My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Before this book I had never heard of the talented author Hadley Thorne, but this book was wonderful. I have always loved supernatural books and this one has it all, vampires, fae, magic, immortals and even real world events into her stories. The interesting title and then cover drew me in, but reading the synopsis I was quickly pulled in and needed more details.
Connor O’Brien is a vampire, that after a century still seeks revenge for the person responsible for turning him. Niamh el Ri’ili is the high princess of the Emerald City Under the Mound, who has long wished for something more then just sitting in her castle. Until the night Conner and Niamh met, the moment changed both of their lives. He no longer felt he existed to protect his family and seek revenge. Niamh’s long dormant powers awakens them in a new world of blood and sun. Suddenly, as if awoken when her powers did, an old foe returns robbing Niamh not only of her powers but of her memories. Determined to get her back Connor prepares to do whatever is needed in hopes of breaking the spells hold on Niamh, to bring her back to him.
Is Connor’s love for Niamh enough to save her mind from the spell? Will Niamh be able to survive the strange world of men without her powers? Or will Niamh fade into oblivion without her memories? The world the author creates is both one of magic and reality, I often found myself relating to the amazing characters. Also, the take on Connor, that yes he has been around for a century but unlike most stories he hates being a vampire, an immortal being with seemingly no purpose but to protect and seek revenge. Niamh in many ways brought Connor back to life, giving him a greater purpose, a life worth living with love, desires, and intrigue. If you’re looking for a great read of the supernatural this is the book for you. I will definitely be looking into more of the authors books very soon.
