This was definitely my least favorite books in the series so far. Especially since they keep stressing how the Fae are aliens without a soul and it's their understanding of advance technology that allows them to do what they do.
Puck is one of my favorite fairy-tale characters of all time and I can't say that I care for the author's version of him. Adam Black may be hot, but that's until he opens his mouth. Some of the things he says while trying to seduce Gabby are just so corny that I wanted to gag and found myself rolling my eyes repeatedly. And, call me crazy, but I don't find getting gifts of items stolen from department stores and jewelers to be romantic.
After reading this book, I'm also wondering if the author will ever have a lead heroine that doesn't start out as a virgin while the guy was a raving man-slut before meeting her.
The author is also getting redundant in her anti-climatic closings of her books. (I've just read up to this book in the series within a couple of weeks, so I've been over-exposed to her plots.) They're the kind of endings where the hero is separated from the heroine and then she goes into mope-mode after his disappearance because she's so grief-stricken. And then they get back together and it's all hunky-dory.
Needless to say, I was disappointed in her ruination of one of my favorite Fae characters at the end of this one. It's like declawing a kitty.
