BLURB:

Chris is the guy Cosette always wanted.

Fun. Funny. Lighthearted and sweet. Chris always manages to find beauty and laughter, even when fighting a chapel full of demons. He’s exactly what she needs. Except he’s a werewolf and she’s a member of the Lunar Court — the only fey court that holds sway over the werewolves. Even on his best day, Chris isn’t strong enough to last a few hours in the Lunar Court without becoming a slave. No matter how much Cosette’s heart wants him, she knows she has to let him go.

But when Chris goes missing, Cosette realizes how much she has to lose if the worst happens. Except her mother — the Queen of the Lunar Court — won’t let her go after Chris. Being forced to stay at court is dangerous for Cosette. Assassins keep coming after her, and unless she accepts a mate, it’s only a matter of time before one of them kills her.

Cosette is the girl Chris has always dreamed of.

Chris sees through the tough facade to the girl exhausted from a lifetime of fighting off assassins and court politics. She needs a true friend, someone who she can be herself around, and craves solitude. The same solitude that Chris craves. But he knows he’ll never be enough to survive in her world. So, when Eli — a mysterious archon — requests his help, he figures why not? The guy might be a little shady, but he needs every distraction he can get.

But when Eli says that Cosette’s in trouble, Chris is more than ready to play by Eli’s rules. At least until Eli takes him to the Court of Gales. Chris knows he’s about to play a very dangerous game. Bargaining with the fey is something only a desperate person would do. But what wouldn’t Chris give up to save Cosette’s life?

CHRISTINA’S FOUR STAR REVIEW:

FULL DISCLOSURE: I had NO IDEA that this was the 8th book in this series. NONE!!! I saw the cover and description and was like, “heck yeah, I wanna read this!” Thank goodness the author didn’t make me feel like I missed…EVERYTHING…I actually followed along really well and enjoyed this!!! Please keep this in mind when you read my review…I’m pretty sure my opinion on characters will be different than others.

Chris is a werewolf. Ok, obviously there’s more to that statement. He’s a damaged werewolf. He was beaten, treated like absolute poo by his pack and pretty much left for dead. Until he was rescued by Cosette and Van. After roaming the forest, hiding and trying to come to terms with his wolf, he found himself extremely comfortable around Cosette more so than any other being. But was that because he’s a werewolf and she’s a Fey from the Lunar Court, or because there is true chemistry between them?

Cosette is technically a princess of the Lunar Court. And although most people know what she is, she’s more than that. Acting as a spy for her Queen/Mother for decades has provided more information about the other “beings” than she could count, but after making deals, she’s can’t exactly do much about a few of them. That is until her mother gives her an ultimatum. Knowing her time is running out, it’s time to find a husband before her mother chooses one for her. Too bad Chris isn’t an option….or is he?

I’m not gonna lie, there were times when I was a little bit confused and KNEW that there had to of been more to the story, but then I remembered I’ve missed SEVEN BOOKS!!! LOL

I really enjoyed this one. Learning about how Chris and Cosette met and fell for each other was super sweet. Although following the different Fey and their “ways” was a bit confusing, I still found it fascinating. I was completely pulled in to this story and couldn’t get enough. I’m actually a little mad at myself because I feel like I can’t go back and read the previous books, but that doesn’t mean I won’t try. 🙂
