The Plot: We follow Sonny and Kelley through alternating points of view as they each embark on separate journeys. There are times when I want to scream at her and her decisions, but it’s all a part of the growing-up-thing. All the while trying to maintain a part in her theatre troupe.

Not so much that’s she’s a faerie princess, but that she’s a teen living in New York City, dealing with the hardships of love, and wondering why she has to be the one to fix everything. Maddox really seems to be the glue that holds these characters together. (He warns Sonny against loving fae, when he loves a one, too). And he also throws in some do-as-I-say-not-as-I-dos. He’s like the parent of the Janus Guards. Maddox has a small part, but I think he’s a riot. Most intriguing: Sonny’s got some secrets hidden up his sleeve. But your typical male didn’t get raised under the thumb of King Auberon in the Otherworld, trained to be a warrior since he would walk. His warrior exterior, his completing love for Kelley, etc. Like an onion, he has many layers that create him. The Characters: Sonny Flannery is my favorite character in the Wondrous Strange series. There are pros and cons, but I do like this cover. But my only problem is that the cover of every novel in the trilogy is similar. Why? Well, I do love the fact that when they featured “Kelley” on the cover, they gave her an air of mysticality (I don’t think that’s a word). The Cover: I think, overall, I would give this cover a B+. And she’s got to do it all without getting dangerously distracted by the Fennrys Wolf, whose legendary heart of stone seems to melt whenever he’s around Kelley. She’s got to help rebuild the shattered theater company she called family. She’s got to uncover who’s recruiting Janus Guards to murderously hunt innocent Faerie. To get Sonny back, she’s got to find out who’s after his magick-and how to use her own. Devastated, Sonny retreats-to a haven for Lost Fae that’s hidden deep underneath New York City.īut Kelley’s not about to let things end in heartbreak. That’s the lie Kelley Winslow told to protect the boy she loves from a power he doesn’t know he possesses.

(Rarely, I will stop reading a series if it’s not good.) Why I chose this book: I read the first two books in this series, and thus had to finish the trilogy.

Stand Alone or Series: Series–this is the final book in the series.
