Summary
from Goodreads:
To save the Faery world and her mother’s
life, Lorelei sacrificed everything, and the dangerous bargain she made in
Nevermore had lasting repercussions. Now safely back in her own world, Lorelei
seems the same to her highschool friends and her supernatural boyfriend. Yet
love across dimensions is complicated, especially when an invisible Veil
between the two worlds—the only bridge that links the pair, is sealing,
threatening to separate Lorelei and Adrius forever.
Determined to find a solution, Lorelei
resorts to using her new found powers. But when her friends succumb to the same
mysterious illness that nearly took her mother’s life, Lorelei can’t help but
wonder if her own dark magic is responsible. Still, the nightmares from
Nevermore continue their icy hold. Someone from Adrius’s past arrives,
determined to destroy Lorelei’s world starting with those closest to her, and
Lorelei is forced to choose between her family and friends and a love that was
ill-fated from the start.

Excerpt 1:
“Stay. Just…. Stay.” The
second I said it I felt awful. What was I asking? I knew he couldn’t stay, that
he needed to return to his world to stay alive in mind.
Since the night of the dance we’d carefully stayed away from
discussing our little predicament. We were still at a standoff. He couldn’t
live in my world without magical aids to keep him alive, because of the toxic
nature of our polluted air, and I couldn’t go back to his world, because of a
bunch of angry beings trying to kill me. That left us here. He would have to
return to his world and refuel, to come back to mine. How long the potions
lasted depended upon how much stress he was under. Physical exertion, extreme
emotions all used up the reserve more quickly. Then there was the issue of his
still being tied to Venus, the daughter of the ice witch I killed. A curse had
caused his forced fealty to her. Killing the witch was not only supposed to
save Mythlandria from her destructive wrath, it was also supposed to free
Adrius of the curse that bound him to the ice witch’s commands. Who knew there
was a daughter who would take over the bonds, and that she was also his
ex-girlfriend.
