(Cover and blurb taken from Goodreads)
Official blurb:
War is brewing in the Faery Realm as the Solitary fae become bolder and more powerful. Despite new alliances, it feels like Sirius and his elves are fighting alone. Trouble spills into the Mortal Realm as the Solitary hunt new prey, swelling their numbers with stolen children. The elves struggle to find the Halflings before the Solitary can, but it’s difficult to hunt what they can’t see. But someone else can.
Elise is gifted with the Sight, though she’s more likely to call it a curse. When the elves discover her ability, they know it will be needed for the war against the Solitary. How can Sirius convince someone who wants nothing to do with his world to risk her life to save it?
My rating: four out of five stars
This one was a little different than the first two books in the series. It follows a different main character—Elise, who can see fae past the magic that hides their true forms from mortal eyes.
It took a little while to connect with Elise, but I liked that the side characters from the first books were still present. I just wish Alexis and Molly played more of a role in this book.
I enjoyed getting the elves’ perspective, since they are a separate faction from the faeries. Their magic is so varied and interesting. The fact that Sirius talks to trees nearly melts my heart every time. Sorry, Keir, I may be falling for this one.
The beginning was a little slow for me, but the plot twist made up for it.
And I’m so excited for the next books, and to get to the war that’s been brewing…
