Publisher's summary

"I don't do patrols, I don't go hunting, I just stick close to you. You live your life. I'll keep you safe," Tamani said, sweeping a lock of hair from her face. "Or die trying."

Laurel hasn't seen Tamani since she begged him to let her go last year. Though her heart still aches, Laurel is confident that David was the right choice.

But just as life returns to normal, Laurel realizes that a hidden enemy lies in wait. Once again, Laurel must turn to Tamani to protect and guide her, for the danger that now threatens Avalon is one that no faerie thought would ever be possible. And for the first time, Laurel cannot be sure that her side will prevail.

Still Fantastic 3 Books In. Impressive!

The short version: I love how this book doesn’t stretch a few interesting storylines into a drawn-out three-book series. Instead, it delivers a concise, engaging narrative that keeps the pace brisk and the plot compelling.

Im happy about the world-building in this series and how it takes its time developing the storylines. It’s refreshing to find a book in this genre that’s PG-rated, which is rare and a welcome change. There’s almost no teen drama, and the characters exhibit real respect and fondness for each other, which enriches their interactions.

The main character can sometimes come across as a bit young and not overly wise, but this adds to the realism and helps the reader connect with the storylines.

There are plenty of intriguing plotlines happening simultaneously, and I’m finding it hard to pace myself and not rush through all the books. I’m devastated that Audible doesn’t have the 5th book—what a loss!

It doesn’t feel like the plot points are being unnecessarily dragged out. The resolutions are unpredictable, at least to me, but that’s part of the fun. I’m thoroughly enjoying both the day-to-day lives of the characters and the more adventurous elements, so it’s all working well together.

The narration is great!

Highly Recommend this series. I will be reading all of her other books in short order.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
