In a world where humans have died out because of a war between sidhe and were, Keira was left with few options. Daughter of a were hooker, Keira ended up in a debt bondage to the were's and now follow in her mother's footsteps. In a world where magic means everything she has too little, and none of the magical realms wants to claim her and save her. The few times that she can escape her servitude life, she ends up at a magical store run by a sidhe Barrett. Her longing for him grows to fascination and he occupies her dreams constantly, but she can do nothing but fantasize about him. As a were servant her life was of no means. That is until he calls for her one night.She learns that she is the next Queen of the sidhe and that he was about to rescue her from her life. If she doesn't master her powers before her 21st birthday, the were bracelet keeping her to service will collide with her powers and kill her.She is thrown into a world where she must learn to control her magic in time to become queen. But her longing for Barett is undeniable and she can't help but lust after him. Would he love her back, or was she just a job to complete?Keira is feisty and full of surprises. She embraces her new role in the sidhe world, but doesn't feel the same about her herself as a prize for Barette. Barrett character was strong and confident. Centuries old he holds grace and wisdom, however this wisdom disintegrates around Keira leaving him utterly foolish. Renn was the star of the moment in many cases, spunky little fairy we have here.I found the plot interesting and fascinating and kept wondering when the two of them would get it that there is so much more than just duties involved. I loved that a new magical world was created out of a doomed earth, and the parts magical beings played in them. If this would have been turned into a full novel the world created could have been so much more. Amy's writing style is easy going and professionally delivered. I hope to see more novels with this post-apocalyptic world created by her and also from more from some of the other characters.My favorite quote: "We coexisted with those bastards for thousands of years. The minute they got a whiff they weren't the only ones on the planet, they overreacted,"[...]
