Right from the 1st page, this novel is faster & more suspenseful than the 1st in the series. I felt as if something nefarious was always afoot (and yes, this novel made me want to use the word nefarious to describe it). A sense of darkness and foreboding emanates from Moning’s writing. The fae become more and more developed throughout this novel. They are no longer a singular concept, but rather a multiplicity of different beings. There are so many different types of fae, each with their own biology, morphology, and end goals. The tidbits about fae hierarchy were also quite intriguing. I really like how Mac is beginning to grow up throughout the novel, but that it isn’t a miraculous, all at once, change. As a person, I like her a lot more in this novel than when I’d first met her and she’s also much more captivating. Jericho Barros is also becoming even more mysterious and enigmatic. As a major player in the story he has me hooked. I know I probably should, but gads, I love V’lane. He’s quickly becoming a series favourite for me. He’s just so much fun. This novel was fast paced & suspenseful, keeping me coming back for more. It does end with a definite cliffhanger that left me needing to know what comes next.

5 out of 5 stars!! Sooo much better then the first book! Mac has developed into a great character! Plus ... my biggest issue with the first novel was all of the foreshadowing that made pauses throughout it, which is completely solved in this second novel. I mean there is foreshadowing still but the story keeps flowing around it, which I tremendously enjoyed! =0) Review By: From Me to You ...
