A fae lord and a mortal girl strike a bargain for her to save her friends.
I liked this a lot. It reminded me a bit of "An Enchanment of Ravens" and "Uprooted".
I ilked that she didn't give in to the Dreamer and that she didn't fall in love with him.
There are one or two things that are left unanswered in my opinion, which I don't like but still it was a nice folklore based book.
The audiobook helped with the Scottish names and the narrator war good too.
Someone said this had spice in it but other than a few mentions of doing more than kissing there was no real mention or a description of it.
