Note: This is Book 2 in the series and can work as a stand alone. Book 1 was good but this book is much better. It’s a bit darker, more gritty, some great secondary characters, awesome fight scenes, and some twisted fae. Yancy still fascinates me. He has his dated lingo and smokes like a chimney but...

But with the world in the balance and another seal possibly falling into the hands of their enemie...

He did his bit for the Guild of the Staff, the wizards’ ruling body, and now he’s past done with them. But when an old friend asks for help to rescue his grandson from some winter fae, Yancy can...
DNF at 52%! This year's first DNF. I just couldn't get into the story or like the main character (or any character when I think about it). It's just me, not every book can suit everyone.
