I’m a fae without a court, but that suits me just fine. Kind of. For years, I’ve hidden in my shabby East London flat, working as a private investigator for romantically-scorned supernaturals. The pay? Total rubbish. I’m broke as hell and almost homeless. But I’m stuck in this life. If anyone discovered my dark past, I’d end up dead.But when a serial killer starts picking off London’s fae, it … fae, it seems fate has other plans for me. Balor, a dangerous and sinfully enticing fae prince, wants me to help him hunt down the killer. Apparently, my mind-reading abilities would be an asset. Now, I’m being whisked away into a court of wealth and magic.
Problem is, I can’t read his mind, and I’m not sure I trust him. Worse, he knows I’m keeping a secret of my own, and he’s determined to figure it out. Despite his allure, I start to wonder if he’s behind the crimes. If he is, I’ll never make it out of his Court alive.

Clark is a half-fae supernatural PI hiding from the fae courts until she has a run-in with one of the princes. Now she’s being forced to pledge her loyalty to him while struggling to keep the secrets of her past that might get her killed and tasked with investigating the disappearance of several women in his court. How can she know who to trust when she has no clue about the rules of the courts and her biggest suspect is the prince that she is now magically tied to? The writing at times was a bit annoying like how many times it was mentioned she kicked the prince in the balls and I expected a bit more competence from someone who had been a PI when it came to investigating the missing fae. Overall though, this was a good story with some funny moments and I’m curious to see what happens with the next book.
OMG, if this book had just a little more magic and a little more heat it would have been a slam dunk. Although the plot wasn’t a long saga with twists and turns, I loved it somehow. It appealed to me, to my likings. It has ENCHANTED me… What is not to like with the start of this series; It has an ultra super gorgeous Fae Prince, a strong-minded mind-reading half-fae/half-shifter and a court system that both protects and sets limitations to their lives. Clark Cavanaugh – the heroine – has a dark past that is mentioned, but never explained, hence I see more secrets unfolding in the sequels. I can’t wait to read about the twists and turns this series will have when we finally find out who she really is. With regards to her love life to a certain Fae Prince, well, I can just say that I will have expectations!!! And perhaps we will have competition on his hand from Tiarnan. I will also expect for stronger villains to step up the game, and I don’t think the continuation of this series will disappoint. For those who love a good mystery, detective and forbidden romance story this is it.
Oh my so much romantic tension. Will it be relieved? And what is the mysterious past of Clark’s. This book was filled with,action, intrigue and some angst. It’s fun to watch Clark on her cases. She is snarky and stubborn and so is that Prince. Will they eventually give into this pull? Can’t wait to see what happens in the next book. I am left craving more.
I have had the privilege to read a few books lately that just blew me away, and this latest series starter by this author was one of them! Clark is a very interesting character, and I was drawn in immediately to her world from the first page. We have an intriguing mystery that keeps us guessing from one minute to the next. On top of that, we have a hot attraction between Clark and her fae prince Balor, and they are harboring secrets which draw them to each other more. All this together equaled a book I had a hard time putting down. I am a big fan of this author’s books, and I think this series is going to become my favorite. Can’t wait to read more! I highly recommend this book!
