Meet Frankie of Sluagh now all grown up and ready to take on the world. It is just about what she had to do when she realizes she is in love with the Dark Prince, Graely and that her Seelie family will never accept him. Added to this is the fact, is the one that his brother, the Dark Prince Pestale, has once again unleashed a war of terror in the Human Realm. Traitors are all around, and Frankie has her hands full.
Through Time-Frankie By Claudy Conn Time Series Book 4 Frankie is now a beautiful eighteen year old girl. She enjoyed her life growing up in Sorth Carolina with Prince Trevor and Jazmine Decker. Her father, Deimne the Daoine Sluagh was in her life as well and couldn't be prouder of some of her changes as she came into her maturity. She wasn't as sure about the new changes, one in particular. Through all of her changes and trials the past six years there was always one nearby. Always one there to help her out of trouble or to be a friend. Someone she could always be herself with. Someone she was forbidden to be around. Graely, one of the Dark Princes. Graely, the handsome hunk who thought of her no more than a mere child.
Pestale and Hordly were allowed out of the bleakness of the Dark Realm into the beaut of Conglam. Vibrant colors and none of the darkness and yet it wasn't enough. Pestale was determined to destroy and take over the Human Realm. They lived with the peaceful groups of the Blue Demons and Shape-shifters, he didn't want their peace.
For those who enjoy Claudy Conn's paranormal series you'll be glad to see many old friends return to once again prepare for what Pescale is planning. Of course Prince Breslyn wouldn't be left out, along with many others from Tir. Some new friends on Conglam as well. Frankie and her family has come to Ireland for the summer and she will begin Trinity in the fall. Some things just never turn out for the Fae, like nice quiet summer vacations. This is listed as the fourth book, but many of these characters were introduced in the first Legend book Spellbound Legend and built upon it from there. You may want to start there and read through all the books in order as you enter the world from Fae to shape-shifters and everything in between, who all work together against the forces of the Dark Realm. **Sexual situations http://justjudysjumbles.blogspot.com/...
It's no secret that I love Claudy Conn. The stories she writes are amazing; yet Through Time-Frankie is by far her best work to date! You can literally see the author expanding and maturing in her craft as she pens this tale.
This book has it all. It picks up after the previous Through Time Slamming only we are six years into the future and Frankie is all grown up. Graely has been her sworn protector and loves her more than life it's self. He would die to protect her, he would do anything to make her smile. Yet he is a Dark Prince and knows that he is not good enough for her. With his evil brothers up to their villainous ways; Frankie is the one standing between life on earth and total destruction by the Dark King. Can Graely protect Frankie from his brothers and his father or will it be too late?
The action kicks off in page one of this book and keeps you flipping pages to see what happens next. As usual Conn's characters come to light in an ethereal fashion. She gives us a conglomerate of creatures that leave the reader writhing for more.
This book is not a stand alone book and must be read in the order intended to receive the full back story of the cast of characters. Each characters is complex and multi-faceted. The story lines and powers are unique to each character. This book, like the rest include the full cast that we have grown to adore and love to follow.
This book will leave you wondering where the story will go next but I have no doubt Claudy stepped up her game for this book ... I can only imagine how awesome the next will be.
This book is a continuation of the story of Frankie of Sluagh, who is a Daoine Fae (highest caste of Fae) and the Dark Prince, Graely. Frankie has been in love with Graely for the past 6 years but because he's a Dark Prince, he thinks he's not good enough for her. He has protected Frankie for 6 years and she has told him he has more good than evil in him. He's the typical obstinate male hunk and doesn't believe her and still thinks of her as a child. Frankie has to prove to him that he is good enough for her and that she is a woman and not a child anymore. Doesn't help that her father and family do not like him either especially since he is a Dark Prince. Emotions run really high.
Then we have Graely's two evil brothers, the Dark Princes Pestale and Hordly who are up to their evil machinations of taking over the Human Realm again! They have recruited others to help them, so it's a race against time to stop another coming war.
We have some of our favorite people from the other stories, my favorite Prince Breslyn & Ete, Jazz & Trevor, Queen Aaibhe and her consort Morgan LeBlance a few others and even the Dark King (talk about being pissed-whew!!)
I'm a BIG fan of Claudy Conn's and this is a true Claudy Conn style book that grabs you from the beginning until the end and what an enjoyable ride it is and leaves you wanting more! We have hot sex, romance, mayhem and humor (such as "Rock'n'Roll Graely and "Ever hear of the mile high club?" You'll have to read the book to find out in just what context these sayings were used in the story-they had me laughing!!) Get it and read it, you WON'T be sorry and you'll love it like I did!!
When I first "met" Frankie as a child in an Through Time - Whiplash, I knew there was more than meets the eye with her. Since she was just a child, I figured she would play a key role and then sort of pop in and out throughout the series. I was beyond excited to see that she got her own story years later in the storyline. Thankfully, it was not years later in real life because I am so not patient enough for that. The best part, this meant Graely. Yes, I just swooned over a Dark Prince. Talk about a "bad boy" who sort of kind of isn't even though he soooo really is. Sorry, just swooned again ;) .
