I enjoyed the writing of this story. I was able to envision the fairie realm and the odd creatures through the well-worded descriptions. This story is filled with action and intertwined story lines. The characters kept me entertained and intrigued. I particularly liked the way the author gave add...
I wanted to love this book. I mean it had everything I love: Fairies, fighting, forbidden romances, a power house main character. I just didn't like certain aspects. For one both Violet and Nate go from 0-hella-in-love in literally three seconds or less. Secondly Nate betrays her way too quickly...
I didn't enjoy this book quite as much as the others - I don't always enjoy books that deal with the character forgetting what happens (as a reader, I'm continually thinking "yes, you do know! Can I tell you?"). I oftentimes find that books dealing with memory loss don't allow the author to furth...
This is my first foray into fantasy since reading Harry Potter and I was very pleasantly surprised by this little story. Being a fan of endearing characters, I was immediately drawn to Violet Fairdale. A good-hearted warrior with a tough exterior.The innocent romance that develops between her and...
Calla Larkenwood wants nothing more than to be a guardian, but her overprotective mother has never allowed it. When circumstances change and Calla finally gets to join a Guild, she discovers guardian trainee life isn’t all she hoped it would be. Her classmates are distant, her mentor hates her, a...
“Thanks again,” Noah says as we reach the parking lot between Fuller and Smuts. Hopefully next year I’ll be fortunate enough to get a spot up here rather than having to park down the road. “No problem. It was nice meeting your family. I like them.” ...
Scimitar! Bow and arrow!” Olive barks out, snapping her fingers between each command. “Calla, you’re not keeping up. Dagger!” Finger snap. “Chakram!” Finger snap. “Whip!” Finger snap. “I don’t see a whip, Calla.”I try to block out her harsh voice and impatient glare and concentrate instead on the...
Then I lie down on the floor and consider never getting up again. Filigree doesn’t seem impressed, though. He shifts into gorilla form, carries me upstairs, and throws me, fully clothed, into my bathing room pool. A minute later, he scurries back through the door as a squirrel and drops a handful...
My shocked brain is playing through the same words over and over. It can’t be true. Dad would never do something like that. But he did. And beneath the shock, something else is beginning to burn. Anger. I stare unblinking at Adam’s cupboard doors as...
Well, almost all of us. I had hoped to be more rested, but I’m nearly as tired as I was last night. Instead of dwelling on what this means about the curse and how far it’s progressed, I focus on our plan: find Angelica and stun her. Find the witches and stun them. Immobilize all three women and w...
Then I woke up early and couldn’t get back to sleep because I kept thinking about him. At least it kept me from thinking about the reading tonight, which, now that it’s only two hours away, is beginning to take over my thoughts again.After a cold shower to try and combat the effects of the heat a...
I turn automatically and continue pacing. If anyone asks, I’m attempting to wear a path into the wooden floor using only the power of a pair of high-heeled shoes. The truth, however, is far less glamorous. I’m a disgraced faerie about to be chewed apart by the Guild Council for breaking the Law.M...
