This book was an interesting start to a trilogy that promises to be exciting.I'm gonna jump right into it and discuss the gorgeous Irish men who fill the pages of this story.Liam was delectable. A real charmer, and even though I had my suspicions about him, I moved them a side for the time being, because who can resist a sexy foreign accent and those gorgeous grey eyes. Although Liam had the prince charming act down pat, I was extremely intrigued by the 'shadow man', as I like to refer to him, Clay. He had that dark, mysterious, bad boy appeal and I couldn't wait for him to make more of an appearance. I also had my suspicions about his motives, though.I'm not really sure how I felt about Aria. She wasn't a complete flake, but she was just a little too nave and clueless. I mean, anyone who thinks about giving, douchebag Doug, a second chance has obviously never heard of the saying, "Fool me once, shame on you; Fool me twice, shame on me."And then to top it off, she was so easily swayed to forget the pact she made with her girls. And I couldn't believe that she didn't even think twice about traipsing across the world for a guy, no matter how she felt about him. Silly, silly girl. Even after shadow man's warning and the strange electric spark that passed between her and Liam whenever they touched.I guess we've all had those moments of weakness when our heart wins the race before our mind has even had a chance to process things properly. But Aria's actions were far more dangerous than simply resulting in a broken heart. Something she soon found out when things went pear-shaped in Ireland.Overall I really enjoyed the mythology in this story and the spin Bernel put on the Fae folklore. It was an enthralling read and I was sucked in from the beginning.Readers of YA Paranormal Romances will love every bit of this story, and I for one am excited to read book 2
