As Mac learns more about the Fae world, she has to leave behind the blonde Barbie doll image we saw in the first book. She has cut her hair and colored it black to match the evil she deals with on a daily basis, and the evil that is growing inside. Mac's progress as she tries to deal with her changes and those of the world around her are at times sad, but always rewarding. We are no closer to unraveling the mystery that is Jericho Barnes, but we gain more insight into his character and why he is searching for the Sinsar Dubh. There are several disturbing scenes between Mac and Barnes that seem to take on a life of their own. Moning tries to explain them away using classic logic, but they are disturbing, nonetheless.
The ending of this book is aggravating, alarming, and fantastic. Moning left me hanging, begging for the next installment of the series to be ready now!
Book Summary
The New York Times bestselling author of
Darkfever and Bloodfever returns to
Dublin’s
Fae-infested shores in a bold, sensual new novel.
Hurtling
us into a realm of seduction and shadows, Karen Marie
Moning tells the enthralling tale of a woman who explores
the limits of her mysterious powers as she enters a world
of ancient sorcery—and confronts an enemy more insidious
than she could ever have imagined.
He
calls me his Queen of the Night. I’d die for him. I’d
kill
for him, too. When MacKayla Lane receives a torn page
from her dead sister’s journal, she is stunned by Alina’s
desperate words. And now MacKayla knows that her
sister’s killer is close. But evil is closer. And
suddenly
the sidhe-seer is on the hunt: For answers. For
revenge. And for an ancient book of dark magic so evil,

Forced into a dangerous triangle of alliance with V’lane,
an insatiable Fae prince of lethally erotic tastes, and
Jericho Barrons, a man of primal desires and untold
secrets, Mac is soon locked in a battle for her body,
mind, and soul.
As All Hallows’ Eve approaches
and
the city descends into chaos, as a shocking truth about
the Dark Book is uncovered, not even Mac can prevent a
deadly race of immortals from shattering the walls
between
worlds—with devastating consequences.…
