Shadowspell

Shadowspell by Jenna Black is the second book in her Faeriewalker series.

On top of spending most her time in a bunker-like safe house and having her dates hijacked by a formidable Fae bodyguard, Faeriewalker Dana Hathway is in for some more bad news: the Erlking and his pack of murderous minions known as the Wild Hun have descended upon Avalon.  With his homicidal appetite and immortal powers, the Erlking have long been the nightmare of the Fae realm.

A fragile treaty with the Faerie Queen, sealing with a mysterious spell, is the one thing that keeps him from hunting unchecked in Avalon, the only place on Earth where humans and Fae live together.  Which means Dana's in trouble, since it's common knowledge that the Faerie Queen wants her- and her rare Faeriewalker powers- dead. The  smoldering, sexy Erlking's got his sights set on Dana, but does he only seek to kill her, or does he have something much darker in mind?

The Breakdown:
1.  Black continues the story of Dana in Shadowspell, along with expanding with Faerie world and Avalon. This book adds in the danger of the Wild Hunt, something even the Sidhe queens are afraid of.

2. For Dana, she still struggling with all that being a Faeriewalker means, especially since she has some unexpected powers.  She has trouble trusting those around her, and it is no wonder since everyone seems to have lied to her at some point. She does manage to get herself into trouble with her independent streak.

3. So I know the Erlking is suppose to be quite the bad guy, but I can't help liking him. While he does not tell Dana everything, he does not lie to her like many of those around her, including her dad and Ethan.  Plus there is something hot about his bad boy image.

4. Erlking and Dana come to quite the interesting deal.  I can't wait to see how things will play out in the next book, and what it will mean for her relationship with Ethan, and others.
