Review:

*I received an ecopy of this book from the author. This has not influenced my review.*

This book was a little different from the others in the series because this was the book when Vince was done grudgingly waiting around for Abarta to make his next move and done denying his sidhe side. He was ready to put his full effort into fighting back, and it definitely changed the tone of the book, in a great way.

Things have gotten worse in the protected city of Kinsale, so this time, Vince and his friends form a whole group in order to gather/disseminate information and protect the population, and it was really nice seeing so many people work together to fight for their home. But of course, things always go awry for poor Vince, and this book had just as much intensity, if not more, than the previous books. Lots of action, lots of fights and battle scenes, lots of violence, lots of magic being thrown around.

Vince really kicked his badass factor up a notch this time. He also started to embrace his sidhe side more this time, knowing that he had to if he wanted to have any chance of winning, and it’s always interesting to see more of that cold, powerful side of him. I love how powerful and scary the fae in this series are. It was also very interesting to see a certain memory that surfaced of his childhood in the Unseelie Court, and I’m itching to know more about that.

Another difference in this book was that it seemed Vince didn’t spend as much time with his usual crew, but he did get acquainted with a couple new characters and spent more time with a character who only briefly appeared in a previous book.

Overall, this was another great book in this post-apoc urban fantasy series that continued to up the ante, and I’m really enjoying getting to see more and more of Vince’s kick-butt fae side!

    Yes, I love when books build in intensity! Give me all the building intensity and I will be a very happy reader. I am glad you could enjoy some of the differences this book brought from the rest of the series. I like the sound of him being a lot more kick-butt and also getting to know some new characters well too. Great review and glad you enjoyed this one ^.^

    That sounds nice how this book changed the tone a bit. Sounds like quite the intense book with everything going on and all the action scenes. That sounds interesting how this book deals more with his side side. I recently grabbed book 1 when it was free as I remembered your reviews for this series.

      It’s nice when a book can add some variety and growth with the tone over the course of the series without changing too much. This is definitely a powerful version of the fae, so it’s cool to see more of that!

    I’m reading BirdBox by John Malerman. I have seen the movie on Netflix before reading the book. It’s really intense as it goes on. Supposedly John Malerman is writing the sequel right now.
    Earlier I read a good book series called Echo by Kent Wayne. The fourth book did build up in intensity. It had a real happy ending. I just don’t like when books don’t have real endings.

      I haven’t seen the movie or read the book, but it’s always sounded interesting! Ooh yes, intensity! I don’t like when books don’t really have an ending either.
