Fairies lie. Humans lie. Half-fairy, half-humans lie. Jude’s not great at the whole honesty thing either. This urban fantasy throws us into a world set up human versus fairy with those claiming heritage from both sides are stuck in the middle. They have to pick a side. After being double-crossed by one of the few people she trusted, Jude is recruited to help the Fairies stop that same man from converging the two worlds together. But who can she trust, really?

One of the things I liked most about this book is our main character. Jude is not perfect and sometimes unlikable but not so unlikable that I don’t want to see her succeed. All the characters are so well done. I wish I could punch Aubrie myself. Abe is my favorite though. By far the most likable in my opinion. 

This book hit the ground running and did not stop. Action from start to finish. You might think that would make the story a little busy, but it does not. The pacing is so well done. There’s a lot of characters, but nobody gets lost in the shuffle. I think all the characters are well rounded no matter how big a part they play in the story. I just loved the writing in this book overall.

You can read this as a stand alone, but the ending is set up perfectly for a sequel or series of books. I don’t know the author’s plans, but I hope we see more work from them set in this world in particular.
