The plot is, unfortunately, quite predictable and the love triangle seems forced. Moreover, his big secret undermines his potential as hero material. Dorian is more likable and less smarmy than V’lane but he is lacking a true Alpha male personality, and Kiyo while gorgeous in his own right is definitely NOT Barrons.

Eugenie is not nearly as irritating as Mac and her humor is snarky without being grating. The Otherworld politics and creatures are well developed, the action scenes are exciting and the characters are reminiscent of Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. To be honest, I’m on the fence about this book.

Soon every ambitious fae is set on “having” Eugenie and she will need all the help she can get to fight them off. After taking on a new case, Eugenie learns that she is the object of a dark prophecy foretelling the birth of a child who will bring about the end of the world as we know it. … ( more)Įugenie Markham is a Shaman with a reputation for ridding unsuspecting humans of nasties from the Otherworld. but with enemies growing bolder and time running out, Eugenie realizes that the greatest danger is yet to come, and it lies in the dark powers that are stirring to life within her. She finds them in Dorian, a seductive fairy king with a taste for bondage, and Kiyo, a gorgeous shape-shifter who redefines animal attraction. Eugenie handles a Glock as smoothly as she wields a wand, but she needs some formidable allies for a job like this. Now Eugenie is a hot target for every ambitious demon and Otherworldy ne'er-do-well, and the ones who don't want to knock her up want her dead. Hired to find a teenager who has been taken to the Otherworld, Eugenie comes face to face with a startling prophecy - one that uncovers dark secrets about her past and claims that Eugenie's first-born will threaten the future of the world as she knows it. Her most recent case, however, is enough to ruin her appetite. Eugenie Markham is a powerful shaman who does a brisk trade banishing spirits and fey who cross into the mortal world. No love life to speak of for months, then all at once, every horny creature in the Otherworld wants to get in your pants.
