Much has changed since autumn, when Kelley Winslow learned she was Faerie royalty, fell in love with changeling guard Sonny Flannery, and saved New York City from a rampaging Faerie war band. When a terrifying encounter in Central Park sends Kelley tumbling into the Otherworld, her reunion with Sonny is joyful—but cut short. For they’ve been plunged into a game of Faerie deception and wavering allegiances in which the next move could topple a kingdom…or part them forever.
Three words; Sonny is MINE! or impressive, exciting &captivating
I was even more impressed with Darklight than it’s predecessor Wondrous Strange. Livingston was able to weave an unpredictable and entertaining plot, with all the characters that I had grown to love in Wondrous Strange. Not to mention characters that were re-introduced like… Fennrys. Where did this delicious dish come from! I’ll have seconds please!
I loved the elements of the Otherworld, Livingston has a beautiful writing style that makes you feel like you are there with the character, just awesomely captivating descriptions without being overly detailed.
This is definitely a series that you will want to read in order. There are a lot of references to the previous novel and there are some character histories that wouldn’t be clear had you not read the first novel. As with most novels in the middle of a series there are some questions left unanswered but there are some huge revelations as well.
I love Livingston’s story telling ability. There is something in the way that she tells a story that is addicting. Awesome fae series. I can’t wait to read the next novel!

This is so weird. I was just at Borders and looked at this exact book, thinking "hmmmm, I haven't seen this on any blogs before…"
I wish I'd looked at it more carefully now! It looks really good.

I've got this book in my TBR pile – but I'm thinking I should take a break from reading 'City of Glass' & read this one real quick.

Yeah, I was sent this for review (unrequested surprise) and hadn't read the first book. So I ended up just reading this one. And I do feel like I missed out on a lot although it was still a good, enjoyable story. But I think I would have gotten more out of it if I read Wondrous Strange first…. which I now have to go back and read.

I can't wait to read Darklight, but for some reason the release date has been changed to February in Canada. I'm so bummed!

Great, concise review! I was debating whether or not to get this one, since Wondrous Strange was good but not my favorite, but it seems like I definitely will have to pick up Darklight soon.

I read Wondrous Strange and wasn't sure I'd finish the series…but you've made this one sound very appealing. I'll have to give it a try (and really, isn't that cover gorgeous?)!
Nice review!
