About the book:

Zara and her friends knew they hadn't solved the pixie problem for good. Far from it. The king's needs grow deeper every day he's stuck in captivity, while his control over his people gets weaker. It's made him vulnerable. And now there's a new king in town.

A turf war is imminent, since the new pixie king, Astley, is moving in quickly. Nick nearly killed him in the woods on day one, but Zara came to his rescue. Astley swears that he and Zara are destined to be together, that he's one of the good guys. Nick isn't buying it, though Zara isn't as sure -- despite herself, she wants to trust the new king. But it's a lot more than her relationship with Nick that is at stake. It's her life -- and his.

4/5

This is a great second book in the series, it follows on nicely from the first one continuing with all the trials and tribulations that seem to follow Zara around. In this book we meet Zara's father in a different light, with everything seeming to go wrong what else can happen, oh yes a new king or two could turn up in town. When Zara has to deal with her first love Nick and one of the new kings who is following her everywhere she goes, how is she going to work out all her issues, then everything changes and she has to make some big decisions about which way she is going to go. I loved that i was still just as captivated by Zara's story in this book as the first, with everything that was going on the story line compelled you to read on. I must admit at first i did not see the twist coming with Nick, but in the end i can see that life is not going to get any easier for Zara. I loved the whole of this and really want to go and get the next instalment to continue on in Zara's world. I don't think readers of the first book will be disappointed in this one.
