Also it is alluded to that Helene was sexually assaulted during her time lapse. I just never felt the connection between Miach and Helene, the way I did between Beth and Conn. The plot does revolve around the fae court trying to break through the veil between the worlds, as this is the arc of the series, which I did find interesting. I did not like this book as well as I liked Cold Iron, which was Beth and Conn’s story. McDermott writes a spine tingling adventure for both Helene and Miach, which involves fae magic, hot sex, some sexual voyeurism, danger and betrayal. Helene is attracted to Miach, but being with a fae has strings and Helene does not want to have those strings tangle around her, but she has not other choice as she is scarred. She turns to Miach, the Fae sorcerer who she meet in book one. Both Beth and her Fae hubby Conn are out of the country, and for Helene is all alone trying to figure out what is happening to her. Helene Whitney, best friend and co worker of the heroine Beth Carter from book one is missing time. The story picks up about a year after the events in Cold Iron.

Ancient, immortal, tricksy and cruel, these creatures out of myth and legend rule the Irish enclaves of South Boston and Charlestown, and one of them has been using magic to abduct and control Helene for hours every day, gaining access to the collection at her museum and searching for ancient objects of Fae power. A year ago she would have put it down to overwork and exhaustion, but that was before she found out about the Good Neighbors, the Fair Folk, the Beautiful People, the Fae. Not losing track of time, but missing hours, finding whole blank spaces in her day she can’t account for. This post contains affiliate links, please see our 'About' page.
