I didn't read the first book in this series, but I don't feel like it took away from my ability to enjoy this book because the author did a great job explaining the backstory in the prologue.

"Lara Jansen is a truthseeker, gifted—or cursed—with the magical ability to tell honesty from lies." Dafydd ap Caerwyn, is the Faerie prince of the Seelie courts who traveled to Boston from the Barrow-Lands to seek her help in finding the man who had murdered his brother, Merrick ap Annwn. In working together, they fell in love, but the going wasn't easy for them. Now, they are working together again, but this time the fate of the Barrow-lands hangs in the balance, and only Lara and her staff (if she can just keep it under control) can save it.

I enjoyed this book very much. The characters were strong and well defined, and the world building was phenomenal. The plot was easy to follow and exciting enough to keep me interested. The ending was very satisfying, as well.

All told, I enjoyed this book so much that I plan to go back and read the first book in the series.

5/5 stars.

*** I would like to thank C.E. Murphy and Random House Publishing Group for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Second in the Worldwalker Duology. Truth seeker Lara Jansen finds herself in the Faerie world of the Barrow-lands caught in the midst of a civil war. Bostonian Lara has her wits and her weapon—magical staff that seems to have a will of it’s own. Then there’s her love for a Faerie Prince.
C.E. Murphy and paranormal are synonymous with “always a great read.”
