Official blurb:
After the fall of Queen Mab, DJ Suzuki resolves herself to an aimless life of entertaining, drinking, and hooking up within the Faerie Realm. After twenty ageless years, she knows she can’t go back to her family, despite the fact that her brother still searches for her and the small voice telling her that her parents might have had a change of heart about her orientation.
When a young woman named Talia shows up at DJ’s workplace desperate for help, DJ sees a way to rid herself of the guilt of staying away: she’ll take Talia where she needs to go if Talia rids DJ’s family of all memory of her. Talia will be safe and DJ will be free to live in the Faerie Realm with a clear conscience. Everyone wins.
Except there’s more to Talia and her situation than she’s letting on. Her pursuers want more than just her. They want the Faerie Court, and Talia is the key to getting it. If DJ can’t get Talia to safety before they catch up, a guilty conscience will be the least of her worries. She just might have a faerie civil war on her hands.
My rating: four out of five stars
This was book two of the series. I did like the first one better. I think I connected with the main character a little more. But this was still a great read.
DJ, the main character of this one, was likeable. The fact that she was running away from both faerie courts and her own past made it interesting.
This is another love story between different characters from the first book. It was sweet and took different paths than I expected. I loved Talia’s character. She balanced out DJ pretty well.
There were new water fae creatures in this one that I loved as well.
And of course, all sorts of faerie court drama!
I was pleasantly surprised that I thought I knew where the story was going, but I was wrong.
The end of the story sets up for another book, and I hope there will be more.
