Ember has a little problem…fairies want her dead.
Ember spends her Friday nights lurking in the bad parts of town, killing fairies. It’s either that, or become a victim to their flesh-eating hunger.
Then she meets Remy, a fae who, despite getting on her nerves, isn’t evil. He tells her that a shadow has been consuming his world, changing its inhabitants and letting destructive beasts into his city. He is searching for his brother who went missing during the catastrophe.
When a team of mercenaries come for Ember, she has little choice but to join Remy in his quest. Together, they decide to bait a trap. What they find reveals the destruction of the fae world means the end of the human world, too–and it’s Ember’s fault.

My Review
The blurb gives you a pretty good idea what you’re in for as far as the plot in this book. So, I’m going to share with you how it made me feel.
To begin, you meet Ember while she’s doing what she does best, killing Fae. She’s tough and smart. I like that about her. But talk about being an extreme adrenaline junkie. These Fae are bad to the bone and they’ve got wind of Ember. Not so easy to sneak up on them now, and they even begin to set traps for her.
When Remy entered the picture I feared it would become all about romance. Nope. More action, some snappy back and forth dialogue, and plenty of sarcasm. Gotta love that!
This is my first book by Rainy Kaye. Been wanting to try her books, but you know how that goes. So many books, so little…. I finally got to read one and sure got my money’s worth. Plenty of action, strong writing with no frills, and characters that are believable and likable. I’m huge on character driven stories, and these came to life for me.
For all of you fantasy/urban fantasy lovers, grab this one! It’s a kick ass read from beginning to fiery finish!

Sounds like a good one! 🙂
It was fun and my first read by this author. I have another book by her and plan to get on it soon:)
Glad to hear that a romance didn’t detract from the story
Me too! I like my romance to be teasing, not consume the story:)
Ah, I like that it doesn’t suddenly turn to ‘all about romance’ when he entered the picture. Sounds like an exciting book.
Ye. Too many times the romance takes over. Not in this one. It just compliments it some.
I can always use a little magic in my life. Glad you enjoyed this one.
