Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy, Faerie, Tales of Faery
Rating: 5 out of 5 StarsBack Cover: Seth never expected he would want to settle down with anyone – but that was before Aislinn. She is everything he’d ever dreamed of, and he wants to be with her forever. Forever takes on new meaning, though, when your girlfriend is an immortal faery queen. Aislinn never expected to rule very creatures who’d always terrified her – but that was before Keenan. He stole her mortality to make her a monarch, and now she faces challenges and enticements beyond any she’d ever imagined.

This is the third book in the Wicked Lovely series. I have to say I love Melissa’s writings style. Like the other two books in her Tales of Faery, this just shows you a new side. We get to meet the fourth court, the one that actually is in Faerie. This Queen is not like any that we have seen. She is both strong and yet has a sweet side. Seth’’s decision to become a Faery wasn’t all that shocking. His love for Aislinn shows through time and again. I am interested where this is going as Keenan has just made a mess of everything with all those who at sometime loved him. I can’t wait to read more in, Darkest Mercy.

Back Cover: Unbeknownst to mortals, a power struggle is unfolding in a world of shadows and danger. After centuries of stability, the balance among the Faery Courts has altered, and Irial, ruler of the Dark Court, is battling to hold his rebellious and newly vulnerable fey together. If he fails, bloodshed and brutality will follow. Seventeen-year-old Leslie knows nothing of faeries or their intrigues. When she is attracted to an eerily beautiful tattoo of eyes and wings, all she knows is that she has to have it, convinced it is a tangible symbol of changes she desperately craves for her own life. The tattoo does bring changes—not the kind Leslie has dreamed of, but sinister, compelling changes that are more than symbolic. Those changes will bind Leslie and Irial together, drawing Leslie deeper and deeper into the faery world, unable to resist its allures, and helpless to withstand its perils. . . .

Unlike Wicked Lovely this centers around a new triad of characters. We again see Leslie, Aislinn’s Friend who struggles with her feelings for Niall. I love how the two struggled over their feeling for one another. This could be considered Urban fantasy, as it takes place in current times with the Fay all around. Melissa writes about a world of many Fay courts. I found this a very enjoyable story. Wondering what the Dark King was to do as his love for Leslie grew. My heart went out to Niall as he struggled. And then having to let go of the one he loved. It’s a must read for anyone who love reading about Faeries. I can't wait to read the next book in this series, Fragile Eternity.
