Just when I was about to put the book down, it would get interesting again and I couldn't read fast enough. I look forward to reading more about Eugenie/Odile/Dark Swan's story in "Thorn Queen". Looks like I've have found yet another series to follow.

It was more of the fantasy genre than I usually go in for but I like Richelle Mead and the sex was good. As usual she ended the book abruptly.
This was a pretty good book. I will defiantly read the next one!!
