While the blurb for MG1 (A Kiss of Shadows) was all about Meredith returning to Faery Court and weathering assassination attempts, this book's blurb promises Meredith must "fend off an ancient evil that could destroy the very fabric of reality". This one should have more action and mystery to it from the blurb. Let's hope it delivers, since the 1st book just didn't do it for me.

I felt Merry et al didn't have to work at all to solve the crime and beat the bad guy at the end. Enter random character who solves all mysteries! -__-; Even so, read much better than 1st book in series. Not too bad, overall. 3 of 5 stars, perhaps.

This story is definitely reading faster than the first, likely because it has actual plot elements. Some reek of AB:VH, but at least there is action. I'd prefer more action to yet more sex, but the balance is just a little better in this book.

I'm unsure how Maeve Reed wanting a baby from Merry et al even remotely comes close to Merry 'fending off an ancient evil that could destroy the very fabric of reality' or 'the very existence of the place known as Faerie is at grave risk'. 1/3 through the book, and I still don't see the actual plot. Not a good sign.

Enjoying this a bit more than "A Kiss of Shadows". Kitto is always intriguing, and I still enjoy Frost. Not understanding Doyle, but we'll see how that unfolds. It's sort of slow to start with the action and plot. Relationship drama is obviously A-plot here. I want more B-plot. XD
