Book two, here we go! When last we saw Emelle, she and her Genfins were readying for the royal tournament, where the Genfins would be forced to compete against other exiled fae in order to return to their home and keep their lives. In this second edition, Emelle is confronted with the realization that her very existence is dependent on the survival of her Genfins, lest she should be returned back to the Veil and her connection to the physical realm severed. She keeps her predicament secret from the men, fearful that they will feel pressured to remain with her once the tournament is over, or worse, that they will prove their indifference for her and turn their backs on her to pursue a mate of their own. But as the tournament progresses, Emelle’s concerns for the Genfins’ feelings towards her will become the least of her worries.

In order to remain close to the Genfins and keep the bond tying them together, and her to the physical realm, strong Emelle must ally herself with Princess Soora and prove she can be a valuable asset to the Resistance rearing to overthrow Prince Elphar and his family’s rule. Emelle is in way over her head, and she is unsure of who to trust. She will need the support of her guys, along with a new and passionate male who has sworn to protect her, if she is going to keep her physical body, and her life.

I loved getting to follow Emelle’s story again and to see how she handled the newest challenges being thrown her way. She is such a naïve and worldly character at the same time. She has no experience with the real world, that she can remember, but she has stood on the sidelines for half a century and is so excited for every new experience she has. I love her childlike innocence and her womanly wiles, and how those two contradictory traits melded so well in Emelle. I would highly recommend this series!

The servants race is literally called «Brownies» and are described as typically black people. they get their power from cleaning and they «want» to serve their high fae lords.. That’s too blatant to be anything other than on purpose.

This one was the best of the 3, with the story progressing and finally some feels and lovin'.
The quotes are what speaks for the fun of this book, way better than I could!

"He looks around at my plethora of empty plates on the floor and sees gluttony. I see success."

"My vagina closes the curtains and pretends not to be at home."

“I’m sprouting black like an emo teenager and leaking Lust out of my mouth. It’s definitely not okay. I’m broken.”

"His blue eyes smolder as if hearing that makes him want to carry me to the bedroom. “You bet your tight ass we are.” Said ass perks right up because it is tight, and it likes being noticed."

All these and many more delightful tidbits, enjoy!
