Can you trust the dark when you know that it lies?

Kierse McKenna just shattered the Monster Treaty. Again.

It wasn’t entirely her fault. The job was supposed to be simple: steal a goblin-made bracelet off of the Queen of the Nymphs in her own palace. Trade the bracelet for a way to uncover the truth about her past. Except everything goes sideways.

And then he shows up to save her.

Graves—the warlock who ensnared her, betrayed her, and left her to fend for herself. He’s a villain. A monster draped in charm and shadows. And gods help her, he always knows exactly what she wants.

But Graves never does anything for free. He has a job for his favorite little thief. One that will pit her against the most powerful monsters in existence, including his mortal enemy, the Oak King.

An ancient artifact has been located, and only together can they hope to steal it. She just has to let him in.

But once she lets a monster in, he’s impossible to forget… and even harder to resist.

Through 20- I am thinking I needed to read book 1 to have a better understanding. May need to reread this one also.

I have read book 1, and I do think you need to read the first one first to truly understand what this one is about.

I'm planning on reading this one.

I’m too far into this story now. Will start over when I finish lol

In 40-(view spoiler)[she knows he is manipulating her,but graves was willing to die for her. That has to mean more than a sexual desire for both of them (hide spoiler)]

In 45-to me (view spoiler)[ it is difficult to reconcile the monsters, magic, druids etc in the modern world with plugging in cell phones, cars, mri machine, mental health therapy, etc (hide spoiler)]

finished-omg(view spoiler)[how could it end like that??????? I am stunned, WTF, I hope there is a next one out already! (hide spoiler)] I may have been lost but really liked this story and need more, lol!

Started this one this morning...

Part 1: (view spoiler)[Of course, Kierse and Graves are playing their games. These two have such chemistry. I'm curious when Lorcan will come back into play. (hide spoiler)]

Part 2: (view spoiler)[I'm so curious about Kierse's parents. Are they alive? no? I feel like they might be (hide spoiler)]

Part 3: (view spoiler)[Lorcan is her soul mate? Or was it heart mate?? There is no way!! (hide spoiler)]

Part 4: (view spoiler)[I feel like Lorcan has something to do with the magic block. I also can't believe that he's her soulmate. Could he do a magic spell to make it 'look' like he is? But really Graves is? (hide spoiler)]

Part 5: (view spoiler)[Who is the curator????? Is it Lorcan?? I don't think he's a good guy like we are supposed to believe... (hide spoiler)]

Part 6 (end): (view spoiler)[I don't believe that Nate is dead. Nope. I won't accept it. I also don't believe that Graves is a bad guy. Nope. And did the cauldron make Kierse a full fae now? Hmmm.... (hide spoiler)]
