After being betrayed by Warwick, Brexley is now in the hands of the Fae King. 

Brexley changed hands so many times in this book that it became a bit difficult to follow at times. Who was she being held by now? What do they want from her? 

Warwick continues to save her after trading her from something. Though we don't really know what he traded her for, we get a glimpse
when Brexley calls for his help and he is with a woman and young boy. She assumes it is his family, yet we do not know.
 

We find out that
the humans are manufacturing a drug to make humans into super soldiers. It works for a while, but after a few days the drug literally melts their brain. This happened to every test subject, except Brexley. So that makes us wonder, why is she so different from the other humans?


At points of this book we get some major info dumps. At one point she
is taken to the resistance by Warwick and finds out her "uncle" is alive and the head of the resistance. We find out that he was secretly in love with a fae and faked his own death to protect everyone. He figured out that the fae weren't the bad guys in this situation and he started the resistance against the humans. We also find out that Link, is actually Ling, his partner.


Later on, we find out that
her father's brother, who is a a fugitive, is the leader of another resistance group and is working with the blue haired deamon she met in prison.


I found the plot line with Ash and the book to be really interesting.
She somehow reached back in time through the book and saved not only Warwick, but Scorpion too.
Here we learn a bit more about their connection. But we are still left with so many unanswered questions. 

Brexley makes a lot of really dumb decisions. As a highly trained soldier, she should be able to protect herself, yet, she always needs Warwick to come and save her.
