4.5 Stars!!
Don't you hate it when a book is getting really good...you look at the bottom and you are at 97% and you think....yes, I still got some time in this awesome world...just to flip the page and it is OVER!! Ugh, the frustration. Where is book 2!!
Well Quinn does it again! She is definitely royalty in the YA world! I absolutely love the The Grey Wolf series and I think I am going to enjoy this series as well.
I love how the Elfin series and The Grey Wolf series have some similarities but are different.
How they are similar: They are both Awesome!! There is one mate/Chosen per paranormal character. The characters are witty, loyal, and you want everyone to have their own book.
How they are different: Well in The Grey Wolf series all of the main characters are good guys. In the Elfin series not so much...
Cassie is a normal teenage girl living in a normal teenage world. She is working for her father in a business building and observes a late night meeting. The men in this meeting are not human...they are beautiful elves. Cassie can't believe what she is seeing and when she notices that she has been noticed...she locks herself in a room, but she not alone.
Now this series is about the Elfin race. There are the dark elves, that are selfish and can be cruel, and light elves, that are...well you get the picture.
In the room with Cassie is the right hand of the Dark Elf King...Trik. He is the best assassin who shows no remorse to those that he tortures, maims, and kills. He sees Cassie and something happens...she can see him in his true form (all elves put a cloak over themselves to look human). The only way someone could see someone in their true form is if they are that person's Chosen. All Trik can think is...How could this happen!! Trik is evil and Cassie is pure and innocent....how could she be his??
"No Arwenamin, it's a promise. I have no doubt in my mind that I do not deserve you. I have no right to you based on my actions in my very long life, but those aren't reasons enough for me to walk away from you."
So they try to have a relationship. Even though he comes from a dark place and she is pure light. It doesn't hurt that he is gorgeous. Even her mom thinks so...
"That was Trik."
"I got that much, Cassandra. But who is he, and where did you meet him, and how old is he, and how on earth is he that good looking?"
Cassie has an awesome family. Her father is hilarious and my favorite is her gothic best friend with no filter, Elora. She is loyal and she speaks her mind...
"Fine, but if you get yourself killed I reserve the right to flush your ashes down the toilet while I sing the theme from Titanic."
Trik tries so hard to be the man that Cassie needs him to be...
"You are my everything, the very breath I breathe, the water I drink, the food I eat; you are all that I need, all that I want and all that I am is yours."
But can he go against his nature...
"You forget, my love, he comes from darkness. He has lived in that darkness for more than a thousand years. That's a lot to overcome."
Can Cassie be enough for him to change...
Is it enough if the love only comes from one side? Is the love of one person enough to conquer the hurt of two?
The book is great!! I can't wait for book 2!! I want to see the entertaining way that good can over come evil. Is there going to be something between Elora and Cush??
Oh Quinn...only you can end a book so...open-ended!!

One of My Favorite Books
I read this book a couple years ago but didn't have a physical copy. When I saw the gorgeous new cover art, I absolutely HAD to get a hardback version asap. If you love morally gray love interests who are smooth and romantic, soulmate stories, or hot elves (specifically dark elves), than you're going to enjoy this book. It took a turn I wasn't expecting, and that is honestly not normal for me. Quinn Loftis is an awesome writer well worth my money and time:)
