Synopsis

In this sequel toWondrous Strange, Kelley Winslow finds her NYC acting career blossoming as she takes the lead inRomeo and Juliet. But she also finds herself desperately missing Sonny Flannery-who was forced back to the Faerie Otherworld, charged with a dangerous mission by Kelley's father, King Auberon.
When Kelley finds herself thrown into the Otherworld following a deadly chase in Central Park, her passionate reunion with Sonny is cut short. Ancient magick is stirring, and a dangerous enemy has Sonny and Kelley caught in a web of Faerie deception that could tear their love apart.

In spite of himself, Sonny knelt back down on the grass and glanced into the Faerie queen's improvised scrying pool. He had no wish to spy on Kelley. Still, he found he could not look away. . . . The wild, dangerous look on Kelley's face made her look so much like her mother that it gave Sonny a hollow feeling in the pit of his stomach. But not nearly as much as the last, lingering image that flared up in the water-the image of Kelley throwing her arms around another man.

From Booklist

Fans of Livingston’s first book, Wondrous Strange (2009), won’t want to miss this action-packed sequel. Sonny is in Faerie destroying the remaining members of the Wild Hunt while Kelley occupies her time in New York acting in a play and exploring her newly discovered powers. They are brought together when Kelley, attacked by an unidentified but powerful enemy, flees to Faerie with the Fennrys Wolf, a Janus Guard member who protects the gates between worlds. Bad-boy Fennrys adds an intriguing wrinkle in Kelley’s devoted but increasingly strained relationship with Sonny. This middle book ends with an ominous cliff-hanger, leaving all characters in dire straits, and readers will anxiously await the concluding volume. Grades 7-10. --Krista Hutley
