Obviously I didn't know what I was getting into when I picked up this book. As a part of Barnes & Noble's free ebook offer I picked this one because it looked different and I was really surprised that I enjoyed it. I'm the first to say that I'm not into the supernatural/fantasy genre. The most I've ever read is Lord of The Rings or The Hobbit. But, this book kept me interested because it's a very dark, adult book. This is not for Twilight fans, this to me, almost felt like it had the potential for an r-rated movie. This book kind of lost me a couple of times though. One example is Merry's job as a detective: first it was about a detective agency and then it was obviously not about a detective agency, and then it brought the element back in glancing in the last few pages.

Another element that didn't weird me out like I thought it would was all of the references and scenes that were sexual in nature. I didn't feel like I was reading someone's attempt at writing soft-core porn or anything to that extent. The scenes were well placed and as she described how the Faerie courts worked the sex scenes were almost necessary.

So overall, I really enjoyed the book and will be continuing the series.

It's more of a 2.5, but I can't bring myself to give it 3 stars. Listen, I love trashy books. I love paranormal romance stories with cringe sex scenes and ridiculous love triangles. So I'm definitely not saying I'm above this book, I'm not. But this book is badly written. Lazily written. And this isn't the first Laurell K. Hamilton book I've read, but it is the worst.

Don't get me wrong, I'm going to read the series. Because while this book was bad, it was also good. Like...McDonald's.

Also why does every fae dude in this book make me think of final fantasy characters? And why does everything seem so...80s?

Ok, ok, ok, lastly...this book gives serious kink blue balls. We all know Laurell K. Hamilton writes smut, and she teased us with tentacles and creepy, dual-dicked goblins and didn't deliver. Bullshit, I say!
