REVIEW:
I have to say that I enjoyed this book and it's cast of characters. I was also impressed by the world-building in this book and in book one of this series. It is easy to imagine Mylena in my head as a I read. Something I found interesting in this book is that Greta's journey to rid herself of dark magic really tried to tear people apart instead of bringing them together. I was really expecting a warm, fuzzy coming-together and it didn't happen but I'm really pleased by that. It was something new and different. One thing I have to say that I didn't like about this book is that Isaac isn't as involved in this story as he was in book one and I REALLY like his character. Who knew goblins could be sexy? Greta is pretty kick-ass in this book and I do think that the characters were written very well. This book is as fast-paced as the first one and it kept me up late nights because I couldn't stop reading.

Summary from Goodreads:
While trying to save her brother from a witch’s fire
four years ago, Greta was thrown in herself, falling through a portal to
Mylena, a dangerous world where humans are the enemy and every ogre, ghoul, and
goblin has a dark side that comes out with the eclipse.
To survive, Greta has hidden her humanity and taken the job of bounty hunter—and she’s good at what she does. So good, she’s caught the attention of Mylena’s young goblin king, the darkly enticing Isaac, who invades her dreams and undermines her will to escape.
But Greta’s not the only one looking to get out of Mylena. An ancient evil knows she’s the key to opening the portal, and with the next eclipse mere days away, every bloodthirsty creature in the realm is after her—including Isaac. If Greta fails, she and the lost boys of Mylena will die. If she succeeds, no world will be safe from what follows her back...

Chloe Jacobs is a native of
nowhere and everywhere, having jumped around to practically every Province of
Canada before finally settling in Ontario where she has now been living for a
respectable number of years. Her husband and son are the two best people in the

No such luck. And although the day job keeps her busy, she carves out as much
time as possible to write. Bringing new characters to life and finding out what
makes them tick and how badly she can make them suffer is one of her greatest
pleasures, almost better than chocolate and fuzzy pink bunny slippers.
