On top of spending most of her time in a bunker-like safe house and having her dates hijacked by a formidable Fae bodyguard, Faeriewalker Dana Hathaway is in for some more bad news: the devastatingly handsome Erlking and his followers known as the Wild Hunt have descended upon Avalon. With his homicidal appetite, immortal powers, and striking good looks the Erlking has been long been the nightmare of Faerie, the Fae realm. A fragile treaty, sealed with a mysterious spell, is the only thing that keeps him from hunting unchecked in Avalon, the only place on Earth where humans and Fae live together. He can only hunt there with a Faerie Queen's permission. Which means Dana's in trouble, since it's common knowledge that the Faerie Queens want her, and her rare Faeriewalker powers, dead. The smouldering and sexy Erlking's got his sights set on Dana, but does he seek to kill her, or is there something else he has in mind?
Love this book! I liked Glimmerglass, and I was eagerly waiting for book #2. Many unexpected twists and turns in this one, and it was action packed. I like that Dana is a strong female character, her upbringing and the fact that she had to be responsible at at very young age makes her strong minded and able to make her own decisions (even if she doesn't make the right ones all the time, after all she is only 16!) The dinamics of her family and the way the handle pressure and the threat on Dana's life is interesting. I am still debating if I am in team Ethan, Keane and now the there is a new fairy in play here (they are all fairy and therefore all movie star handsome). We also learned more about Dana's powers, even if she is not able to understand or control them. I will definetly pick up book #3, due out this July.
