After choosing my love of Frost over the crown of faerie, I, Princess Meredith NicEssus, have decided that my children growing inside me and the men in my life are more important to me than a crown. I also decided that fighting always to keep my crown wasn’t worth dying for. I wanted to be with the fathers of my children and live my life without having to look over my shoulder for an assassin. We decided to go back to Los Angeles and back to Mauve Reed’s mansion and the detective agency. I wanted Doyle and Frost with me of course and Rhys, Galen, Mistral, and Sholto. I know that there is 6 fathers for the 2 babies I carry but the Goddess has granted me the sight to see when the wild magic was around us.

Life has been more laid back when it comes to people trying to kill me but there has been someone or someones killing other fey. It seems that they take a page out of a fairy tale book and try to mimic it. The murders have been really disturbing for us. I don’t want to get anyone in trouble since I am a faerie princess and the media has been hounding me relentlessly. They have found out that I have refused the crown but am still the Queen of the Sluagh to King Sholto. When I come around the reporters seem to grow and get antsy. The lesser fey are starting to get antsy as well. Everyone is looking for a demi fey named Bittersweet. We caught her at one time and she seemed to be a witness to the first murder but when the “fairy godmother” showed up, Bittersweet was entranced and the tension between Merry and the godmother was enough to walk on.

I thought this book was more laid back than the others but I still enjoyed it. I liked having the guards in a more laid back atmosphere. They seem to be… just more. I can’t wait until the next one. I will be anxious to read that one as well. I don’t think it was the best one of this series but it was by no means bad. I was just coming off of reading Swallowing Darkness and all the drama from it and then slowing way down for this one. Its a change since all the series has been fast paced. I was shocked by the twist at the ending. I was pointing my finger at someone else entirely. It was a nice surprise not to know what is going to happen beforehand.
