I started this book without knowing what to expect. I figured I'd end up skimming and found myself reading beginning to end...for three days! This book consumed me and that is rare. It's a different kind of fae story for me and I truly enjoyed it. Thank you Ms. Kennedy!The magic, characters and setting drew me in and held me captivated to the very end. I actually scrolled down an extra page at the end to make sure there wasn't more, and wishing there was. LOL The Black Dog creeped me out, but I wanted to know it's purpose too and it surprised me when I learned it.The characters, main and secondary, were excellently defined and well thought out, as was each scene. I adored Larch and Dragonfly (mean author! ;) Just kidding, but did you have to do THAT?) I was a bit disappointed the heroine wasn't a strong kick-ass by the end instead of still seeming confused and 'new-to-this-sorceress-thing,' but she really was still new by the end so that was okay. I knew she would get there off stage in time, so that made it a satisfying end. Rogue intrigued me, while making me love and get angry at him at the same time...much the way I felt Gwynn/Jennifer felt about him much of the book. Nice twist for me.Over all, I would read more from author Jeffe Kennedy in a red hot minute! This story deserved winning the paranormal novel category in the 2nd annual IDA contest. Congrats!
