“Evil is a completely different creature, Mac. Evil is bad that believes it’s good.”

MacKayla Lane was just a child when she and her sister, Alina, were given up for adoption and banished from Ireland forever.

Twenty years later, Alina is dead and Mac has returned to the country that expelled them to hunt her sister’s murderer. But after discovering that she descends from a bloodline both gifted and cursed, Mac is plunged into a secret history: an ancient conflict between humans and immortals who have lived concealed among us for thousands of years.

What follows is a shocking chain of events with devastating consequences, and now Mac struggles to cope with grief while continuing her mission to acquire and control the Sinsar Dubh—a book of dark, forbidden magic scribed by the mythical Unseelie King, containing the power to create and destroy worlds.

In an epic battle between humans and Fae, the hunter becomes the hunted when the Sinsar Dubh turns on Mac and begins mowing a deadly path through those she loves.
Who can she turn to? Who can she trust? Who is the woman haunting her dreams? More important, who is Mac herself and what is the destiny she glimpses in the black and crimson designs of an ancient tarot card?

From the luxury of the Lord Master’s penthouse to the sordid depths of an Unseelie nightclub, from the erotic bed of her lover to the terrifying bed of the Unseelie King, Mac’s journey will force her to face the truth of her exile, and to make a choice that will either save the world . . . or destroy it.

Wow, again, WOW!!  I will be using my spoiler box cause there are some things I just have to spill about.

Mac is on a mission to capture the Sinsar Dubh and create a new world.  To do it she must convince her enemy, Darrok, aka The Lord Master that she wants to hook up with him so they can rule together.  Will it work?  Will he buy her baloney?  Is she strong enough to get close to who killed her sister?  Who did Mac kill, was it JB was it Christian?  Who is Dreamy Eyed Guy?  Will she finally cave for V’lane?  One has to read to find out.

This book just had me busted up.  My heart was hurting more times than I can count.  Tears would come to my eyes. I love JB I love Mac, Lordy I love Christian “Doona by duhing me missy!” MacKeltar, I love Dani.  We even get a very small peak at those lovely Highlanders, my fave being Cian.  *Sniffle* That this was the end was sad.  I really loved this series, it is just fantastic.  The characters are so rich and vibrant you can’t help but love the good guys and just hate the baddies.  A great end to a wonderful tale.

Holy crap my heart just ceased as Mac was over JB’s body trying to give him her blood, put his innards back in and just go into emotional meltdown.  Then when she was grabbed after Darroc bit it and in the bookstore I was in tears as she saw it was truly him!  How he loves her and just was so darn stubborn. So typical alpha male, yet so very irresistible, he will always protect her and love her to death.

Man oh man!! Poor Christian starting to turn fae, but my oh my how freakin hot was he?!  I really loved his character.

I always hated Rowena, and this just cemented the whole damn deal for me and poor Dani, I never saw that coming and it was like a punch in the stomach!

I kept saying she can’t be the freakin King no damn way what the heck is going on, but I never gave much thought as to who Dreamy Eye Guy was!
V’LANE!!!; WTF!!! I wanted to scream, the hottest fae next to Adam and this is how it goes, oh no!!!!!

Get the book, if you haven’t read the series start.
