I nearly gave up on this book. It took a while for me to get into it, because I felt such little sympathy for the characters. Emma and Dexter were just selfish, self-absorbed, self-centered, and focused way too much on their own self-importance. Emma especially seemed contrary for the sake of being contrary. And Dexter was just a spoiled rich boy. I was 1/2 way thru the book before I really started to like them. But, Nicholl's story telling grabbed me and I did really want to see them work things out. In the end, I enjoyed the book and was devastated with Emma's death. At that point, I sort of knew one would die, but it was still heartbreaking. It was one of the only parts of the book when I actually felt "poor Dex". And poor Emma, never getting her baby. But, I'm glad the ending went back to Edinburgh and their kiss, their beginning, which was so sweet! The last few scenes with Dex and Jas were as well. It gave a book that was in so many ways just plain sad, a happy ending. Overall, good book, and in its own way a beautiful, realistic love story.

A book has totally sucked me in when I want to hop on the next plane and travel to its location. This one is no exception. I loved all the information about the Fae and Ireland in general. I like a little history with my fantasy/sci-fi, and romance. I've enjoyed watching MacKayla mature from Southern Belle Barbie to this serious, ass-kicking sidhe-seer. Her chemsitry with Barrons (and Vlane) is off the charts! Let's hope he really isn't gone. I can not wait for the final book to see how it all ends.

This is certainly my favorite of the LotU books. Something about Maddox...The rest pretty much follow the same pattern. What girl doesn't want to tame the 'demon' in a bad boy?? But, I love the combination of Greek Mythology and religion and fantasy, and the romance of it all. There are some really HOT scenes in there! Nice books for escapism.
