My normal life as a fae royal guard doesn’t feel so normal anymore. It hasn’t since I met my mate, the cocky, seductive King of the Court of Wraiths.
My search for a way to undo the prophecy has come up empty. I’m still as destined as ever to kill Lugh one day. That’s why I’ve kept my distance.
Until now. He needs my help. And I can’t turn him down. A new threat looms in the Edinburgh streets. If we don’t stop it, my mate-murdering prophecy will be the least of our worries.
Lugh could lose his very soul. And if that ever happens, there will be nothing to stop him from unleashing the nightmare wraiths from the darkest part of Faerie.
The mortal realm will never survive.
Confessions of a Wicked Fae is the second installment in author Jenna Wolfhart's The Supernatural Spy Files. Protagonist Moira Talmhach opens the story by hunting for a Druid seer named Caer who once told her that once she found her fated mate, she would end up killing him. Welp, as you know if you've read by review for the first book, that would be Lugh from the Court of Wraiths which is filled with outcasts, runaways, former criminals and the homeless.
He has pretty much refused to take a knee for Queen Clark aka The Morrigan who has unified her rule over the fae world. He likes his independence in Edinburgh, Scotland. Lugh wants peace, privacy, and freedom to live how his court wants to live. But, when Lugh's closest adviser & hobgoblin Usinech shows up, Moira knows that she has to return to Scotland. A place that she has avoided like the plague since she left at the end of the previous story for fear her prophecy will come true.
However, someone is seeking paranormals for a mission to take down Lugh and take his spear which is supposed to hold his soul and keep him from turning back into a Nightmare Wraith. Lugh's spear is a weapon of infinite brutality. Saoirse once prophesied that Lugh's Spear would be the
trigger mechanism to bring back an evil named Neman who was defeated by
Clarke in a previous series. Moira has to deal with a new villain, Lugh becoming her own nightmare, while also getting use to the fact that Lugh has become a permanent fixture in her life whether she likes it or not.
When a series of events brings Moira close to realizing that in order to save Lugh, she may have to do what she is foretold to do: kill him. I keep hearing that Moira is a fantastic sword wielder but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the fact more times than not. She continues to be knocked down and taken out of the game more times than not. Even though she is called a noble warrior by Usinech, you have to wonder if you have to read this authors previous series in order to find out.
This book apparently ends Moira storyline which is weird since either the author decided to stop here, or Amazon still hasn't been updated to the fact that this is only a duology. In fact, I dare say that will that ending, no spoilers, there's no needed for a sequel.
she definitely looks 'wicked' on that cover. :-)
