My friends and I are finally enjoying some respite. My mysterious father is staying with the Lycan tribe, and I have a chance to begin to fill in the holes in my past.

This case will sweep me up in a conspiracy that threatens two realms. My only choice will be to throw in my lot with unexpected allies.

Venturing deep into the darkest corners of Fairey to save a lost soul. I will stop at no lengths to save my daughter-in-law's family. Even if I must journey with a blasted leprechaun to do so!

Reviews

[Zayne · Rating 3 out of 5]

Really good. I liked it, but there were some aspects of the characters that I find rough to follow. I knew the ending would stop with a cliffhanger because Cali and Morgana said that, without any spoilers here, Mavis would have to die as a demigoddess in order to be able to reach her true final form as a full-fledged demigoddess. The fact that she's been dealing with cosmic threats to Earth, and winning, and she's still got an infinite number of abilities to still learn and unlearn the one's she knows but has to change to get stronger, that all starts with her fighting her inner darkness. That is the only way. She finally sees and accepts that at the end. I loved the cliffhanger ending because I know there will be even more development of the relationship between Mav and Morgana, the newfound bond between them that extends beyond (Spoiler) Morgana having had to save Mav, but it also makes her complications rise further in her relationship with Aurelia and Anne, both of whom want just her and each other, but Mav has always wanted to bring another, a fourth, into their fold and into their bonded relationship.

The story continues to get better

I do not like starting with the negative but I need to be honest with this review. There are numerous malapropisms, spelling and grammatical errors.
There were several instances that I considered giving up on this book/series. But the story is really quite good. I just wish I didn't feel the need to report content errors. Even though it became overwhelming at times.
I'm going to begin the next book, in the series, and I'm really hoping there are less errors.

Noooooo

I’m saddened at how this book end and yet I can’t stopped turning the page and wanting more. This story can go infinitely and I hope you take us there to many more chapters…

4*

This is much better, the best in the series so far. This one only took me 2 days to read. I still struggle a little with the way it’s written, sometimes less is more.

Morgana is definitely my favourite character so far, so much mystery surrounds her. Oh and Alice, what a cracker!


I would’ve given this a higher rating, if not for all the mistakes. Quite a few grammatical errors and spelling mistakes.
