On the surface, Genny's life seems ripple-free right now. Finn, her sexy boss, has stopped pushing for a decision on their relationship. The seductive vampire Malik al-Khan has vanished back into the shadows. And the witches have declared her no longer a threat. But unless Genny can find a way to break the fertility curse afflicting London's fae, she knows this is just the lull before the magical storm. Then a faeling - a teenage girl - is fished out of the River Thames, dead and bound with magic, and Genny is called into investigate. As she digs through the clues, her search takes a sinister and dangerous turn, exposing age-old secrets that might be better left buried. Then another faeling disappears, and Genny finds herself in a race against time to save the faeling and stop the curse from claiming its next victim - herself!… (meer)

Got a bit lost with the storyline, and the ending just kind of...ended, but some good action.

I do have to say that the romance angle is very muddled. ( )

I love this series so much. ( )

I wasn't too sure where the series was headed with the fertility issue in book 2. I admit I did think that that this one wasn't going to be as good as the previous books. But boy was I wrong! It was amazing, and the shocks kept coming, I had no idea what was going to happen next. I practically had to force myself to put the book down and pull my head out of Genny's world. I gave up fighting it in the end and finished the rest, lol. Now I'm sitting down, biting my fingernails, thinking how I'm going to survive until the next instalment in 2012. At least we got a happy ending and yay! no cliffhangers. Which'll make the next year or so bearable!! If you haven't read this series, you should. I promise you won't regret it. ( )

I can't believe this, the next book is out first in 2012! How on earth will I make it until then? I seriously need more Genny.

And yes there will be spoilers from previous books here.

Back to business then. Genny needs to crack a certain fertility curse so that she doesn't have to have a baby. The Fae are sending suitors to her, and I must say that I like the two in this book. Then there is the queen of the fairy lands who doesn't want her preggers. But Genny does not give up and she keeps on going and going. She is one tough Sidhe.

As usual there are lots of things going on. Trying to break the curse, finding who is killing Faelings, and as usual dealings with vampires. There is plenty of action, and I just had to keep on reading because I did not want to put the book down. I just had to know what would happen next.

The love life then, there is still Finn, but honestly, he is too nice, while I want her with Malik, who is totally wrong for her, but that man just oozes passion. And they have some serious tension going on between them. One more thing I looking forward to in the next book.

The book did manage to make me go OMG! What a moment, I did not see that coming. I wish I could tell you all, but just read the series and you will experience it.

A magical series that make me want more and more. The books keep on getting better.

Conclusion:
Just read the series :D It has so much to offer, some good old sexual tension, vampires with plans, all sorts of different Fae, London, and secrets, so many juicy secrets. Now I just have to wait one more year until the next book, I would give anything for at least a blurb.

Rating:
Awesome

Suzanne McLeod has got her own unique style of writing. It's explosive, layered, intriguing and sometimes confusing as hell, but i absolutely love it!

This is a third installment of Spellcrackers.com, and if you haven't read the first two books you really don't know what you're missing...

Genny's life is not quiet and it's not calm. Finn still wants to have babies with her and coincidentally break the fertility curse which hangs over every fae in the world. Tavish, wickedly charming wylde fae and Genny's ex threatens her on behalf of Morrigan, Goddess of Death and Fertility not to have sex or any children, because they both will die. Horribly. And Malik al-Khan, her vampire master, is determined to protect her at all cost. Even from herself.

Then the teenage faelings keep turning up dead and under a Glamour spell. Genny is forced to investigate and becomes convinced that the deaths have something to do with fertility curse.

There are layers upon layers of intrigues, everyone is in the midst of the mess - vampires, witches and fae. Sometimes I was getting so confused I had to go back and reread the passages.

London, dark and gritty, with its noise and accents is wonderful as usual. Magic in Between, jealousy, revenge, old secrets, beautiful men and ugly monsters, beautiful monsters - this book is full of them...

After all the rollercoaster, looks like Genny gets a breather. But for how long? I can't wait to find out in the next book. Also, what happened to Helen?

Favorite scene: vampire attack, - it was surreal.
Favorite quote:
Sylvia turned up with breakfast. Only she wasn't alone.
Johnny Depp was with her.
"Ta da!" She spread her arms wide. "Look who I found."
Johnny Depp was with her! And he was dressed in his Captain Jack Sparrow pirate costume!
"Hello, luv." He chucked me under the chin and made a high clicking noise. "How's your ship sailing?"
