Summery: Unbeknownst to mortals, a power struggle is unfolding in a world of shadows and danger. After centuries of stability, the balance among the Faery Courts has altered, and Irial, ruler of the Dark Court, is battling to hold his rebellious and newly vulnerable fey together. If he fails, bloodshed and brutality will follow.
Seventeen-year-old Leslie knows nothing of faeries or their intrigues. When she is attracted to an eerily beautiful tattoo of eyes and wings, all she knows is that she has to have it, convinced it is a tangible symbol of changes she desperately craves for her own life.
The tattoo does bring changes—not the kind Leslie has dreamed of, but sinister, compelling changes that are more than symbolic. Those changes will bind Leslie and Irial together, drawing Leslie deeper and deeper into the faery world, unable to resist its allures, and helpless to withstand its perils. . . .
Review: This story starts with the first time Irail meets Leslie. So far this series is very enjoyable for me. the main reason I've been enjoying them is because of the characters. The book switches through the perspectives through out the book (Irail, Leslie, and Niall). I really liked all three, Aislinn, Keenan, and Seth are also in this book of the series, it takes place a few months after the ending of the first book, I still liked the relationship between Seth, Ash, and Keenan (Donia was sadly not in this book, and vaguely mentioned as the new Winter Queen). I also liked the relationship between Leslie, Irail, and Niall. While Niall and Leslie were in the first book (Niall a tiny bit more then Leslie) they were not in it enough for me to like or know them (Irial was only mentioned), but in this book they are front and center. I really liked Leslie, and her decision in the ending of this book, It took me about two chapters from Niall's perspective to like him, and about three chapters from Irial's perspective to like him. I liked this book more then the first, the point of views from the characters were a little more in depth, as well as the world building. For the first book I didn't really know much about the faries from this series, but in this book I got some answers to why some of the fae did what they did. I can still definitely understand why some people may/will not enjoy or like the book and/or the series, but I for one do enjoy them.
Other books in this series.
