*This review may contain spoilers for previous novellas in this series.*Enchanted runs parallel with Bloodhound, the fourth book in the Rise of the Unseelie series. What is fascinating about this novel is we really see just how much her addiction has affected her by the third book. In Cursed we see that London's moral boundaries are more black and white, but book three whatever is left of her morality is nearly gone as she lets her addiction to the Touch take over.It's excellent character development and quite opposite from what you see in most urban fantasy heroines. I like that she's not really a heroine according to the traditional definition, but not really a bad guy... or gal. Archer and Ravynheart do a phenomenal job at making you really sympathize with London. Despite making life difficult for the unseelie fey you can't help but want to see her survive.It'll be interesting to see what happens to her character as the series continues to progress but now that she's inflicted the wrath of Donovan, and the unseelie fey are hunting her, I can't imagine it will be good.It was also interesting to see Kieran's reaction though to being kidnapped. He didn't react nearly as much as Malcolm and while frightened at first there was also a bit of sympathy for her character as well. I'm definitely looking forward to see how Archer and Ravynheart will work that angle into the story.It's been a while since I've read a series that has captivated me this much and I can't stop raving about it. Every time I think I have it figured out there's always a new twist that completely catches me off guard. Forget everything you thought you knew about the fey, vampires and werewolves--this series completely redefines urban fantasy and the supernatural monsters that go along with it.
