I dont usually go overboard with books... well mayabe sometimes... but buy this book! even if you havent read the others this is a great place to start.This one follows Merry back to the Seelie court... all pretentions of her being a dectective have dissappeared and this book is just about the fey, thier back-stabbing, sadistic but sexual politics.
Theres a great scene where rhys confronts his fears, where Andais shows how truely sadistic and unhinged she actually is and where it becomes very very clear whos merrys heart belongs too.
Theres also a duel, some very erotic scences and Merry shows us some backbone towards the end of the book!
In this book we get introducted to other guards adair and amatheon may be ones to watch in the next book.
The interesting part of this book is Andais herself, you see a little more of her in this book , but you also see another softer side... well as soft as a masocist can be!
I seriously recommend this book! Buy it, it is well worth the read. Theres a reason LK hamilton fans love her books because you never know whats in the next chapter and theres always questions at the end that leave you waiting for the next book!
