[EBookObsessed]

Prince Dayn was the hunter of the family who protected Elden from dangerous creatures, including any wolfyn who became trapped in the Kingdom realm. The Queen’s protection spell sends Dayn into the realm of the wolfyn to wait. Before he dies, his father, the King, tells him through mindspeak that Dayn will stay where he is until a guide is sent for him and then he has 4 days to get to his siblings in Elden to storm the castle or all will be lost.

Reda Weston was a police officer who’s partner was killed during a robbery. She blames herself for his death because she froze in panic instead of creating a distraction that could have saved his life. Reda is searching for a book which her mother had given to her as a child, a dark version of Little Red Riding Hood. Once she locates this book, it is a catalyst and opens a vortex which takes her to the wolfyn realm.

Dayn realizes immediately that she is the guide his father spoke about and which he has been waiting 20 years to bring him home. He convinces Reda to go with him to find the next vortex portal so he can get to his siblings and kill the blood sorcerer.

The story of Dayn and Reda moves quickly through the beginning of the book, then we hit a snag when both characters realize they haven’t learned anything and are repeating past mistakes, now with each other. Things get a little awkward between them. Then things really awkward between them when Reda finds out Dayn is hiding more than just the fact that he’s a prince and a vampire. Reda tries to flee back home, but gets trapped in the vortex and a disembodied voice convinces her she needs to help Dayn get to his siblings and then she can return home. The story improves from there after Dayn and Reda move past their issues and work together.
