What a treat to be back in this world; I did miss it. I also just read there is one more book which I am very eager for so the story can be wrapped up. Back to this book, Alex is dealing with her new powers when she is contracted to help solve the murder of two faes. But things are not as they seem, and it isn’t long before Alex’s life is in danger once again. Because of the author’s great writing, I enjoyed this book from beginning to end, and I don’t want to say much, but I’m glad the suitor I prefer is the one she seemed to be with at the end. I’ve always had a clear favorite, and he’s winning. The Mender also made a cameo appearance, and I can’t wait for the next book so see how everything will shake out. If you are a fan of this series, this book does not disappoint. If you haven’t read this series, what the heck are you waiting for?!? I highly recommend this book! I was provided the e-book which I voluntarily reviewed.
The book was good, but not up to par with the prior ones. It seemed to lose some of it’s prior being or energy.
So I’m sad and excited at the same time, right now. The whole story arc with Death seems to have been completed and now it is back to Falin being able to put the moves on our favorite Grave Witch. I LIKE Falin, don’t get me wrong. I just felt like the last book totally blew up everything I knew about the character Death, who broke rules for Alex. Yet, he can’t break all of them, okay. But we need a reason, not just an excuse for them to break up. I’m so sad here.
That said, the Falin romance and the story and plot are in full-gear and it was a-freaking-mazing. So there is that. I can’t wait until the last book finally arrives!
