Hunger for nourishment.
Hunger for touch.
Hunger to belong.
Half-human and half-faery, Ani is driven by her hungers.
Those same appetites also attract powerful enemies and uncertain allies, including Devlin. He was created as an assassin and is brother to the faeries' coolly logical High Queen and to her chaotic twin, the embodiment of War. Devlin wants to keep Ani safe from his sisters, knowing that if he fails, he will be the instrument of Ani's death.
Ani isn't one to be guarded while others fight battles for her, though. She has the courage to protect herself and the ability to alter Devlin's plans - and his life. The two are drawn together, each with reason to fear the other and to fear for one another. But as they grow closer, a larger threat imperils the whole of Faerie. Will saving the faery realm mean losing each other?
Alluring romance, heart-stopping danger, and sinister intrigue combine in the penultimate volume of Melissa Marr's New York Times bestselling Wicked Lovely series.
MY REVIEW
I liked this book, although it isn't my favorite by Melissa Marr, I really loved Ink Exchange the best(Irial is my favorite character and we get to see inside his mind there). Now don't get me wrong, this isn't a bad book and it does take place in the fairy world we all love so much that Melissa Marr has created for our enjoyment. I will admit I'm not a big fan of the cover, the girl on the cover looks kind of like a tranny LOL(no offense against trannies). This book is filled with the action and romance you can come to expect when you pick up a book by Melissa Marr. The story takes place through the eyes of Devlin, brother and advisor to the High Queen, assassin, and keeper of order. Ani, half mortal half fey, daughter of the leader of the hounds Gabriel. And Rae, used to be mortal, now dreamweaver(can go in peoples' dreams and also connect the dreamers). When Ani was but a lil girl Devlin was ordered to kill her by the High Queen Sorcha. Now 14 years later Sorcha misses her Son Seth(adopted son) and orders Devlin to go check up on him. Meanwhile Ani is trying to feed her constant hunger for touch and emotion, which only she has and is unheard of in the fairy world(she can feed from both fey and mortal), while giving samples of her blood to Irial so he can have them tested. While out looking for Seth Devlin encounters Ani and starts to fall for her. Bananach(Sorcha's twin, War) has given orders to Ani to kill Seth, Irial, and Niall(the Dark King). Ani refuses and runs away with Devlin, soon they develop feelings for each other. At Sorcha's kingdom she runs into Rae in her dreams and realizes she can see Seth in her dreams when she couldn't in real life. While Sorcha spends all her time dreaming and looking at Seth her kindom soon starts to fall apart and Bananach soon starts killing everyone fey and mortal in her path of destruction.
