Customer Reviews

Very Entertaining!

I'm not a big romance reader, but I have to admit I found this book entertaining. From the prologue where Marina feels betrayed by Raf to Raf discovering what is most important to him and trusting Marina. Of course it's a love story so there are a few gratuitous scenes in the book that could be done without but all in all a good afternoon read. So curl up with a cup of tea or wine and prepare to escape.

Very happy with this buy

I've been reading the Nocturne books for a while now and this one was hard to find. Very happy with this purchase.

exhilarating romantic fantasy

Half-elf, half-witch Marina Adal does not want to return to her home realm Alfheim because she knows her uncle will take away her freedom and besides in Gunngar everyone hates her including Amma the witch she freed from a needle trap who now resides trapped inside her. She assumes even her former lover loathes her though she believes he betrayed her. Thus the Fairy princess works as a chambermaid while concealing her background. However her former lover Raf Dolg the hellhound arrives to take her back to her uncle. The Svartalfar dark elves also want to capture the princess. In Alfheim, Raf tries to keep her safe, uncover who wants her dead and why, and who murdered his family. This is an exhilarating romantic fantasy that grips the audience from the opening scene when Raf arrives to collect his bounty on the treacherous elf who he believes deceived him. The cast is solid and intrigue re the throne is superb especially with a terrific ironic twist. Lori Devoti provides a strong "fairy" tale in which love may not be enough to even keep the hellhound and the elf alive. Harriet Klausner
