“I didn’t fall for Des because he was handsome, or because he knew my secrets, but because he stuck around when I was least lovable. Those past chapters meant so much to this story and whereas sometimes I find time jumps irritating, I found myself itching for these chapters just as much as the present. The friendship built between these two when Callie was a teenager was beautiful to read and it is this base that makes their relationship in the present all the more rewarding for the reader. I have to say I loved everything about this book, the relationship between Callie and The Bargainer was extremely well written, totally captivating and utterly believable. “A fairy doesn’t show his wings to his betrothed…A fairy shows them to his soulmate.” Callie is now older and wiser and seven years later, The Bargainer has come to collect. Callypso called on The Bargainer a lot and for every call she was rewarded with another bead to her bracelet and at the last count she owed The Bargainer a lot.until one night he just disappeared. Callypso should have been frightened of him and yet he showed her compassion, The Bargainer went above and beyond and so the unlikeliest of friendships was born. “The Bargainer” is the King of the Night, a man with insane powers and who never does anything for free, you call The Bargainer, you owe and The Bargainer always collects. And if anything tries to touch you, they will reckon with me.” As a child, Callypso went through a lot, culminating in a night that will haunt her forever, a night so horrific that she had no choice but to call on the services of “The Bargainer.” Through flashbacks to her past though the reader soon learns that her life was not always so charmed. Now a bounty hunter of sorts Callypso uses her gift to extract the truth from the unscrupulous and even the evilest of hearts are not immune to her charms. A word of caution: I’m not leaving again.”Ĭallypso Lillis is a siren and in the world of the supernatural they are a rare commodity. “Seven years is a long time to wait, especially for someone like me. I fell in love with this authors voice, she charmed me like the siren in the story she was telling and this was one of those books that I couldn’t put down. Laura Thalassa is a new to me author and she will not be a stranger. I love a paranormal read with the best of them and when one of my trusted reader friends recommended this one, I had to dive in. I am not a huge paranormal reader, I leave that side of the blog to my mum, but sometimes I get the itch that I need to scratch. “‘Bargainer, I would like to make a deal.’”
