Back Cover: Hunger for nourishment. Hunger for touch. Hunger to belong. Half-human and half-faery, Ani is driven by her hungers. Those same appetites also attract powerful enemies and uncertain allies, including Devlin. He was created as an assassin and is brother to the faeries' coolly logical High Queen and to her chaotic twin, the embodiment of War. Devlin wants to keep Ani safe from his sisters, knowing that if he fails, he will be the instrument of Ani's death. Ani isn't one to be guarded while others fight battles for her, though. She has the courage to protect herself and the ability to alter Devlin's plans—and his life. The two are drawn together, each with reason to fear the other and to fear for one another. But as they grow closer, a larger threat imperils the whole of Faerie. Will saving the faery realm mean losing each other?

This is the fourth book in the Wicked Lovely series. Ani is much more than she seems and very few people know. Devlin was sent to kill her years ago but had made a promise not to. Now the two are going to have to make some drastic decisions. As they work together things that they thought get turned on their head. And if they don’t hurry Faerie will be no more. Of all the books so far I have to say this is my favorite. I loved Ani she is such a great character. When we see in this book you find so much more depth. Devlin who you’re not at all sure what he is up to keeps you on your toes the whole way through the story. This is a brilliant story and I can’t wait to read the next one in the series, Darkest Mercy.
