Very much the middle book of a trilogy. While the story was decent, it was not as good as the first book, but it left me dying to start the third book. It seemed like there was too many loose ends and too much foreshadowing.

When we last saw the Fyne sisters, witches all, in The Sun Witch (2004), Sophie was on the run with her husband, Kane, their baby daughter, and Kane's rebel troops. This book opens with imperial troops capturing Juliet and Isadora. Isadora uses her magic to kill the soldier closest to her to instill fear in her captors. Juliet is captured by Ryn, an Anwyn, who becomes a wolf at night and claims her as his life mate. More than that, she is part of an Anwyn prophecy, and she doesn't like it. Worst still, she is falling for her brave wolf-man, which is not a good thing, because the Fyne sisters are under a curse that kills the man they love before his thirtieth birthday. Isadora is imprisoned in the emperor's castle, her fate resting in the hands of the capricious and often sadistic queen. Like its predecessor, this is a cliff-hanger. Will Isadora use her magic for the forces of darkness? Will 29-year-old Kane survive his next birthday? Will Juliet accept her destiny? Will the evil emperor triumph?

The perfect choice when you want a lighthearted and fun yet sensual romance...with all the magic of a fairy tale.

Second book in the series. Well written but not as captivating (for me) as the Sun Witch or the Star Witch. Out of the three this was my least favorite, but it was still a great read despite its flaws.

This second book of Jones trilogy was enjoyable and I was pleased with the development of the story, although at times it was tedious and repetitious. Jones knows how to weave a story and create characters that are entertaining to her readers, but honestly this book was more filler than anything else. She could have taken the most important parts of the story, dropped the repetition--how many times do we have to be told that Ryn was beautiful, muscled, and quick?--and made the Fyne sister's stories into a sequel instead of a trilogy--oh wait--that wouldn't sell as many books, would it? This one is worth a read, even if only for the sex scenes.
