The picturesque town of North Falls is as beautiful
as it is deadly.
When Nadia is called to help deliver a human woman's
little elven babies, she knows she can't say no. After all, she's masquerading
as a fertility witch since blood witches were hunted out of existence several
generations ago.
But North Falls isn't like any other sanctuary city
Nadia has been to and the differences are enough to make her blood boil.
Haven is run by decent monsters, but a corrupt
council with an agenda of their own leads North Falls. The ward around their
town is failing and they aren't above compelling the witch to their bidding.
Everything will have to fall into place for her to
survive the trip. Unfortunately for Nadia, her luck has never been all that
great. Add in a rogue alpha wolf, a council-appointed vampire guard who would
be more accurately described as a spy, and a couple of demons from her past and
it looks like she might just have a fighting chance.
Well, until the council ups the ante that is. Will
her newfound protectors be enough to keep her alive? Or will they run when they
learn her secrets?
I was so looking forward to this one but it wasn’t
as good as the first two. I missed all the original characters and felt there
was a pacing issue. There were times it moved but other times I was frustrated
with no movement at all. Overall, it was fine and a nice way to round out the
series.
