***I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review***Once again Alexia Purdy has proven just how easy it is to grip a reader and leave them wanting more.  I was fortunate enough to be given an advanced read of the 4th novel in her Dark Faerie Tale series.Ever Wrath picks up shortly after the events of Ever Winter.  Shade has assumed her position as queen of the Seelie Summer Court with her fiancé at her side.  Sadly she has tragically lost a few friends and her mother in a battle with the Unseelie court.  The reader finds Shade travelling with companions to try to find and awaken the Ancient Summer Queen in order to stop the Unseelie Ancient King and current queen from taking over the faerie and human worlds.The little group soon finds themselves in the position of doubting those they thought they could trust and trusting those they had previously doubted.  Enemies find themselves allied against the Unseelie as Shade has to find a way to defeat Arthas once and for all.Purdy works so many incredible twists and turns into her stories that I find it near impossible to put them down.  Her characters are confronted with larger issues of trust, fidelity, and morality and put into situations that would try just about anyone.The lives of the characters are so real to the reader that when they are hurt or scared, you feel those same emotions.  You want to tell them that it will all work out and you want to share in the joyous moments of their lives.I am so incredibly happy that I started reading the Dark Faerie Tale because Ms Purdy has managed to create one of those worlds that you never want to leave.  It's a "happy place" to go to during the stresses of everyday life and she consistently leaves you satisfied yet wanting more.Happy Reading :-)
