Ilustration Concering Books Shadowspell (Faeriewalker #2)
On top of spending most of her time in a bunker-like 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 have 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?Rating Of Books Shadowspell (Faeriewalker #2)

I will admit that I skimmed through some of this book, something I rarely do. I just got tired of the same old plot as a lot of other fairy type books I guess, or maybe I wasn't in the mood to get into it. My main issue with this series is that I don't like Ethan, and so far he's the main love interest. I also thought that Dana did a lot of really spectacularly stupid things. Not sure if I'll bother reading the next one.I am annoyed and really disappointed. Certain things happened in the plot that made me MAD like (view spoiler)[Ethan being a douche half the times and saying he can't help but notice other sexy girls to Dana. And Dana making a deal with The Erkling to give him her virginity and exchange for Ethan who is not worth it (and also Connor). And if she does he will strip all her powers and she will be a shell of herself. So now her and Ethan are going to try to be together without having sex ever. And
I don't know if it's hindsight being 20/20, but I'm pretty sure I was never that stupid when I was a teenager. Sure, I was never a fairywalker as a teenager, but I like to think that if I were, I wouldn't have done anything so outrageously stupid as to make a deal with an immortal being involving giving up my virginity. I have an ancient fae father who can't possibly know what I'm going through. I mean, sure, he lost a son to the Erlking, but I LOST THE GUY I'M CRUSHING ON. WAH!And then
I was unpleasantly surprised with this book. Dana is still in the exact same place, doing the exact same things, with the same people as she was in the first book. There is the small edition of the Erlking which brings in the plot for this installment but the air of excitement was minimal. I appreciate the idea of the Erlking and the danger he presents as an antagonist but, for me, it just didn't flow as smoothly as I would've liked and it certainly wasn't as believable. For example, lets ponder
The twist in this book was amazing! Lose your virginity to the scourge of the fey or lose you boyfriend to the wild hunt. Discover that your half brother you didn't know about is part of that hunt and that he is the Erlking's last bargaining chip to ensure you deliver on your promise. Oh and be told by your homicidal aunt while a guy is trying to rape you that if you DO give your virginity away that he will have the power to go into the human world and kill millions of humans and leave you a
Hmm, I liked Glimmerglass better than this...I don't have a lot to say about this one. The Erlking is admittedly interesting (manipulative!) and attractive (<3) and adds a layer to book 2, but otherwise, I felt like not a lot happened. Dana is a little all over the place, and even with her hormones out of whack, she's too wishy washy. Writing this having read all three, I'm glad I persevered to the third book, Sirensong, as the story improved there.
I have a love-hate relationship with Jenna Black's books. I've read the entirety of her Morgan Kingsley series and I was left feeling frustrated and angry. I chose to give her a second chance though, and I started reading this teen series of hers. I ... actually like it. If you look at the reviews you'll see the evidence of this love-hate relationship that Black garners, but at least in this case, I don't hate this series. In fact, I'm enjoying it.Dana is dealing with the aftermath of her
