Blurb:Have you ever heard of the old Celtic legends of the Fae—beautiful, magical, and deadly creatures that have a love of messing with humans just for kicks and giggles?
Welcome to my world.
What started out as a strange assignment, lead to one of the most gruesome murder mysteries of our times. My friends and I are set and determined to find out who is killing off Fae and Witches alike.
Couple of problems in the way – I hate the Fae and the Prince of the Dark Fae is bound and determined that I work for him. He’s a rude, overbearing egotistical ass with a compulsive need to possess, dominate and control me. Oh—did I mention that he is absolutely sex-on-a-stick gorgeous and he makes me feel things that I never ever wanted to feel for a Fae... every time he touches me or looks at me with those dangerous golden eyes he seems to pull me further in under his spell, despite my better judgment.
My friends and I can’t trust anyone and nothing is as it seems on the surface—not even me.
This book was extremely vague. So much was going on and it was not put into context. So we don’t know the why’s. It just seems like a lot of stuff is happening for no reason. There is no reasoning behind why we care about the deaths in this book. There’s no connection between them and the main characters. Or why was she hired by the fae in the first place. It just happens.
There was no real direction to the storyline and I tried to stay with it to see if it became clear but the more I read the more confused I became. Things were being explained after the fact which was like reading it backwards. Also, the explanations seemed a bit thrown together last minute.
And the side characters were not very supportive and seemed like terrible friends. They kept things from her and did things they thought were good for her and never apologized for them or explained why they did them. They seemed real shady and secrective. But Synthia stays loyal when they have shown nothing but disloyalty to her.
It’s too bad, because the blurb was amazing.
