I read this book as an ARC- thanks to Random House for providing the opportunity.

I loved the first of Emily Wildes adventures, and I was pleased to love the sequel just as much. The author launches you straight into the adventure, and although I would have liked Emily to have dealt with what was surely outstanding trauma from her fae experience from the last book, the benefit to readers is that this book has the ability in many ways to standalone. Emily and Wendell are off to find the door to his realm, along with a few new characters and new types of fairie. Emily has clearly been softened some by the events of the 1st book and I liked seeing that although she is still very much awkward and pedantic, her feelings towards others has become a bit warmer. If you liked the 1st book you will be sure to enjoy this follow up and I’m already looking forward to the next stage of the groups adventure.
