{my thoughts} – This book picks up right where the last one has left off. Shade has finished her journey and she is back home. She is summoned to go on a trip to talk to a Prince. She discovers that the Prince is the same one that had helped save her life when she had fallen off course on her previous journey. Her and Dylan are still blood bound, however they are able to be apart despite how much it makes them both ache inside to know that they are not with one another. Shade continues going to and from Faerie as she pleases while her mother and siblings appear to be oblivious to her actions.
Soon we find out that she isn’t the only powerful one in her family and a lot of unanswered questions are answered. We find out where she really comes from: who her father was, what his powers were and who his mother was. We find out many other things as well. We find out just hoe strong and ambitious Shade can be as well, there is much I want to say but won’t because I do not like spoilers, however, read the book your missing out on a lot if you don’t.
This book was a wonderful read. It flowed nicely with the previous two and kept right on track. I am enjoying seeing how everything is tied together. Everything and Everyone. It’s amazing what wonderful pictures authors are able to paint in your mind with just their words. Simply amazing.
If you want to know more about Shade, Jade and her Siblings, this book is definitely for you.

It was extremely slow. Nothing happened until like literally the last twenty pages. The first one was better. More things were happening. Not to mention the fact that Dylan was gone through most of it. Just a bit frustrated with this book.

I received this book in return for a honest review as part of the R2R for the Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy Fanatics! group on goodreads. This is the continuation of Shades story from the first book Ever Shade. So just a recap from book one Shade has a chance meeting with a Teleen Faery who leads her off to the Seelie Faerie Court where she learns that she is a halfling part faery and part human. However it isn't as it appears and in a attempt on her life she accepts a blood bond from the brother. Shade is sent to find the Santiran Fountain that's water will tip the scales in the Seelie's favor. It's not a easy quest for Shade but she does it meeting many faery some good and some not.
In book two the UnSeelie Queen Aveta is ramping up her powers intent on gaining Shade to control her water magic. Not to far in Shades bodyguard and my favorite guy Dylan is sent home at request of his queen he returns to her court. So through most of the book Shade is alone which isn't to bad because she has Soap aka Rylan to protect her from the threat of the UnSeelie Queen's Lieutenants. In this book Shade learns that her mother Jade is a fire witch as are her siblings, she also learns that her mother has all her memories back. She also briefly get's the meet her grandmother on her father's side before she passes away.
This book was really good, not as good as the first but still really good. I like the characters I really love the whole Shade and Dylan thing it wasn't love at first sight but it's grown into something beautiful. This book is mostly about Shade learning to control her powers, learning who she is and more about the threat from the UnSeelie Queen. The book flows along smoothly well written just like the other I read it in a few hours this morning because I couldn't put it down I just have to know what's going to happen next. So I can't wait to get my hands on the next book I wish I had it now. I enjoy that we get to watch Shade grow into the powerful being that she's going to be, and I enjoy all the different beings too. It's a great book I just wanted more action but that's just me.

4.5 Stars!
I am totally digging this Young Adult Series! There IS a type of love triangle, but it isn't over done. And there is an obvious winner ;-P Well, to me at least.

I received this book free to review from Netgalley, so I went on and got the first two books to read as well. I think this book is better than book one and book 0.5, but it still needs an editor. I don't know why authors chose to publish books without hiring an editor. Alexia, HIRE A GOOD EDITOR! The books would be much better if they were properly edited. The story has action and romance. I am not thrilled about the whole Twilightish two boys are in love with me and what should I do now thing, but the story was still pretty good. I do recommend this book.
