Publisher's summary

Getting into Faerie is risky enough. Getting out again may prove impossible.

Entering Faerie is enough of a risk, never mind trying to free a changeling. That's never been done before, but that's exactly what has to happen if I'm going to rescue my best friend. So when I run into a half-blood thief who offers to help, I can't exactly say no. I mean, the guy seriously hates the fae. After all, one of them knocked up his mother.

Digging deeper into the labyrinthine fae city kingdom, we soon start to unravel a mystery I never could have imagined. Namely, how it came to be that just a few fae now control all of the magic in their world. We also learn that some of the missing humans have been spotted. Not my friend, but we must be getting closer.

But when I get waylaid by fae slave traders, find myself stripped of magic and held captive in a noble house, and discover a secret that might turn the tables of magical power in Faerie, I end up with way more than I bargained for. But I also seem to have caught the eye of a stunningly handsome fae lord. Hard to resist. And who knows? Maybe he could come in handy. Because right now it's down to me, and I'm up against a ticking clock. It's either escape or die knowing that the next stop for fae magical conquest is the human realm.

Engrossing and cant wait for the next one.

New and exciting well written and captivating. Love the voice of the reader. She is as engrossing as the words. She brings the characters to life.

Even better than the first!

Loved it! I had more time to enjoy the characters and more time to enjoy the plot. Loved it

Good listening

I have enjoyed this fiction story and will follow the rest of the series. Thank you for the good read

The narrator is the best part of this book

This story has a trilogy worth of flashbacks. I stopped reading several times to look and see if this was a sequel to another series and not just book 2. The author begins this book months after the protagonist gets her body back, something that isn't a part of book 1's plot. The author tells us more about what happened to her before book 1 including body snatching, body sharing, her twin sister and her psychic investigator boyfriend almost dying twice searching for her, and that the protagonist and her twin sister are veil witches which were thought to not exist. That's ALOT of flashbacks and explanations for book 1 in a series. What actually happens, the actual plot is not very interesting and I'm not sure if there is a third book or not but the ending is either 3/4ths mission failure, or a cliffhanger. The characters have generic personalities,

What is wrong with writing a badass female lead? Do these authors not understand what actual badass is??

Ok authors, FEMALE AUTHORS, If you are trying to write a great book, how about making a badass female character that’s, you know, actually badass? They make you think this is the books overview and maybe even in the first couple paragraphs m but then girl meets boy and BAM she’s an idiot. Can’t make a decision without getting in trouble, oops I just did that when I totally had no idea, and now I hate having this power or I can’t have the boy because I got to other revenge things but oh how I like him. This. I’m so tired of this. And it seems ALL the books are like this. I need some Kate Daniels badass. It seems like books written by men authors seem to put their female lead in a better light. Instead of being a whiny child that throws fits because she doesn’t want to do something.
