Summary: (courtesy of http://jennablack.com/books_ya.htm)
On top of spending most of her time in a bunkerlike safe house and having her dates hijacked by a formidable Fae bodyguard, Faeriewalker Dana Hathaway is in for some more bad news: the Erlking and his pack of murderous minions known as the Wild Hunt have descended upon Avalon. With his homicidal appetite and immortal powers, the Erlking has long been the nightmare of the Fae realm. A fragile treaty with the Faerie Queen, sealed with a mysterious spell, is the one thing that keeps him from hunting unchecked in Avalon, the only place on Earth where humans and Fae live together. Which means Dana’s in trouble, since it’s common knowledge that the Faerie Queen wants her – and her rare Faeriewalker powers – dead. The smoldering, sexy Erlking’s got his sights set on Dana, but does he only seek to kill her, or does he have something much darker in mind?
My Rating: 8 out of a possible 10
Explanation: I want to start by saying normally I shy away from books about faeries and fae, etc etc, but Glimmerglass was suggested by one of my favorite librarians, and I enjoyed it.
Shadowspell was better than Glimmerglass [the first novel in the series]. However, there are some adult parts and lots of reference to sex and lust and some 'heavy petting'. It's not a graphic sexual novel, but I wouldn't read it if I was under 16 definitely.
Warnings aside, the plot held my attention and made me love the characters even more, especially my boy Keane [who was my major crush in the first novel]. There's a lot of secrets introduced and revealed, and a fair amount of action.
Definitely read this if you've read the first one. Also, not a long wait for the third one! [sirensong, out July]
