I haven't read book one in the series but I don't think that mattered. Beguiled is about Maggie who defeated Mab (in book one) and is now queen of the Fae. She is struggling with trying to have a normal life while being part of the other world. And then there is Culhane, leader of the Warriors, arrogant, overbearing and sexy as hell. Then hell breaks loose and Mab is back.
It wasn't a bad read but it wasn't a great one either. The dialogue is pretty bad and the plot line worse. Don't even get me started on the ending. I have to say I'm really getting tired of men being all neanderthals who just want to hit women over the head and drag them back to their caves. A little arrogance can be endearing but this much is just repulsive. So it's 2.5 stars from me.
