Ani is neither Fey nor mortal, though she has been leaning to one side as of late. Her hunger for touch and for emotion sets her apart from the rest of the Hounds. When the courts begin targeting her as a valuable asset, she runs. She is not alone, however, as the third oldest faery in existence is there to protect her, guide her, and nourish her. Quickly, she and Devlin realize they were destined for each other, and not even the brewing war can make them turn back now.
It has been a couple years since I read Fragile Eternity, book 3. So I was a little behind in all that was happening. On the plus side, the change in characters was not as jarring. I loved Ani!!! She is exactly what I love in a main character: strength, optimism, and some snark (or a lot, in her case). I loved Devlin too, but who wouldn't? He's sexy and strong, albeit a little old for Ani (like, REALLY old). I suppose when one is immortal, age isn't even a number anymore.
There was a lot of plot in this book! Things were constantly happening, and I had no choice but to finish it quickly. There was a lot of steamy stuff as well to keep it interesting. Never over the top or cheesy.
I was kept guessing along with Ani, not quite sure where things were going. I loved it. At some points, however, I felt truly lost. Sometimes Devlin and Ani would have a conversation that would leave me feeling like I had missed something. I also didn't get the whole weird chanting thing at the end, and didn't know how all three of them just randomly seemed to know what to do and say, although I had no idea where the incantation came from. The weird Devlin thing at the end bothered me too. Won't give too much away, but if I was Ani I would be creeped out that my eternal boyfriend also had this other woman he wanted (romantically? I'm not sure, but it sure seemed like it).
I loved this book! I am always immediately drawn in by Melissa Marr's world!
4.8/5
