Title: SHADOWSPELL
Author: Jenna Black
Other books by author: GLIMMERGLASS
Release Date: January 2011
Rating: 4.5/5--Really good! Worth your time!
One Word Summary: Faeries
Good if...you want something action packed and surprisingly great for a second of the series novel
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 thoughts:  I only rated GLIMMERGLASS (the 1st book in this series) a 3/5. It wasn't that it was bad, it just didn't have the best of endings. But since I read GLIMMERGLASS I haven't been able to forget it. Lots of times I'll read a book and like it but by the time the next book in that series comes around I've already completely forgotten the first and don't care so much anymore. Not with this one.

And I'm very happy to say that this book was really good!!! How often does that happen with middle of the series books. Hardly ever. So I highly recommend that you check out GLIMMERGLASS if you haven't and get started right away on this series!

And also...SIRENSONG (the 3rd of this series) is due out JULY 2011!
