Fascinating characters, very interesting twist on the *modern* fey realms, great storyline ... and unfortunately ended with what is rapidly becoming my personal "if it was a book instead of on my Kindle I'd throw it through the window" reaction to the cliffhanger endings.My personal dislike for cliffhanger endings goes very far back and is deeply ingrained for more than one reasons. Unfortunately, with the proliferation of indie authors, the cliffhanger ending seems to be one of the "hooks" authors are using more and more, hoping to pick up readers for the remaining books in the series.This is one of the better fantasy/modern elf books I've read recently and if you don't mind a fairly short book with a cliffhanger ending it is certainly entertaining, probably a 4-star for me other than the ending.However, I'm finding more and more books using this gimmick and I've been getting more irritated and increasingly less polite about my aversion to cliffhangers. I've reached a point where I simply refuse to continue with a series or an author that employs this. This book was a complete "change of pace" for me and in a good way. Reagan Sullivan is a secret service person who's job is to protect the vice-president. When she is kidnapped by Irish elves and finds out she is "one of them", the story really takes off. The drama in both of Reagan's worlds is an interesting weave. The second book of this series, Conspiracy, is due out in September. I'll be watching for it!
What do You think about Ninth Crossing: Discovery (2000)?
Quite good! Hang in there, the beginning is a bit slow but after that its worth it.
