Book Description
A sequel to the smash hit paranormal NEED that had teens everywhere thinking about pixies in a whole new way…
Zara and her friends knew they hadn't solved the pixie problem for good. Far from it. The king's needs grow deeper every day he's stuck in captivity, while his control over his people gets weaker. It's made him vulnerable. And now there's a new king in town.A turf war is imminent, since the new pixie king, Astley, is moving in quickly. Nick nearly killed him in the woods on day one, but Zara came to his rescue. Astley swears that he and Zara are destined to be together, that he's one of the good guys. Nick isn't buying it, though Zara isn't as sure -- despite herself, she wants to trust the new king. But it's a lot more than her relationship with Nick that is at stake. It's her life -- and his.
"Jones constructs another captivating-and appropriately titled-read that will not disappoint fans of Need. Funny dialogue, lots of action and suspense, and an unexpected ending will leave readers clamoring for the next installment."—VOYA
"Protagonist Zara is basically Buffy the Vampire Slayer if Buffy were dealing with pixies rather than vampires. The book is full of witty, funny dialogue and nail-biting action scenes, so distracting that you crash head first into the thought provoking messages woven into the story without even realizing it. It is a fun, well-written book with an exciting and diverse set of characters to keep you constantly entertained. It is a book that I would recommend to any of my friends, and by the time the last page is turned, it is easy to see that it lives up to its title."—VOYA,Teen Reviewer
The fusion of self-sacrifice and burning love will fully slake the thirst of eager Need fans." -Kirkus Reviews
“Successfully delivers expected characters, tensions, and romance. Fans will rejoice.”—Booklist
