I was giddy to come to the part of the book where Keenan finds out that Irial is actually possessing Niall's body for brief periods of times. Even though, Irial and Niall's story is told in the second book and i have yet to read it, I felt sad to read about Irial's death. It was not until the second to last chapter that Aislinn and Seth share a romantic moment without problems resulting. I really loved that both Keenan/ Donia and Seth/ Aislinn end up together. She chose to say goodbye to him and Keenan gives up his Summer court. It came down to Keenan finally making her choose. Keenan and Aislinn have on separate occasions tried to make things work for them in a romantic way for the sake of their court. Niall having reacted badly after Irial's death takes that as betrayal for not warning him that Irial would be murdered. Having him caged and in a particular occasion burning his face close to his eye, all because Seth confesses he can see the future. Which caused my shock at the way Niall treated Seth in this book.

Until I read this book I thought Niall and Seth's friendship would remain the same. Seth leaves his "mother" Sorcha in order to help Niall who is mourning Irial's death (caused by Bananach). Now the fifth one comes and I had high hopes of Aislinn and Seth actually being together as a real couple.īasically this book centers on the Dark, Winter, and Summer courts preparing themselves to face Bananach (War) in a battle for peace after War stirs trouble within aforementioned courts.

Seth was involved more with Sorcha and Niall rather then Aislinn. Skipped four for the same reason as I did two. I was dissapointed by the lack of moments they had together. The reason I got into this series was Seth and Aislinn's chemistry and romantic tension in the first Wicked Lovely book. So I skipped book two due to their lack of involvement and appearances in it, all the way to the third. After enjoying reading books one and three (have yet to read books two and four), this fifth and final installment to the Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Marr so far is my second favorite. Around noon this Friday I finished reading Darkest Mercy.
