After reading The Iron King by Julie Kagawa, you really have to be open to a new take on faeries from a different authors viewpoint. This takes a lot of what you thought you knew about them and changes it. The book was dynamically written. You really relate with Kelley, she is a great character. All types of faerie lore is brought in and thrown into the story. One downfall, it was kind of short both in length of the book and in timeline that everything happened. But I did love all the off shoot stories that it had. A must read for lovers of faerie tales! 4 1/2 out of 5 stars!

Lesley Livingston's first installment in the series really captured my attention. Granted, the plot wasn't overly complicated and was a bit predictable, I enjoyed it nonetheless. Kelley, a young actress living in New York City, gets her big break when the actress playing Titania gets injured and can't do on. Once Kelley steps into the role of Titania, the parallels between her own life and the characters in the play start to develop. She meets Sonny, a changeling stolen from the cradle and raised in the realm of the fae. Together, they embark on a quest to find Kelley's true identity and save the human realm from the Wild Hunt. Livingston's story is well-written and highly entertaining. It is a great first installment and definitely has me interested in the next book, Darklight.

This was terrific. I really liked Sonny and Kelley - what a wonderful pair. Kelley and Sonny must fight both the Queen and King of the Faeries in order to protect the mortals from the Wild Hunt. A truly unique take on this fairy tale. Can't wait to see where book two takes Sonny and Kelley.
