Helpful Score: 2

This book was pretty good, not exceptional and not horrible, just okay. It was more dark and twisted than I expected, but that wasn't the problem. The problem was that it felt like the author was trying really hard to be shocking and edgy and it just fell flat for me. I didn't feel like a lot of the "darkness", at least not in the begining of the book, helped further things along. As we get into the land of the Seelie and Unseelie courts, that's when it started to make more sense in regards to the story and that's when I began to like the book. The first half of the book was slow and sort of choppy; it didn't flow very well and felt like things were just sort of thrown together haphazardly because a lot of the "shocking" things the author had happen came out of nowhere and disappeared just as quickly. It was like she was trying to fit so much in the first half of the book that it was just too random to fit all together. However, don't let this scare you off. I believe the last half of the book more than makes up for this fact. I really loved little underlying romance going on, as well as the look we get into the Seelie and Unseelie courts. Because the last half of the book was so redeeming, I'm eagerly looking forward to reading the next book dealing with Kaye and her adventures.
