Walker Children's


Alyxandra Harvey enters the world of faery in another irresistible dark romance.

When a cute guy dressed like a Victorian pirate kneels in front of Eloise the day after her seventeenth birthday, she knows that something strange is going on-and that's before he vows to be her champion and mentions her flaky aunt, Antonia, who's gone incommunicado once again.

But this appearance isn't a coincidence, and when Eloise is attacked and pushed into an alternate world called Fae, she becomes embroiled in the underground politics of the Seelie and Unseelie courts. Her captor,Lord Strahan, the ruler of Faery is desperately clinging to his throne and will do anything to keep it. The only one who can break his power is his wife, Eloise's aunt Antonia-and Eloise has become his bargaining chip.

Now Eloise must find a way to save her aunt from Lord Strahan, and she'll need the help of her best friends Jo and Devin, along with the other Fae captives of Strahan's hall. With a whole world of Faeries out to get her, Eloise must stop Strahan both worlds are thrust into complete chaos.

Haunting Violet was amazing and I cannot wait to read this one! Her books away from vampires are great and I hope there will be more books from these new books!

I would love to see what you have to say :)

“Reading is everything. Reading makes me feel like I've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. Reading makes me smarter. Reading gives me something to talk about later on. Reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. Reading is grist. Reading is bliss.”
