Melissa Marr writes a great modern Urban Fantasy book. Her characters have depth and seem real. The plot was really good and well-written. She creates a world which conveys the life and politics of the faeries. The suspense is always their. The different point of views allow you to read what the others are thinking and make you like them. The romance was very good and realistic.I couldn't put the book down and it kept me interested. Melissa Marr is a great author.
