In this third installment of the Laurel books by Aprilynne Pike, we find our heroine with a dilemma of the heart. After surviving a massive altercation with her enemies at the end of the last novel, Laurel finds herself once again at home in the human world but torn between her human boyfriend David, and her Faerie protector Tamani. Mix in a mysterious new faerie and hunter duo and the threat of attack at any moment, Laurel is a mass of conflicting emotions and faced with many difficult decisions.

There are many faerie books out on the market these days, but to my knowledge only this series has described faeries as a sentient form of plant life! Filled with science experiments, teenage angst, and a little mayhem, this series is a lot of fun for those who enjoy similar stories by Melissa Marr and Lesley Livingston.
