Rhapsodic was a fairly spicy Romantsy story. It was scary but threaded with sexual assault.  The age difference between the characters was problematic for me.  It wasn't just that there was one, but the age and circumstances of their first meeting  gave me the ick.  The mystery of the children and catatonic fae was scary, but I wasn't satisfied with the resolution.  Perhaps the payoff is further down the series, but I won't get there.  I don't like sexual victimization as a plot point, and it was really the only thing moving the story forward.
