Resumen del Editor

Desdaemona’s done a bad, bad thing. Again. So she’s back on the road; and where better to look for shelter than with the boy she was running from before? But trouble follows. If it wasn’t Jacey’s parents who sent the deadly Twa Corbies in chase of her, then who was it? Deep under London, among the lost and rejected of two worlds, answers begin to emerge from Desi’s hidden past. Answers that send her north, in a flight that turns into a hunt, with strange companions and stranger prey. Dangers lie ahead and behind, and inconvenient passions ambush her just when she needs a clear head. At the last, even Desi has to beg for help. From one who has more cause than most to want her dead....

no

i was disappointed and frustrated. the story doesnt make sense. people dont react this way.

Bait and switch romance novel.

The first novel raised an interesting situation. I was hoping the protagonist would continue as a low-level investigator for the lost.

I had hopes for some real noir. A Maltese Falcon narrative of betrayal and just deserts.

Instead, the femme fatale/tough girl took over the story. She became a milk sop and kept complaining about her relationships.

Not only did Ben Macallan ruin a great character, But he or she wasted my time on a romance novel.

Some people like romance novels. I detest them. I listened to the end, but would not have bought this book if I had known what it was.

Not quite what I was hoping for…

The story was good, but didn’t live up to the first for me. The narrator was very talented, but her voice didn’t match the character to me. These are very subjective observations. If you liked the first book, it’s worth continuing.

different

different interesting yet somehow the same a love triangle maybe or maybe not you'll just have to listen and decide for yourself

A Disappointment For Me

What happened? Desi was so wonderful in Desdemona along with Jordan. Then we get no Jordan until the end and all Desi in her weakness. What is this? How can you wrap us up in Jordan with his running from his family, death of Ash, his reign to Princedom , and not give us more on his life, his powers, and his family. The author tried to clean it up in the end, but what a drop off. So, she's free to stop running...what now. What became of Tom? What adventures do they go on as a trio sometimes the 4 of them including Tom of course? Nothing more as this is the last book and I would say wait until it's included or just don't waste your credit or coins on this book of a whole lot of running. I'm going to see if I can get my coins back on this one, and this is the first book I've thought to do this on. 😔

meh

the first book was good and the narrator was good. but on this book not so much. I'm not sure if it's the narrator that is making the story boring. I have a hard time paying attention to this narrator.

It was OK

I really liked the 1st book told from Jordan’s viewpoint but in the 2nd, Desi inner narration talks too much. Too many descriptions during and in between events. I liked it nonetheless.

the book that killed the series

complete and utter waste of money and or credit des turns into a manipulative slur

Sad. I liked the first one...

The first book in the series was great. The writing was clever and engaging, the narration was clear, the narrator was charming. I liked it so much I bought this one.
In this book, the lovable main character disappears completely. Like, poof! Where'd he go? And she barely seems to care, just moving on to the next shmuck. And after a cliffhanger in the first book! Instead, I found myself stuck listening to the story written from the perspective of the female character.
FYI, this narrator sounds like a fifth-grader and it is super distracting. Her voice would work for a quirky character I suppose, but Desdaemona is...not. Not at all quirky. She is boring. And selfish. And kind of awful all around. I mean, she's strong and I guess she tries to do the right thing sometimes but that's the only thing I can even say about her. Why are all these men drawn to her? Sheesh. I don't get it. It's almost like it's written by a different author and this is a spin-off. Maybe the ending tied it all together but I was bored and couldn't finish. :(

not my cup of tea.

not worth talking about. not a story I can stomach after being treated the way I have been treated by women.
