I seriously LOVED this book. I LOVE IT. Love. Love it.Aileana, "Kam", is pretty awesome. For kick-butt girls, her falconer heritage and abilities are totally great and she's all kinds of messed-up, multi-layered great. I really like all her faults, the worst of which feels catastrophic. She wants revenge and enjoys the hunt TOO much. It doesn't bite her in this story, but I'm totally freaked out thinking that it has to eventually.The reason I love, LOVE this book, though?Kiaran. "MacKay". Wow. He's soooo inhuman, what a powerful faery should be. He makes all those other faeries in books look like mild reflections of the real thing. Like tales of his kind watered down to be more palatable to humans. He's untrustworthy, deceptive, old-old-old and loaded with history that he won't share.Gavin is a great side character showing the depth of who Kam is or was before and has now become. He might've been perfect except he so isn't.Derrick wins the "best character in the book" award by far. He's hilarious and provides a bridge of connection between the startling world with fae and the "real" world where no one can see them. The tension grows so tightly strung and Derrick steps in for much-needed relief, snort-out-loud relief. PHEW. He's... like Tinkerbell. Lol. Only (awesomely) different.I enjoyed Scotland and the way faeries are more like zombies and monsters than "fairies". I loved all the rain and spoken slang. There's so much FUN crammed into one book. I just picked up speed and couldn't slow down... until WHAM! Over the edge at the end, clinging with fingernails that just lost grip. Don't trust the fae. Just don't. I already knew that, but I want to so badly!! Wow I love MacKay! Le iba a poner 3 estrellas. No por la historia sino por los personajes como Kiaran y Derrick.Acabo de terminar el libro. Estoy completamente decepcionada, no puedo creer que terminara asi. Despues de bancarme interminables paginas de pensamientos y charlas meloframaticas e hitericas de la protagonista.Por ser el libro debut de esta autora se da demaciados aires con ese final. No pienso leer el segundo libro, por mucho que me pese no saber, no lo voy a leer. Buscare algun resumen o alguna reseña, pero no lo voy a leer, no merece mi tiempo.No le veo un porque a un segundo libro sobre lo mismo cuando con la cantidad de hojas que tenia este libro y lo dejo sin final. Sinceramente.La portagonista deja mucho que desear. Es insoportable. Se la pasa deprimida o furiosa. Parloteando sobre el pasado y como se va a vengar de todos, pero cuando tiene las oportunidades las deja pasar con puro drama.Nunca entendí porque la epoca, o porque las cosas tecnologicas que tenia. No le encontre logica. Ni pies ni cabeza.Nunca me gustaron los libros basados en hadas. Pero tengo que decir que las hadas de este libro fueron lo mejorcito, y de ahi los 2 estrellas. Super decepcionada.
