Ivy Morgan hasn't been feeling like herself lately. Not like anyone can blame her. After all, being held captive by a psychotic fae prince hell-bent on permanently opening the gates to the Otherworld is bound to leave some mental scars.
It’s more than that, though. Something dark and insidious is spreading throughout Ivy, more powerful than she could ever imagine... and it’s coming between her and the man she’s fallen deeply in love with, elite Order member Ren Owens.
Ren would do anything to keep Ivy safe. Anything. But when he makes a life altering choice for her, the fallout of his act has far reaching consequences that threaten to tear their lives apart.
If Ivy is going to have any hope of surviving this, she must put aside the hurt and betrayal she feels, and work with not only those she loves, but with an enemy she would rather kill than ever trust. War is coming, and it soon becomes clear that what Ivy and Ren thought they knew about the Order, themselves, and even their enemies, has been nothing but a cluster of dangerous, deadly lies.
Ivy knows she must be more than just brave to save those she loves--and, ultimately, to save herself.
Because behind every evil fae Prince, there’s a Queen….
Review
This is the first book I've managed to read after my brain injury ( I got a bloodcloth in my brain) and I just couldn't focuse enough to read. But I managed to read this one and I'm so glad I did.
In hindsight it might have been better to reread the first two books before reading this one because I noticed I was a little hazy on the details.
What is this book all about
This book picks up where the last one ended. Ivy got rescued from the evil prince and is now hiding with people that she never thought would exist, good fae that don't feed on humans.
Ivy has been through some horrible stuff and it's not something one just gets over. She is struggeling and the people around here are struggeling to help her. But excaping the clutched of the evil prince doesn't mean it's over. He still wants to make apocolyps baby and Ivy isn't down with that.
The prince is hunting her down, but are things really what they seem? Are the things you were told the actual truth?
What did I like about this book
I liked how real this book was. Eventhough fae aren't real, ptsd and trauma is and it was portrayed in a very realistic manner in my opinion. In some books we see heroines struggle for a page and then be totally fine with everything and all is good again. It's not that I wanted Ivy to struggle but for the sake of the story i'm glad she did.
I just love Ren, I mean who doesn't melt when a tall, hot, muscled guy with piercing green eyes calls you "sweetness", and don't lie to me, I know you do. I love how he was willing to stay with Ivy to the end, through everything. Yes they faught but he never gave up.
I absolutely adore Tink, he might be one of my favorite characters Jen's ever written. He is so funny and eccentric and full of live. And weird, just love him. It was so funny to see how other fae were reacting to him, especially in his 'adult' form.
Overall I really enjoyed this book. But it doesn't feel like a definite ending to me. I feel like this could be the third book in the series and there could be another one. Not that i'm not pleased with the ending because I am. I just miss a 100% closure.
Also like I hinted at above, be aware of the cliffhangers. There was stuff happening that I did not see coming, ever.
I can't wait for the novella that comes out in 2018 called the prince. You might think 'what the hell, why are you excited to read about that asshole', well read the book and find out why.
