When the invitation to the Gloaming arrives, Lexi can't believe that she, a half vampire, has been invited to enter the dark fae realm. Her first trip to a Shadow Realm isn't one she'll soon forget once she meets Cole, a dark fae prince. Fresh from the war that ravaged the mortal realm and devastated his family, Cole is struggling to piece his life back together when he encounters Lexi. He has always identified more with his dark fae side, but when her presence awakens the lycan part of him, Cole is unable to resist his attraction to her. When the hostile tension between the different immortals erupts, Lexi flees the Gloaming for the mortal realm. Once home, she's certain she'll never see Cole again. She's proven wrong when tragedy strikes. Lexi is unable to turn Cole away... even if helping him puts her in danger. Can their growing love survive the cruelty of the Shadow Realms, or will they be the next to fall? Enter the Shadow Realms. A world where vampires feast, lycans love deeply, dark fae seduce, witches cast their spells, dragons rule the skies... and treachery lurks around every corner. ***Due to sexual content, violence, and language, this book is recommended for readers 18+ years of age.***.

Action is written like it's supposed to be a movie. It describes typical movie cover pose shots but in text form. Instead of being badass or impressive this just comes across as awkward and amateurish. A lot of authors (like this one) don't seem to realize that a book is a fundamentally different medium that requires a different kind of scene setting. There are various different ways of describing fighting scenes that work very well in written form but imitating Hollywood blockbusters just doesn't.
The romance is your run-of-the-mill fated mate attraction spiced up with a bit of classic contrived conflict that keeps them apart a little bit.
The politics are unbelievably naive. These fae people have to invent basic governing systems like democracy in the 21st century and nobody thinks this strange despite them being reasonably familiar with modern human society.
It just doesn't hold together as anything other than a paranormal bodice ripper with a flimsy urban fantasy backdrop. (
