I will not profess to be a writer but I love to read. This story is dense to the point the author forgot to fill in certain details. This is not a spoiler, but what exactly does the Fae feed on? Is it the act of copulation or is it the release of body fluids during climax? I am confuse here. What are the hordes? Are they Fae or something else? So Cyn is a Fae, so is Ryder, then what beast is part of Ryder? Why are we wondering what is Cyn when she is a Fae of unbelievable power, that is yet to be seen. What is the familiar and why introduce that storyline when it is not explained properly. This can be a great story if the many gaps and forgotten thoughts were filled in. The narration was excellent. The sexual acts were ok but repetitious. Maybe something will be explained in the next book.
