My Take It’s a bleak existence, attending parties for the sake of social and business advancement. Things get out of hand, however, and everything in Claudine’s world is overturned. And we encounter the double standards and the huge preference for appearance over character that are so disgusting in a society. People’s prejudices and expectations condemn another, mostly because it’s easier. Don’t want to rock the boat, do we? […]
Princess Meredith is trapped in Faerie with a harem of lovers to conceive an heir for the throne. And Mistral, the Queen’s captain of the guard, has helped to awaken old magic.
Attempts against Princess Meredith force Faerie to allow human police inside and sets up Mistral, Master of Storms, into Merry’s arms, awakening ancient magic.
Princess Merry’s dreams are bringing magic back to Faerie, but it’s not enough—or it’s too much—for some. For there are many Sidhe who refuse to see a mongrel queen upon the throne.

Three beautiful daughters—Savannah, Samantha, and Sabrina Wilde—go on with their lives, each significantly changed, as they bear the memory of the murder-suicide that killed their parents. For years, they have stayed away from Midnight, Alabama. Until Midnight calls them home.

I was provided an eARC by NetGalley and Ballantine Books. My Take It’s been awhile since I’ve read this series, and I’ve recently started back up, to catch up with events because I just adore Charlotte and Thomas. Two people who hold to a sense of morality and justice no matter what. It doesn’t hurt that I enjoy reading an historical mystery! This particular story was an odd combination of melodrama, what I consider overly twisted clues — the times when everyone sat down to […]
