Love how #2 starts immediately after the events ending the first. And as much as I loved the first installment this one is even better. The characters are all back and the true nature of their backgrounds begin to emerge. 
 Syn discovers she's not witch but actually Light Fae and prepares for her Transition with the help - OMG - of studly Ryder - with pages upon pages of help [think Needing from the BDB and Cat's Transition in Night Huntress]. 
 Every time you think it's smooth sailing ahead for Syn & Ryder another obstacle pops up - and this one is HUGE in terms of new revelations to Syn's identity - threatening to destroy what she has with Ryder. But a series of events take place and again move things in a different direction but not exactly towards their HEA. Once again the author has written an amazing story with so many twists and turns to keep your interest so forget about day-to-day chores as you lose all track of time. 
 Fantastic writing, hilarious banter, OTT steamy and great great characters. Too bad there are only 4 books in the series - so reminds me of Night Huntress and the BDB - two of my absolute faves and the Fae Chronicles have now been added to this list. 
 *5 Stars*
