Maureen Child continues this Queen of the Otherworld Series with another book that will have the reader feeling enthralled by the Fae. It’s hard to put down as Culhane’s male chauvinism has us gritting our teeth, hoping someone can bring him into the twenty-first century. But he’s so loveable we hope he can handle it. Bezel, an ornery but loveable Pixie, isn’t gorgeous but he fills the pages he’s on with smiles at his skills as chef and his loyalty to Maggie,

The Dullahan and Mab manage to do everything they can to keep the book intense with suspense and their truly nasty dispositions. Maggie’s family and friends like Claire, the psychic witch, are excellent characters who give us hope that the future might be secure. Throughout, the romance between Culhane and Maggie is one of those love stories we love to read. On again off again with her feelings, Maggie stands up to the warrior, refusing to give in until he can treat her with respect. Readers can’t help but admire her even though she seems to want to sit on the fence if she can, like many of us, when decisions will change lives. Maureen Child continues to prove her writing skills will keep her among my must-read favorites with another excellent tale.
