Synopsis

A magical mercenary is crowned a queen of the Otherworld—an honor could cost her life—in the New York Times bestselling author's paranormal thriller.

Eugenie Markham is a shaman for hire, paid to bind and banish creatures from the Otherworld. But after her last battle, she's also become queen of the Thorn Land. It may sound nice, but her kingdom is in tatters, her love life is in chaos, and Eugenie is eager to avoid a prophecy about her firstborn destroying mankind. Now young girls are disappearing from the Otherworld, and no one—except Eugenie—is willing to find out why.

Eugenie has spilled plenty of fey blood in her time, but this enemy is shrewd, subtle, and nursing a very personal grudge. And the men in her life aren't making things any easier. Her boyfriend Kiyo is preoccupied with his pregnant ex, and sexy fey king Dorian always poses a dangerous distraction. With or without their help, the reluctant queen has a sworn duty to uphold, even if it means facing the darkest and deadliest side of her nature.

*** 4 *** A buddy read with the UF masochists at BB&B! Well, this book went to a place I did not expect when I started it... And I am not truly sure how I feel about it. I only know that it got very emotional and a bit depressing, as well as rage inducing toward the end... It began soon after the end......more

SPOILERS!!!!!!! So it started out a little slow, but the book got really good. I REALLY enjoyed the first in the series and this one, after the first few chapters, really built upon the fun of the last one. I like how this series is breaking the "modern-day magic kick ass woman user solving crimes" b......more

Goodreads review by Emma on August 21, 2016

I really liked the way the MC developed in this story and came into her role in the Other world. Mead writes with a tongue in cheek sense of humour which is very welcome. Relationships evolve, develop, deteriorate too. Looking forward to the rest of the series!......more
