Grabbing the bag of pastries while patting him down she finds a small gold ring that didn't belong to her along with a pocket watch. Toby is a Fae hybrid and his Brownie side is famous for their light fingers.
Breaking him of his kleptomaniacal tendencies seemed to be a losing battle, but she was hoping that her best friend, Elis, and his mate, Llyr, taking him to the Otherworld to learn about his Brownie heritage would help him learn to control his tendencies.
She had been in London when she caught his malnourished fingers attempting to rob her. Upon seeing the beaten and malnourished child she took him for dinner and threatened the parents if he received any further harm and also gained their promise that if he ever wanted to live with her they wouldn't stop him. That was three years ago.
Melisandre returned from a visit to find her home destroyed and a note buried beneath a bloody knife handle. It was a demand from the Queen of Vampires for her presence to answer for crimes committed by her ward. Her heart dropped... the cruel queen's penchant for torture and suffering was well known.
She had hidden in the human realm as she was the last of her kind... she was an alchemist. And to save her ward's life she had to become the Consort's Familiar. The Queen wanted Melisandre's power but didn't know what it was and Melisandre would make sure she never found out the true depth of her powers.
I absolutely loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. I do have to give a warning straight off... there is a cliffhanger so there is no HEA and it takes the story on a shocking direction. But regardless, I highly recommend this book as the continuing story should be just as amazing and hopefully give a resolution.
Melisandre is the last Alchemist, unlike the rest of her kind she had more than one part of Nature that she could control. And that was a secret she didn't plan to share. Alceaus was the fiancee Consort to a Queen whom he had no plans on marrying.
This book is action-packed and full of danger as Melisandre tries to outsmart a vampire queen determined to control all the realms using Melisandre's power over Nature. This paranormal romance is steamy hot and will keep you turning the pages. Toby and Elis will keep you laughing with their antics.
An Otherworld Court full of intrigue. A King of Vampires with a plan to thwart a demented Vampire Queen determined for war. Can Melisandre and Alceaus' love win all?
Highly recommend and looking forward to the next book in this series!
