But when her fiancé, Ben, is violently abducted the next morning, her desperate quest to find him rips her away from small-town life and reveals a shattering truth: magic is real-and Ben is hooked. Mattie Carver’s engagement party should have marked the start of her own personal fairy tale. ***Warning: this is an adult book, and for the eyes of mature readers*** *** Review posted on The Eater of Books! blog*** And I'm disappointed by the fact that I didn't love it, and a little bit because the book had some elements that I personally did not like.

I liked it and I will definitely be reading the rest of the series. I wanted to love this one, but I couldn't. I've read eleven of her twelve published books, and while three stars remains the lowest rating I've given any of her books, nine of those eleven have been four-star ratings or higher. With Asa by her side, she’ll face not only the supernatural forces arrayed against her but the all-too-human temptation that she fears she can’t resist.ĭisappointed to give this book less than four stars, because it's been the norm for me to absolutely adore Sarah Fine's books.

Now, from magic-laced Vegas casinos to the netherworld clubs of Bangkok, Mattie is on a rescue mission. Asa agrees to help find Ben on one Mattie must use her uncommon talent to assist his smuggling operations.

Asa has the power to sense magic, and he realizes Mattie is a reliquary, someone with the rare ability to carry magic within her own body, undetected. Determined to find out who took Ben and why, Mattie immerses herself in a shadowy underworld and comes face-to-face with the darkly alluring Asa Ward, a rogue magic dealer, infamous hustler…and her missing fiancé’s estranged brother. It’s wildly addictive, capable of producing everything from hellish anguish to sensual ecstasy almost beyond human endurance. But when her fiancé, Ben, is violently abducted the next morning, her desperate quest to find him rips her away from small-town life and reveals a shattering magic is real-and Ben is hooked.
