Cassandra is a FBI agent who was sent to England to help with a series of murders, she quickly gets involved personally with the case and find she is part of a whole other world. Being Pixie isn’t easy and with a war breaking out in the fae world will she she be able to step up into her role as Mistress of Dread and keep the war from spilling onto the human realm?

This is the final book in the Dark Fae FBI series and it did tie up all the loose ends of all the books but it was just melodramatic throughout. It would build up to a great point and then it would just fall flat. This is still a great series and I would highly suggest this but just beware in the last book not being all that it could have been.

The beginning of this series was fantastic. The urban fantasy I had been hoping to find. But as the series went on, it started to jump all over the place. Sections of each book were really good but all the angsty romance stuff just seemed out of place and in some ways unnecessary. I enjoyed Roan’s “lust magic” but all of the we cannot and you are not worthy and come here, go away got really irritating. Some of the “surprises” weren’t and some twists felt a bit gratuitous. Fir me, thus series didn’t reach its full potential.

This is the final book in a series than unexpectedly hooked me in. I have to say that overall I liked the series and I had a good time reading it but I don't think it would be one that I would reach for again. I also think that from the first book to this very last book that if you only read those two books, you would think that they were from two different series. What drew me into reading the series in the first place was it was supposed to be about a fae serial killer so basically a mix of mystery with fantasy but this last book is straight fantasy. I kind of wish it kept the vibe of the first book because that felt like such a cool concept but then it ends with fae courts at war and don't get me wrong I love fae and fantasy but it became kind of a generic idea that I've read about in many other books rather than the unique concept that drew me in in the first place. I think I still liked it and I was happy that Roan and Cass got together at the end I just don't know if I delivered on everything I was expecting out the series. Also, I still don't really like her friend Scarlett. Cass talks about Scarlett as her best friend and it's clear that Cass cares about her friend but I just don't feel like Scarlett reciprocated her friendship. I don't know, I'm just not the biggest fan over her. Overall, I still liked the series but i this one is just a one and done kind of series for me, I don't see myself reaching for it again.
