Rating: 2.5/5 
 ***Minor spoilers + spoilers for book 1*** 
 Ethan Chase will never really escape the world of Faery. He's back home for not even a few days before he's pulled back into a whirlwind of Faerie drama. Also, after Kenzie and Ethan's escape to "New York," Kenzie's dad is threatening to have Ethan arrested. When Annwyl shows up literally in Ethan's bedroom, already Fading and wanting to find Kierran, he's determined to make his way to New Orleans, where he thinks he'll be able to find Kierran at the goblin market. Ethan and Kenzie have to fight against time to save Annwyl, and to somehow help their friends without worrying their parents too much. 
 I had high hopes for this book, and unfortunately I didn't feel that this book was all that good, which was a major disappointment considering how much I usually love Kagawa's Fey books and Fey world. I think my major issue was that the only character I liked in the book was Kenzie; I never liked Ethan and I never liked Kierran. I didn't even really like Annwyl, who was fading away from existence itself. I didn't have an issue liking the characters in The Iron Fey series, so I'm quite disappointed that I found them so unlikeable in this series. 
 Besides that I just didn't like him in general, I found Kierran to be extremely idiotic in this book. He kept making rash decisions in the name of love without consulting anyone, and without even asking Annwyl if she was okay with him making all these sacrifices for her. In fact, she continuously told him that she didn't want to be saved because the price would be too high, and SURPRISE, the price was too high and Annwyl probably won't be happy anyway. Also (view spoiler)[ at one point in the book he said he would never sell out family, but at the end of the book he is ready to KILL his uncle to save Annwyl and the Forgotten, and he actually killed him! Not that I didn't expect his backstabbing, but I hate him for it anyway. Also, I don't get why it's okay for him to do it at the end of the book but not when he was bargaining for the powder. Both scenarios involved killing Ethan (and Kenzie for one of them, but as heartless as Kierran is, I wouldn't expect him to care about one extra victim) but he was willing to kill Ethan to remove the veil but NOT to get some powder that could save Annwyl? I honestly don't understand him. He's just one big liar. (hide spoiler)] 
 Overall, I felt pretty let down by this book. I started disliking the characters more and more as I kept reading, except for Kenzie. I will probably end up reading the next book either way because I don't want to not finish the series now, and I can't stop reading after the cliffhanger at the end. Although I didn't enjoy this as much as I hoped, I'd still recommend that you read the Iron Fey series and this series as well.
