After War of Hearts stormed out of nowhere (I'd never read any of this authors other books), I had to sit, not very patiently, waiting for KOV to arrive! I wouldn't say you can't read this without having read book 1, but it will definitely help! Fionn had a blink and you'll miss it part in book 1! The former Irish warrior king now gets to redeem himself! He led his people in war and when he was captured by the Fae Queen, he was turned against his will. Once he gained his hard-won freedom, his family and former warriors turned against him, entombing him for centuries. Now released he wants vengeance on the Fae. But is he really willing to shed the blood of a Fae-naïve female to do it? Rose is a former champion gymnast, now travelling aimlessly around Europe, always on the move. Her family don't understand why she feels so rootless. But after a close call with a sexual assault, Rose feels a deep seated guilt towards her would-be attacker and wants to understand more of her powers. Just as she decides it's time to move on she is attacked by a vampire and rescued by Fionn. But not before she gets a crack to the noggin! Who knew a head injury could lead to a world of revelations... Fionn is a staggeringly tall, hot, muscled dream. Pity his personality is rather...sharp, arrogant, alpha-hole! He lets no one close, even his poor hacker/researcher Bran gets the pointy end of his personality! Rose isn't sure what to make of him either, he truly gave me whiplash - I didn't know whether I wanted to kiss him or slug him one half the time! Amazing ancient artefacts, clashing collections of bad-guys, feuding families and long lost relations! I loved it! There is so much sizzle between Fionn and Rose. The witty banter from Bran is a bit of comic relief and the mad dash around Europe was adrenaline filled. As ever will the heart, head or a mix of both win out??? P.S Keep some tissues handy, cos there is a blub moment I did not see coming and I admit that I swore like a trooper and called the author lots of not-nice names when it happened!

4/5 Not as good as the first one (War of Hearts) but still, this was a good book. I really love the universe created here by Samantha Young. Hope we'll have the third book soon, because I really cannot wait for Kai's story!
