Cory is an imperfect heroine - she's beautiful in the eyes of those who love her, but by no means a supermodel; she's insecure, down-to-earth and humble (unlike another series whose name I won't mention). Ms. Lane's world-building is complete and believable. More than any other series in a long time, these books really drew me in. I seriously couldn't put the book down and read it pretty much in one day. I stayed up until the wee hours to finish it. I actually cared about these characters in their alternate universe.
In this novel, Cory is at school in San Francisco, burying herself in classwork to overcome her grief at losing Adrian. Throughout the novel, she learns to love, learns to lead, and faces an entity that steals memories of "firsts." She, Green, Brack and the rest of the menagerie uncover the root of the plot that eventually killed their beloved Adrian. She also becomes inadvertently bound (sort of married) to two people.
I'm excited to read the third book in this series. Loved it....more

She leads a mundane life working at a gas station and taking classes to better herself and get out of the little, nowheresville in which she lives...until one day, she's touched by an elf who awakens her powers and introduces her to a world simmering just below the surface of her life.
Cory falls in love with Adrian and becomes a part of Green's Hill, a world populated by sidhe, pixies, weres, and vampires, oh my. However, as she is learning what she is, some violent entity is killing weres and leaving them splattered all over town. Can Cory, Adrian, Green, Arturo and the rest save their friends?
This is a compelling and complete world with well-drawn, interesting characters. A good read.
