First of all, I have to say, Wonderful Cover! It seemed to promise interesting things to come...This book contained many elements that should have worked: scary, cruel, arrogant fae, a wise and strong heroine, and an interesting story line.. It should have worked for me.. It didn't. Somehow I couldn't identify with any character in the book; I couldn't feel anything even when there were supposed to be some scenes and actions that would have provoked anger.Beth Carter, an archaeologist's life gets complicated all of a sudden, when her ass of an ex-husband steals some treasures and a sword present an old Celtic tomb in Ireland and ships it to her to US. And he's an authority in these sort of things after all- who would believe her if she says her ex-husband had stolen the treasures of an old crypt? But, things get worse, when the supposedly-dead owner of the stolen sword shows up. Conn is an ancient Fae warrior. He is determined to get back his stolen sword- the Summoner. But, he has set his sights upon something more- he wants Beth, and is determined to go after her.The fae here are arrogant, cruel, and consider humans beneath them-they pretty much go wherever they want, do whatever they want, take whatever they want- and they have no morals whatsoever- they go raping woman left and right, and then leave them to pine after them and die.Beth and Helene at least have this no-nonsense attitude- that's good. But, consider me a sceptic, but Conn and Miach are centuries old fae, who have been asses throughout those centuries and they try to reform themselves all of a sudden for these two women? But, even though it follows a pattern, it was fun to see Conn change his ways. Still, what could have been a wonderful read for me, just fell short, because it simply did not inspire any feeling at all.There might be other people who would love this, but unfortunately I was not one of them.
