`Incredibly tantalizing’ – Love Reading Romance

The second Faedrah Austiere walked into his life off the canvas, everything in Rhys McEleod’s world stopped making sense. Not only does her story sound like a Grimm’s fairy tale, evidently he’s been cast as the villain. If that isn’t enough, the mirror inside that old, beat up armoire at her uncle’s condo is supposedly a doorway to another world. Ever since the pathway opened, something inside him has seemed…off. If what his muse says is true, they are headed for an epic showdown, but he isn’t about to let her go. Nothing is more important than Faedrah’s protection, even if her parents refuse to accept him.

Though certain their fates are bound by more than the golden key Princess Faedrah wears around her neck, it is paramount Rhys’ true identity be kept secret. Should news of his bloodline ever reach her kingdom, their entire quest to save her people could be lost. Their only hope to prove his loyalty is to steal the map to the dark lord’s Crystal Crypt. Yet her a plan endangers her beloved more than the accusations he faces in her kingdom and, to escape evil’s grasp, she and Rhys must take a leap of faith beyond her wildest imagination.

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to HarperImpulse for my copy of this book via Netgalley. I read parts 1 and 2 of this series in 2015 but I have only just managed to read part 3. As it has been such a long time I probably should have re-read them as I was struggling to remember what happened in the other 2 books.

In this book, I really felt for Faedrah and Rhys. Faedrah cannot sleep without terrible nightmares. The poor girl goes days without sleep because every time she closes her eyes she is tortured. If I do not get enough sleep I am a real grump so I can only imagine how Faedrah felt. Especially when everyone was ignoring her.

Rhys also had to endure Faedrah's nightmares through their connection but not only that he was locked in a cell through the whole thing. He couldn't even help her! I fell in love with Rhys all over again in this book. He is defiant in his mission to protect her.

This was a great addition to the series and I will definitely be finishing the final book before the end of the year.
