BOOK BLURB:
Have you ever heard of the old Celtic legends of the Fae - beautiful, magical, deadly and a love of messing with humans just for kicks and giggles?
Welcome to my world.
What started out as a strange assignment, leads to one of the most gruesome murder mysteries of our times and my friends and I are set and determined to find out who is killing off Fae and Witches alike.
Couple of problems in the way – I hate the Fae and the Prince of the Dark Fae is bound and determined that I work for him. He’s a rude, overbearing egotistical ass with a compulsive need to possess, dominate and control me. Oh – did I mention that he is absolutely sex-on-a-stick gorgeous and he makes me feel things that I never ever wanted to feel for a Fae…every time he touches me or looks at me with those golden eyes seems to pull me further in under his spell, despite my better judgment.
My friends and I can’t trust anyone and nothing is as it seems on the surface – not even me.

THE REHASH
- Syn is tasked to steal the Dark Prince (Ryder) crown. The Fae out themselves, by the way, to the humans. Syn is a Witch for the Guild. Her parents were brutally murdered by the Faes. So she hated Fae folks. The Guild took her in when she was a child. Trained her and other kids like her who lost their loved ones. They protect humankind from the Fae.
- Got caught by the DP, didn't try to fight them off because she was buying time for her friends to get away. Instead they are also caught by DP's underlings.
- Syn killed her ally (Chandra) because of the blood oath. They cannot tell who they are, who they work for. She'd have to kill traitors. She killed her using magic. Still wondering why she doesn't use it to escape? Hmm...
- DP started using 'torture', well their kind of torture. Extorting info with sex. At first Syn is like a mindless sex doll, then she suddenly remembered everything. Btw, they didn't have sex yet just the kissing. lol. She's woah, strong. She had that Demon and the DP in her clutches. She had linked DP's soul to hers.
- HUH. Apparently, this is all a fucking interview. Whut. They asked for the best, but wanted to see her in action. So they had it set up with the Guild's leader, Alden.
- She kind of resurrected Chandra's soul? and put it in her body so she could free it later, I think.
- Ryder was able to get passed her wards... I think it's because she linked his soul to hers and it kind of IDK, did something that enable Ryder to get inside her room regardless of the wards she put up.
- Huh, so Ryder have been kind of stalking her. He was sent to protect her. So is this just some kind of ploy? Who is Marie? She's the one who asked Ryder to have Syn protected...
- Holy shit that some childhood fucking nightmare.
- That fucking drama will be the end of me.
- The crime scene is sooooo damn good. The MO is this for both Fae and Witches, they skinned them, took their organs, and then planted a bomb that will only explode if one use the "second sight" as per Syn. I think it's a witch thing. And of course the bombs exploded because Syn used it. First one she had a barrier before it explode. Second one was she didn't cause she was not fast enough. Third, she got the theory about the second sight so she was well prepared for the third blast.
- Holy shit. So Adrian is well and fucking alive or er... Undead. He killed Belinda to get to Syn. Wtf.
- so they finally had sex. They did the wild hunt thing where they marked their females and then chase them after going into the faery world. Long story short they had sex. And then they didn't finish the 24hrs because something happened. The Guild apparently attacked the club.
- Then they came back to the club, Ryder was pissed and telling Syn it's their fault blah blah blah. He tied her up with iron on her neck, put her in his room.
- Ryder went to her to see she cannot breathe. She blacked out. Felt dying. So then the guys and Ryder was discussing her. Apparently, she's Fae. There's a red tattoo on her. It was a protection spell of sort. Making her look like human?
- Ryder is still pissed and keeps asking who is the tattoo guy and why was she pretending of sorts to be human when she's in fact a Fae too.
- Syn doesn't know. Doesn't have any idea. She still saying she's Human.
- Ristan, the Demon helped her escape. Gave her that demon kiss for a power boost. Helped her friends escape. He also said to look at Arianna, the Light Fae Heir. Personally, I think there's something up with her too. If Syn is a Light Fae, I think she's the Light Heir. It kinda fits. On why her parents were murdered by Faes. Why she had that tattoo. Why she didn't know.
- Adrian is also helping Syn, Adam and Larissa.
- Holy shit. Adam too!! A fae! And I think he's her familiar.
- Syn almost exploded after that flash mob when she saw Dristan making Adam FIZ. Well, she did explode. It's why they now knew for sure she's a fucking Fae. And Adam too.
- Arianna is like a Zombie or Frankenstein. Or we'll, dead puppet. Someone else is in play.
- Alden, is her mom's bro. Okay, so she's really not her parent's daughter. They couldn't get pregnant. Alden knew that she's different. His sister made him promise to raise Syn as a witch if something happened to them.
- Joseph the puppeteer skinned Larissa alive. Killed her took her heart out. Syn is helpless. Magic was restricted using that black stick thingy.
- Her mind broke.
- Adam, Ryder and Alden tried to coerce her from her mindless stupor. Ryder succeeded. Syn is back.
- Syn decided to go back to her parents house with Adam. So, being Fae, Adam decided to sign a contract with Ryder. Syn got mad. Then Ryder cannot step inside the house because of the protective spell for Dark Fae. Like Unseelie dark. Syn and Alden was speculating that maybe her parents were protecting her from Ryder. But I think that's not kind of true? Cause when they saw her memories, Ryder and the 13 guys were like it's not someone they know...
- Anyway, so what happened next was that Adam attacked Syn. He's not in his right mind because he's turning/Transitioning. She was almost raped. She called Ryder but Z answered and Dristan (was it?) came and rescue her. Told her Adam is turning and so is she. Well about to. Told her Ryder would want her beside him if that happens.
- and oh, Ryder branded her. Some kind of marking on her hips? Why was it late to manifest? In any case, she went to Ryder's house...
- She saw people from the guild get tortured... There's a man in the hood. She made noise when she was backing away from the scene. And the man saw her.
- THAT'S IT. YES. IT WAS A FUCKING CLIFFHANGER.
