Meuwissen
Genre: Urban
Fantasy / Paranormal Gay Romance
Nathan Grier returns from the Veil a changed man. The consequences
of his time with Malak, the dark sidhe king, and the deal made to free him may
be more than he can bear. The weakening of the Veil and new enemies foretell of

fae hunter and incubus, Sasha Kelly, may not be enough to save him after all.
The Previous Books in the Series
Incubus (The Incubus Saga - Book 1)Nathan Grier only ever wanted a normal life, but for him, life, family, and love are anything but normal. On the other side of the Veil, dark and light fae exist outside the knowledge of most humans. Nathan was born human, but his twin brother Jim is a changeling. On the run since they were children, time for both of them is running out. Turning to fae hunter Sasha Kelly for help, Nathan must soon face his growing feelings for the other man while trying to save himself and his brother from a fate worse than death.
-----
Changeling (The Incubus Saga - Book 2)
Nathan Grier’s dark fae bounty looms overhead. As he faces the very real threat of becoming a slave to the bounty’s owner, his brother Jim uses his changeling abilities more and more trying to save him. Every changeling throughout history turns evil once their powers manifest, meaning time may be running out for both of them as Jim nears True Awakening. Fae hunter and incubus, Sasha Kelly, is prophesized to save Nathan, but while Nathan has embraced his feelings for the other man, he fears their time together will be cut short—either from his impending fate…or Jim’s.

Book Excerpts
“Nathan,
it’s us,” Sasha tried to say calmly, inching closer with hands held up in
seeming surrender. Jim did the same.
Nathan
knew he had to be a pitiable sight with that weakly held knife, but he’d use
it, damn it, he would. Somehow he’d use
it.
His back
hit the corner of the room.
“Playing
that game?” Nathan scoffed. “I know better.
You haven’t been them in…in so
long, I…I don’t even remember. I don’t
remember…”
“Nathan,”
Jim pleaded, moving closer with one hand outstretched. He looked so strange to Nathan, almost
believable with those dark blue eyes so caring, so concerned. “I can’t imagine what it must have been like,
but it’s over. You’re not in the Veil
anymore. We got you out. You’re safe.
With us.”
“Please
believe us, Nathan,” Sasha said. “Just look at us.” He gestured to himself; to Jim. Sasha too looked so normal, so honest and how
Nathan remembered him. “It’s really us. You’re safe, Nathan. Please recognize us…”
He
recognized them. But it had to be a
trick. Another damn trick like all the
others.
“I gave
you what you wanted,” Nathan said again.
He was so cold. Nothing looked
right. Nothing felt right. He couldn’t understand why this was happening
when he had finally given in.
“Nathan,
it’s us,” Sasha said more firmly,
like maybe Nathan just couldn’t hear them.
“Malak
took you and we’re so sorry,” Jim said. “We wish we could have gotten you out
sooner, but you have to know us. Please
tell me you still know us…”
“Malak…?”
Nathan glared at the false images before him, knife still held firm, warning
them not to get closer. “It had nothing
to do with that, you know that, you know. I didn’t…I didn’t go to the Veil.”
Jim and
Sasha stopped their progression toward him, their eyes wide and
disbelieving. They shared a pained look,
not knowing what to say until finally Jim spoke, slow and gentle.
“Nathan,
don’t you remember? Malak said killing
the spriggan instead of banishing it broke the deal. That’s why we couldn’t
win, why we couldn’t save you. You went
to the Veil, Nathan. You’ve been in the Veil. But you’re out now. I don’t know what Malak did to you there, but
we got you out.”
It almost
made sense, as if a second reality were trying to push into Nathan’s mind:
memories of what Jim was saying, memories he knew weren’t fabrications, and
yet…how could he remember things happening two different ways?
The
Veil? Had that been the Veil? To him it had felt like life.

Review:
This book was an interesting take on
the supernatural world and the war between good and evil. It took fae, the devil, and God and shook it
all up and stood it on its head. The
story is a good mix of fantasy, romance, and adventure.
I would recommend reading all three
books in order, but you can follow the story even if you only read Sidhe.
I give this story 4 out of 5 clouds.
