My Review
5 stars
Jess Morgan has a rough life. Her twin sister died which lead to her parents breaking up and her mother, April never really getting over it. April become an alcoholic and has left Jess to basically fend for herself. But Jess learns that there is more to her world than she knew.
Caleb Farmer works for his father’s failing hardware story yet dreams of being an art student. His father destroys Caleb’s art book with leads Caleb to meeting Ivy Stark, a woman that promised her future for fairy inspiration/torture.
Then there is Ninka, a hudskin. She has been charged with raising the latest mortal child. This is the most recent of Catelysm’s play things. But Ninka is about to make a decision that is going to change her world and everything around her.
The three stories wrap around and around until they finally come together with a crash that will throw you off but leave you wanting more. This story is not about Tinkerbell. This story has dark and evil fae that kidnap mortals to torture them to death for the fun of it. Jess has a secret that links her with Faery. But is she strong enough to conquer her foes and rise to her role.
I loved this story. Dark, evil fae, a young girl trying to find her place in this world and learning she doesn’t belong here. I loved how the three stories rotate between each other and then come together. This is a great story and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series, I hope this will be a series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.
I would like to thank Rachel’s Random Resources for the opportunity to read and share this book.
