiting for. It brings a new dilemma for Clark, which I can not predict the resolve to. We still also need to learn about what mysterious secret Clark is hiding from her past and that intrigue I hope will be revealed in the next instalment, Bad Fae rising. I’m also expecting to learn more about Clark’s shifter abilities. I believe this book has a lot of interesting content for being a Paranormal Romance.
I really love this series. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, turning each page in hopes of learning more secrets. Clark is amazing, she is getting stronger day by day and I can’t wait to see all that she is capable of. This book helped me to see Balor in a different light and my heart aches for them. While the question that I really wanted answered was not, some new info came to light that puts a twist in the game. Can’t wait for the next book. Come on April 29th you can’t get here soon enough.
This is the second book in this series, and I loved it almost as much as the first. Clark continues to enchant with her coming into her powers a little more, and she is also discovering a little more about herself (no spoilers!). I really liked Balor more in this one than I did in the first one, not that I didn’t like him in the first; he just seems more approachable in this one. We learn one of his secrets in this one, and I already know how he will get out of it. We didn’t hear anything about Clark’s secret which disappointed me a little, but I’m sure we will in the next one. All things considered, this was a great second book, and I really look forward to see what’s going to happen next with how things ended in this one. I highly recommend this book and was provided the e-book which I voluntarily reviewed.
