About this ebook

It's all she's ever wanted to be, but it couldn't be further from her grasp...

Dana Hathaway doesn't know it yet, but she's in big trouble. When her alcoholic mom shows up at her voice recital drunk, again, Dana decides she's had enough and runs away to find her mysterious father in Avalon: the only place on Earth where the regular, everyday world and the captivating, magical world of Faerie intersect. But from the moment Dana sets foot in Avalon, everything goes wrong, for it turns out she isn't just an ordinary teenage girl—she's a Faeriewalker, a rare individual who can travel between both worlds, and the only person who can bring magic into the human world and technology into Faerie.

Soon, Dana finds herself tangled up in a cutthroat game of Fae politics. Someone's trying to kill her, and everyone seems to want something from her, from her newfound friends and family to Ethan, the hot Fae guy Dana figures she'll never have a chance with... until she does. Caught between two worlds, Dana isn't sure where she'll ever fit in and who can be trusted, not to mention if her world will ever be normal again...

Ratings and reviews

Every time Dana speaks or thinks, she is complaining and self-pitying. It may be understandable in the early chapters, but it never stops! The plot had potential but the main character is the most unlikeable person ever written. I had to force myself to read the book after page 100, hoping she would grow up in chapters to come and so it wasn't a waste of $10.00. This book was a waste of time and money, it left me with nothing more than a headache.

I loved this book and cannot wait to read the next one in the series. With the vampire rampage, this was a very refreshing new type fantasyland reading!

A different approach to faeries, but I loved it even though it's a make believe city it's set in our world not faerie. And it's a fresh take on the whole seelie, unseelie courts and fey in gerenal.