Once again, Claudy has created this amazing fantasy with action, a bit of mystery, and a reunion of so many of my favorite characters, while focusing on Frankie and Graely. As strong and powerful as Frankie has always been, she really grew into this amazingly intelligent, strong, and powerful woman while still holding onto a bit of her innocence of the world. Graely should have been a lost cause between his "father" and spending so many years with his "brothers". Yet, somehow he becomes more then his genetics and history. I love that this is not a "Love makes the bad boy good" story and that we started to see that Graely was starting to become the fae he wanted to be years before this installment began. It made their love story so much more.
I am getting dangerously close to giving spoilers away, so I should quit while I am ahead. I LOVED this book. If you have not read the other Through Time books, you will probably not enjoy it nearly as much as if you had, so I would start there. The first book is currently free, so that is a great place to start.
Since meeting Frankie 2 books ago I fell in love with this lil but oh so grown up girl. She is amazing! A total badass chic...
In this book Frankie is coming into her own. She struggles with what she is becoming. Dark Prince Graely is also struggling with who he is and what people think of him. Can Frankie and Graely work together to prove everyone wrong and save the day while some how fighting the explosive chemistry between them? Will they give into the passion they share?
We meet a whole new world of species. We are introduced to a new dimension the Dark King created.
It is very exciting. I am in total awe with Claudy's writing. So much emotion is poured into this book. There are certain scenes in this book that will pull you in and make you feel so much.
It's so magical and being introduced to a whole new world with a lot of new characters who are good and bad is fantastic. Claudy's characters are so intriguing and unforgettable....You will be blown away! If you have followed along with this series from the beginning you will be in total amazement with what goes on in this book. I do not want to spoil so just take my word for it and I will promise you you will LOVE it!
I can not wait to see what is next for this series. I am eagerly awaiting the next installment in this masterful series.

REVIEW: 5 stars ***** More If I could give them !!! This is the last book < for now> in the Through Time Series. And I will say I think it was the BEST !!! I read it so very slowly as I didn’t want this to end .Awesome book , Awesome Author what more could you want? Frankie is all grown up and determined to have a certain Dark Prince as her life mate . Will it happen? Yes they are thrown into one hell of a battle with the Dark Prince Pestale can they finally rid the world of him? Claudy brings back all the characters from the previous books which I truly love !!!
Claudy Conn knocks another one out of the park with Frankie. This is the story that I have waited for since Graely and Frankie were introduced and it did not disappoint. The story that unfolded was full of suspense, intrigue, mystery, romance, action and deceit. This is a must read that you will find impossible to put down.
Beautifully written. I could hardly put this book down the growth of characters and the plot twists was truly amazing.l absolutely find this Claudy's best work to date and can't wait for more.
Well, if you have been following this series then you have already met Frankie, the child that Jaz and Trevor saved in the past. If you have not then you really should read the previous book(s). Frankie is all grown up now, time for her journey for happiness, and to see just how powerful her gifts have become since her childhood. She has her site set on Dark Prince Graely (brother to Pestal and Hordly), although she sees the good in him unlike his horrible brothers. Graely would love nothing more than to be with the beautiful Frankie but feels he is not worthy of her love and never will be. Old enemies return, danger is on the way. He knows she is in danger and he needs to protect her no matter what. There may be a new threat to Frankie from her father's own people. Frankie is taken by evil to a place only he can enter. Once freed and they finally admit their feelings for one another she is taken once again. There is a lot of anger and some overdue retribution with a whole lot of love mixed in. Frankie finally find peace with one another, for the time anyway. Frankie and Graely's story is not finished yet. Follow along with the next story for the conclusion of this great series. Frankie
I was interested in what would happen to the dark princes once they were banished. I even wanted to find out what would happen with Frankie and Graely. This story had a lot going on but it was really good.
I think this was my favorite book in the series so far. I always love a great "forbidden love" story, and the daughter of one of the highest Seelie Fae falling in love with a Dark Prince certainly fits the bill. Frankie is a great character. She's sweet and strong, and she has some really fun powers. And Graely...my goodness what a sweetheart. I loved how Graely always looked after Frankie, but Frankie took control of their relationship.
This was a short book (like the rest in the series), so I didn't get bored with the plot, but I did see a pattern throughout all of the books. After a bit, it seems like we're just waiting for Pestale and Hordly to capture the heroine yet again so we can see how she escapes and how anxious her mate gets. It's repetitive, but for some reason I still enjoy reading about it. There were a few new twists in this story. We get some new races, and some new developments in the war between Pestale and the rest of the Fae. Overall, I thought it was an exciting and sweet story to breeze through in an afternoon.
He has always watched out for her and she has always trusted him. Frankie had to grow up faster than usual because her powers were needed. Graely has been her protector since the first time he saw her. This story has Pestale back again still not satisfied with his life. This is a exciting hot read that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Enjoy I did. A reread for me.
I totally enjoyed this series! Frankie's story was a great ending to it. It is sad to end the story of theses great characters from Legend all the way through Through Time. I'm hoping Claudy will continue to make visits to Tir for us!
Out of the series this is my favorite. I really love the story between Frankie and Dark Prince Graely. Its the forbidden love story we all love to read. Big fan of Claudy Conn
