Midnight Star by Michelle Madow

 Warning there is a big cliffhanger at the end. If you don't like them you may want to wait until the next book is finished before you read this one. I must admit I love Riven! But he does something really stupid in this book. If it were me I would not have agreed with the dryad! Sapphire could have changed everything by not reacting impulsively. I'm pretty sure Celeste said that they would have to negotiate for the sap. Sapphire totally forgot that part. I will give her the benefit of the doubt because she was raised human and isn't used to dryads. However, she didn't have to agree to the horrible trust's demand that Riven give her his "impossible love" as the dryad called it. Yep, you guessed it they let the dryad take their love away from Riven. Instead of the obsessed man that held her in his arms as she astral projected to a star he becomes a cold strategist. They could have looked for another tree that produces the same sap! I definitely would have tried that first. Sapphire could have attacked the dryad & tried to drink her blood. When they later meet Eros she could have tried what I just mentioned on him too. God or not I definitely would have tried or even tried to call out to Celeste because she did tell her to if she needed help. The Fae in this book are your typical dark do anything for entertainment type. Forget feelings because the dark Fae don't have any which I think makes them love preying on the humans even more. Zoey is kidnapped to the dark Fae territories which is to say the vampires. Zoey is to be a "pet" for the royals. Which basically means breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a snack. She is one of the many humans at the castle. Her owner vampire is obsessed with her. He is so captivated by her he looses control and kills another person at the castle for touching Zoey. I will say this Zoey shouldn't have been anywhere near that guy. He was creepy & she knew it! If they guy makes you physically ill to be around him because he is twice as obsessed with her than her owner she shouldn't have been playing with fire! Bottom line is she can't trust anyone where she's staying. Even the humans have their own agenda. I don't think she is going to find out what she needs to know to make an informed decision because vampires live a long time. Most of the humans don't know the history of everything that has happened in the castle. And everyone is trying to manipulate each other to accomplish their own goals. Zoey better watch her back because she can't afford to be sent to the barns.
