BLURB:

When it came to defense, or offense when needed, Cullen McIntyre thought he was prepared. It wasn’t until he watched as monsters he’d never knew existed walked out of thin air to kill members of his family, twice, that Cullen realized how wrong he’d been. By the third time he’d come face to face with those determined to kill him and the rest of his family for doing their duty, Cullen knew he needed help, and lots of it.

The moment Ulf laid eyes on Cullen, he’d been enthralled by the man’s resolve to protect what was left of his family. Being shot and left for dead by Cullen should have cooled his desire for the fiery man, but it only made him want him more. By the time he caught up to Cullen, Ulf knew, without a doubt, the druid was destined to be his. Now he just needed to convince Cullen of that.

As Cullen and Ulf join their friends to fight the monsters from the realm of the Fae, they find there is a new threat waiting to get through the Veil. A threat they might not be able to defeat. Will Ulf & Cullen get their chance at happily ever after, or will the Fae finally succeed in their quest to destroy the veil?

REVIEW:

Now I was planning on 5*, but, and I don’t know if it’s because it’s a not finished version or what, but there were a lot of errors. Wrong names, grammatical stuff. So it needs to be looked over.

When I started reading this series, everyone was like my favorite, ya know? They all had these extreme personalities, but they all just meshed so we’ll. Of course, being together for thousands of years helps, but whatever. The more I read, though, the more individuals just had this way of getting to me more than the others. The last book it was Kegan. And Arne. Oh Arne.

Well Arne has moved to top spot with Cullen. I don’t know which I admire and love more. Now Arne I love because he just tells it like it is. MOST of the time, everyone knows it’s a defense mechanism but it makes for some very funny moments. What made it funnier, is Cullen. The minute Fen the fae showed his face, Cullen had a knife in his chest. No one saw it happen, it was so quick. But Arne was falling over laughing. Anyway, that’s why I love Arne. That personality. But Cullen made an impression because yeah, he’s not afraid to take on Fen and got quite a few knife shots in. And he didn’t back down. He made Fen finally tell some of the truth behind what was really going on and now things are getting worse. Because it’s not just the pets getting through the veils. It’s the unseelie guards. And that means soon. The worst. The problem is, how many more people have to die before the Druid’s can close veil for good. And will there be enough Druid’s left to do so.

What broke me in this book, was Cullen’s little nephew. He watched him mom and dad doesn’t right in front of him at 5 years old and now he’s training with knives to do his part. And is damn good! But even with how smart, strong and utterly into seeing things most don’t, he’s still just this sweet blue eyed, blond haired little tiny boy that I want to hug. Sweet baby.

The other thing is, this series is taking a hell of a turn. More of the secrets of the curse are coming out. The curse of why Fen is cursed. Secrets are flowing and no one knows who is left alive from the Druids. It’s making for an interesting read.
