If you screw up in life enough, your past won’t just catch up to you. It’ll hunt you down, tooth and claws bared and going for the jugular.
This is what Peyton Price discovered, when his infamous reputation as a bounty hunter of the fey comes back to bite him, literally. Only, they don’t want him dead, like he figured. They want him to work for them. It’s not an option, and with the magic binding him, there seems to be no escape from it. But they don’t know Peyton. He’ll pull every string, no matter how slimy or tricky it may be, to get himself out of this mess.
Quick paced adventure… I really enjoyed this book, the plot advances quickly and it’s filled with multi-dimensional characters that kept me absorbed until the very last paragraph. Picking up where the Sidhe series leaves off, you don’t necessarily have to have read it to keep up with this series, since Undeniable marks a switch in focus even as some familiar characters step up to the spotlight. The Druids, tasked with serving the Sidhe so the Fey can be protected from the encroaching threat of predators, face their biggest menace yet as the balance of power is threatened by vampires, werewolves, and wizards teamed with demons. Our heroine, London, and her fellow druids truly have their hands full in this action packed story, and I really enjoyed how she stepped up and how much she’s evolved since she was first introduced to readers. At the same time, Peyton Price, bound by magic and subject to Credne’s quest for power, is compelled to retrieve artifacts thought to be lost after the fall of the fey realm. I loved this character and his steadfast determination to reclaim his life in the face of a seemingly hopeless situation. I can’t wait to see how the series plays out as he balances the precarious line between serving his master and regaining his freedom. I was also loving on the druid Riley and the tender relationship he has with his patron Kieran, who is stepping up to follow Lugh in the role of Champion of the Sidhe while they battle to preserve the dwindling numbers of fey. I thought this book would have been well served with a prologue to bring readers up to speed (it had been a while since I read the prequel); there is so much going on that highlighting a few key elements of the backstory would have left me free to immerse myself in the action instead of having to review my mental flow chart of what’s come before. I didn’t find that it was a serious issue though, the authors feed readers enough information as the story plays out to make sure we stay on track without inundating us with recaps. Please note that I received a complimentary advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
Once again we are drawn into the life and death struggle of the fey. We thought the threat was gone but not only is it alive and well so are the patrons of the Sidhe, London, Joe and Riley. Although the wizards are gone Peyton has survived. As we have become accustomed to, there are multiples layers to the story to peel thru like an onion to get to the core of the story. Lots of excitement and action, twist and turns cause this to be a great story worthy of a read but as usual ending too soon. We laugh. We cry out with them. We hold our breath. We reach the last page and go Wow it's over? Maybe! Maybe not. . .
