Couldn't put it down!
Darragh is back in the Seelie Court and ready to take back his role as king from his brother, Ulrich, but he will need to plan carefully and focus on his goal. War with the Unseelie Court is on the horizon and he will need to prepare quickly if he resumes his throne. Unfortunately, he can’t keep his mind off Martha. Even though she betrayed him, he is still in love with her, and his preoccupation with the changeling he left in Farrington is interfering with the more important task-at-hand.
Martha has left the brothel and is working with the witches to increase her control over magic. She cannot afford to get caught using magic without a permit again. She is still facing prison or the loss of her magic forever from the last time and will have to appear in front of the Fae King to argue her case.
This book continues with the story of Darragh and Martha from the first book in the series. The characters, along with plenty of intrigue and action, made it impossible to put the book down. My only complaint is that it ends with a giant cliffhanger so I will just have to read the next book!

This is a very promising novel hobbled by poor dialogue and lack of editing. I hate to say it, because the plot is actually quite good.
Martha took some time off from the Brothel to learn witch skills, and upon returning she tries to help a little boy who witnessed a murder. I just think her character is cool, and I can see how she might procrastinate on the Red Tape of getting a license, but it is just as important as learning how to do more than love potions.
Darragh, on his end, spent time gaining the throne for his little kingdom so easily that I sniff a gotcha. There is one: his brother gave him both a throne and a war with a stronger foe. Thanks, bro. Unfortunately, Darragh is obsessed with Martha and cannot stop mooning over her, so the Fae traded a blood-thirsty, immoral king for an incompetent and distracted one. I feel for them.
He needs Martha. Although she is not the kick-ass heroine most authors think we want, she is resourceful, level-headed, and the leader they need. Too bad I couldn't make it to the end.

A storybook tale of a hidden princess and a fae king. Love is hard to hold sometimes and to find and lose and find again but not being able to keep, just makes it worse. So many fae players in this book and Kingdom's wanting to be the top player. A continuing series. Good story.

Loved it
I absolutely loved this book. This book was just as good as the first one.
Remember this book is a retelling of a children's classic fairytale for adults 18+ because of some language and sexual themes.
I need more Darragh and Martha in my life.

This is the second book in the series, and follows straight on from the first. It's a good read but gets a little confusing at times with the jumping between characters' viewpoints. And the cliffhanger? Definitely leaves you wanting book 3!

The editing could have been better but love the series nonetheless.

Loved it! This book had me on the edge of my seat. It leaves with a cliff hanger so I'll be reading book 3 soon.
