Traumatized by her capitivity Under the Mountain, Feyre begs for help. Rhysland and his court are ready to comply.

This book is full of action, adventure, romance and magic. I loved it. The first of the series was just ok but when a colleague urged me to read the second, I complied and I am glad I did. I immediately ckecked out the last two because I can't wait to see how the series ends. I did have one concern, and that was that it is labeled a teen book but it is definitely rated R with some very descriptive "romantic" scenes that make me question whether it is should be a teen book. That being said, I can't wait to see what the fate is of all the Courts, Feyre, Rhysland and the rest of the cast of characters.
