Although Laurel has come to accept her true identity as a faerie, she refuses to turn her back on her human life - and especially her boyfriend, David - to return to the faerie world.

But when she is summoned to Avalon, Laurel's feelings for the charismatic faerie sentry Tamani are undeniable. She is forced to make a choice - a choice that could break her heart.

I put off reading this for a long time because I wasn't a huge fan of Wings, but I have seen such good things said about this series that I felt I had to give them another chance. Let me just say I am so glad I did! I enjoyed gong into Avalon with Laurel, and getting to see what fairey life will be like if/when she decides to live in Avalon for good. I also loved Tamani I love him in the first book and still do, I enjoyed that we saw so much of him in this book. Watching Laurel's mom struggle with the fact that her daughter is a faerie added a touch of realism to this story in my opinion. I never was a huge David fan and really wish Laurel would decide to be with Tamani, but for the most part David is sweet and supportive of Laurel and her Faerie ways. I am dying to get started on Illusions to see what happens next. I give this one 4 stars.
