OMG!! 6 Stars For Sure!!I absolutely LOVE this book!! On the favorites shelf. Better than the 1st in my opinion.Circe is a regular girl who lives in Seattle. One day she wakes up in a human pin. She is surrounded by other woman and it is explained to her that she is to participate in the "Woman Hunt". The gates will open and she has to run because the men of the tribe will hunt them, claim them (if you know what I mean) with our without their permission, and that is how they are married.Lahn is the king of this tribe. He is a savage. He as never participated in taking a wife and is not interested in doing so...until he sees Circe. With her blonde hair and pale skin...she is different than any woman he has ever seen.Now this is a parallel dimension...Circe is not in Kansas anymore (Seattle, but the saying is not as cool). They are speaking a different language...their ways are not her ways. So when the gates open, she runs, when Lahn catches her...she fights...but does not win.She is miserable...she doesn't understand what is happening. She meets a woman who speaks English and they become instant friends. Circe begins to learn about the culture, the language, and she begins to feel for her SUPER HOT, Warrior, husband...who behind closed doors is sweet and gentle with her.She ends up falling in love...and he with her!There are so many trials, a lot to do with that she is a modern girl and he is a savage. Cheating on his wife is natural and Circe won't allow it...So that is something that gets nipped.There is drama between thinking she is the Circe of the fantasy world when she is not that woman. Remember everyone has a twin in the parallel universe...and Circe of Seattle is tied up in the world of Circe of the Fantasyland.This book is sooo good!! I know it is just a story so even though I am not okay with rape and spousal abuse...I understand why they are elements of this story and why they are trials that had to be overcome.
