Liliana has seen a future where handsome army colonel and secret fae prince, Alexander Bennett, is horrifically murdered and she needs to decide whether or not, and how to, prevent this from happening. In truth, she's attracted to Alexander, but she's not sure he is a good guy. Sigh! Does it matter? Bad boys can be so much fun! Really, wouldn't Lilly's hitherto reclusive existence be spiced up by hooking up with the dark and influential Alexander AND she saves him as well? This is why I loved this book from start to finish!

Liliana is a spider-kin whose four sets of eyes come in handy to see through time, space, and intent. She has spent a long and quiet life supporting herself by telling fortunes, and staying "off the grid", in a futuristic North Carolina that has a few technological advances beyond our time. But lately, her future-sight has led to her intervene in some pretty big machinations involving political intrigues and power shifts within the world of Others that includes fae, shifters, and wizards. Getting involved means collecting new friends, both Others and Normals, for the shy spider-kin who hasn't always processed the spoken word and social norms the way neuro-ordinary people would do.

I really enjoyed Obsidian Prince as the third in the "Fae of Fayetteville" series. Things are heating up with Alexander. Liliana's friendships are solidifying and her reputation is rising. Her concrete way of thinking conveys an amusing and endearing quality, as well as her proclivity to say exactly what is on her mind. Those who are close to Liliana trust her to tell the truth and this plays a crucial role in her ability to protect those she loves. I was fascinated by Paige Ewing's imagination and creativity in telling the story of a seer whose glimpses of the future can lead to more questions and confusion rather than a definite solution. There are so many future paths and each decision can alter them into even more possibilities. I felt very invested in Liliana and Alexander's dilemma and the anticipation of whether their mystery threat can be solved in time. Very exciting! Very sexy! Brilliantly envisioned! Like a reader stuck in a web, I am entrapped and need more. Bring it on, Paige Ewing!

This was a strong third entry in the Liliana and the Fae of Fayetteville series, it had that element that I enjoyed from the previous two books. It was everything that I was looking for and was engaged with what was happening. The characters worked in this world and was glad everything worked together. I enjoyed how Paige E. Ewing wrote this and am excited for more from them.
