Rating: 3 out of 5

Wiley James never fit in normal society. Underneath her human exterior awaited a monster. The only place she felt comfortable was in the Alaskan wilderness. The trip she took this particular time was no different, at least until three scary hunters appeared out of nowhere and kidnapped her. They took her to their world, the Dark Lands, claiming she was born there. Worse, one of her kidnappers claimed her betrothed.This second installment provides the background information from "The Charmer" that concerns Wiley and Jayems. This isn't a full book and at the top of the first page, there's an author's note warning readers "The Charmer" isn't meant to stand alone, but neither is this book. It's a companion to the first. Readers should also be warned, this story contains lots of summary as to not repeat information.Personally, I'm thrilled the author separated the two couples, Keilor/Jasmine and Jayems/Wiley, but I feel their story could have been presented better than this. At the current price of $2.99, I'm afraid fans won't feel it's worth the price. Still, I love this series and don't regret getting this book.On a last note, this series should be read in order. Here are the titles:1.Dark lands: The Charmer(formerly Teasing Danger)2.Dark Lands: Coming Home(formerly Homecoming)3.Dark Lands: Scent of Danger(formerly Something Wild)4.Dark Lands: The Golden Bell(formerly Fallon)5.Dark Lands: Beast Wars(formerly Bad Moon Rising)6.Dark Lands: Ghost in Her HeartI've read the first three and plan on reading the remaining three too.
