There's a new drug in Nekros. It makes nightmares come alive. Alex thought she was coming down with a cold, but finds out that she is fading because she has no tie to Faerie. A dead body appears on the Winter Queen's doorstep, so she commands Alex to find the killer. As she's fading fast, Alex agrees to take the case only in exchange for Independent status. Hopefully she has enough time left. I love this series and I am getting ready to start the next one!!

Worth the read if you have come this far in the series.
