Book Description:
For once, mated werewolves Charles and Anna are not traveling because of Charles’s role as his father’s enforcer. This time, their trip to Arizona is purely personal, as Charles plans to buy Anna a horse for her birthday. Or at least it starts out that way...
Charles and Anna soon discover that a dangerous Fae being is on the loose, replacing human children with simulacrums. The Fae’s cold war with humanity is about to heat up—and Charles and Anna are in the cross fire.
Have I mentioned that I love this series?
Yes? Okay, well just in case I hadn't I thought it bared repeating, I love this series!
It is just so much fun and Anna and Charles and just..the best were couple out there. I just love their growing relationship and their love for one another. It truly is sweet and just something special.
Once again Anna and Charles find themselves in the middle of chaos and a sup war, or almost war at any rate. Tension is rising as not only the weres have come out but the fae as well and nothing good ever happens from playing with fairies.
Do these two ever get to rest and have fun?
But, it's okay because no matter what they are tangled up in, they learn and grow stronger together and as individuals each new adventure and I think I love that most about this series.
I love that once again Agent Fisher is in this! I loved her from book three and it was so nice to see her again and I loved that this delved deeper into Charles's past before Anna. It was nice seeing a slightly different side of him that not many get to see, including Anna.
I loved how truly nasty the fae are in this series. Very few of them are good and I like that side of them. I enjoyed seeing Jacob and all of his family. I am really hoping we get to see more of them in the future as well.
I loved the ending. It wasn't a cliffhanger by any means but it was a tease and a very good one at that. I love what it means for Charles and Anna and I can't wait to see what happens with it and how it will all come about and unfold.
Once again, this was a delight to read and a great addition to the series.

AHHHHH I am so behind. I feel like I am missing out on so much. I need to buy book 3 right now!
ReplyDeleteYou do, you really do! I just adore this series.
DeleteI love books that show Fae as nasty and fierce creatures! It's so much more interesting
ReplyDeleteI think so as well. ;)
DeleteI think I may try out this series. It does sound really good, and the relationship sounds like one that won't be easily broken over silly things. The fae sound really cool too.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't which is why I love it so much. :)
DeleteOh Wow three of my fave, bloggers have reviewed this today.
ReplyDeleteIt is now a MUST on my list :)
Thanks
xo
Yay!
DeleteWow you blew right through that series. I have read nothing but fantastic reviews for this book and that has convinced me to dive into this series as soon as possible. I am currently working through Kate Daniels though.
ReplyDeleteI think Kim and I both did! I do hope you try it, I think you will like it.
DeleteI did read book 0.5 and 1 but I'm not that taken for this series so I never read book 2 which is in my TBR pile for years but well after all the good reviews for this one maybe I should try again.
ReplyDeleteThis was definitely better than the prequel and I really liked the prequel. ;)
DeleteOooh, Charles and Anna are just sounding so good right about now! I like the fact the Fae are dark (for the most part) in this one as well. So happy this is turning out to be such an awesome series to read. I so want to get to it. Soon ...Lol.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday Ali!! :)

I know, it is hard when there are so many out there isn't it? This one really is worth bumping up the pile though. ;)
DeleteHappy Friday Kim!
Okay, ya'll just suck now. Everyone is taunting me with this series, and I know I have a long ways to go. lol.
ReplyDelete:P
DeleteYep, the Fae were creep-tastic Ali..so glad to see you loved this as well, I do prefer the audio version though
ReplyDeleteI should try the audio sometimes, I bet it is great!
DeleteI cannot believe that it's the first time I hear about this series. It sounds really interesting and I'd love to give it a try. I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Great review :)
ReplyDeleteI do hope you try it, thanks Tanja!!
Delete4.5 stars! That's really high praise indeed. I'm glad to know that this series continues to portray the couple and their relationship ever so strongly. Kate Daniels' series with its relationship between Kate and Curran can be so amazingly frustrating sometimes, but it does get stronger ever installment. I bet it's the same here :D

Not quite as frustrating but like it in some ways although I think Charles is way more mellow than Curran. :)
DeleteI never read this series, but I did notice how the covers get more badass by the sequel. :P
ReplyDeleteAnd I think the characters do as well! ;)
DeleteI love all the squees over this one. I'm going to work on catching up on the series this month :D
ReplyDeleteYay, I hope you love them all as much as I have. :)
DeleteI really am going to read this series someday-I do have the first one in my tbr, Glad you enjoy it so much :)
ReplyDeleteI think you will really like these. :)
DeleteIt's so great finding a series that you just love! :) I'm glad it's not only just a good relationship. I admit I perked up at the mention of war. There might be something wrong with me.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Nah. ;P
DeleteI love this series. Great review! I can't wait to read this one. I'm planning on re-reading all the books in this series soon.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you love this series too!
DeleteI love this series. There are only 4 books out in it so far and I HIGHLY recommend them in audio. They just seem so much richer and "more" through the audio versions. I love it!
