I'm still not a fan of Dorian or Kiyo. She needs to learn how to stand on her own feet without leaning on men. She got so upset/ annoyed/ offended at the detective's attitude toward women but she's not helping her image any. I think she did the right thing at the end of the book. But that's just the mom in me speaking.

Predicted what was going to happen. But I still enjoyed the book nevertheless.

Too much smut for smuts sake. I love the author, but it detracted from the story.

I really don't like Eugenie. Really very strong dislike.

These do keep getting better and better, even if I did not like the events in book 2. Why does that always happen?
Also she does change between her lovers...a lot! I am Team Dorian, I know he will loose, but the Fox can not be trusted. Not that Dorian can be trusted either, but he is hot.
And Genie is a mess, sure she can be kick.ass, but she also gets her ass kicked...a LOT.
BUT, I like her, I like the love triangle, even if I am Team Dorian, and even if he only is using her so that their kid could take over the world one day.
And when she is in Faerie she can kick ass, and I like that her dark side wants to take over. I like how fast I could finish the book.
All in all, great book. I hope the series ends with a great one too

I spent the majority of this book really irritated at Eugenie. She just seems to spend the whole book making stupid decisions and then being all 'woe is me' and blaming other people when her bad decisions have bad consequences.

Overall quite predictable and Eugenie's internal conflicts about Dorian and Kiyo just get a bit annoying for the most part.

After eagerly awaiting the next installment in the series, it upsets me to say that I was slightly disappointed in this book. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed the book, its just had some flaws that made me give it the 4 stars instead of the normal 5.
We start of shortly after the last book ended, Eugenie is now with Dorian and things seems to be going rather well between the two of them (yay!). Genie is spending more time in the Otherworld than her human world, she has become stronger an things seems to be going well. That is until she is greeted by a ghost who wants Eugenie to help her find out who murdered her. Of course she refuses saying that its not her line of work, etc. Shortly after that Genie finds a Seeress who tells her of a quick escape in this war that is going on, all she needs to do is find the Iron Crown, that will solve all of her problems. She also dismisses that quickly but we all know she always goes back and ultimately says yes.
After more encounters with the ghost and the seeress she asks Dorian about it and at first is wary, but then is all for it, even saying that Kiyo should help her (boo). After that is settled they head out to find it, and of course she finds it and all is well.
Major spoilers!!
All in all, liked the book, can't wait for the next one. I hope its better than this and the ending works out well. The sex scenes weren't too bad. Team Dorian all the way!

Well wrong, Euqenie finds out that Dorian deceived her and that the crown can rip away the land of another king or queen and let her take the land. She gets up set, has sex with Kiyo and of course they get back together, again (double boo) She starts spending time in the real world again. Then she finds out Jasmine is kidnapped by Katrice and has to save her. To her dismay it comes down to her having to use the crown, and she now is queen not only of Thorn but also of Rowan. Not what she wanted but hey, what can you do? Things settle down until she is not feeling well and then bam, she is pregnant. With twins. All of this happens quickly Kiyo and her are done again and she asks for Dorian's forgiveness. He finds out about the babies and they are talking and the book pretty much ends there. I'm still holding out that she ends up with Dorian, both men have flaws but Kiyo just sucks.All in all, liked the book, can't wait for the next one. I hope its better than this and the ending works out well. The sex scenes weren't too bad. Team Dorian all the way!

When shaman-for-hire and half fairy queen, Eugenie, starts a war in the Otherworld, it's tougher to end it than she'd realized. Not willing to back down, but eager to put the enemy in her place, Eugenie hears about the iron crown-- a mythical object that gives great status to the person who wields it. The test? Journeying to the ends of the Otherworld to face it's monsters. As Eugenie prepares for the daunting task, she finds that even her trust is being tested...
After the high I experienced in the last book, I was expecting it to carry me through the third. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the awesomeness of the previous instalment. To read the rest of the review, please visit A Reading Kabocha @ http://areadingkabocha.blogspot.com
