Mask of Darkness Review

Mask of Darkness
Written by:  Megan Geddie


This book has a little of everything in it, romance, action, heartbreak.  The book is about Layla she is content going through her life staying in the background and not calling any attention to herself.  Then enters Alasdair who is a fairy prince. That is where her life takes a drastic turn.  She is drawn into a world that is at war and she is the savior.   Layla has powers that she didn't know she possessed until she needed them.  

Layla is chased by demons that want to kill her and she finds out that she isn't even human!  As Layla and Alasdair are on the run  from the demons they fall in love and all is right in the world, until Alasdair's fiance comes into the picture.  After finding out about his fiance that he kept hidden from her she runs off and is captured by the very demon that is out to kill her.

She is tortured but she is not alone. Kai is there with her.  Kai is son of the man that wants to kill her. She met Kai in a dream where a demon hurt him and she saved him and then healed him of his wounds. He gives her a necklace so that she can come back and meet him again in her dreams.  The necklace protects her from Darian coming into her dreams and trying to harm her or find her location.  Kai attempts of comfort her and protects her from the demons as best he can until Alasdair comes to save her.  Kai and Layla ultimately rescue themselves only to run into Alasdair crashing in the front door with a fairy army come to save her.  In the end Kai and Layla make it out of danger but the last sight of Alasdair on his knees in front of Darian is the sight that will haunt Layla and will be the last glimpse that she gets of her beloved Alasdair.

I hope that Megan Geddie decides to continue with this story as it was very good.  I want to know what happens with Layla  Kai, and Alasdair.  She made you care about the characters and feel like you were in the moment with them.  I loved the writing style and the way that the story flowed across the pages.  She was able to go from one scene to the next without any of the award transitions that some authors have when writing this type of story.  The characters were very well developed.  This book would be appropriate for age 15+ as there were some scenes that alluded to a sexual situation and/or feelings.  Anyone that likes fairies will defiantly enjoy this book.
