My Thoughts:
First, off I picked this as an add-on book for my Book of the Month box, so I had no idea it was book three of a series. I totally picked it for the cover and description. I think I would have liked it more if I had read the first two books before reading this one.
Jude is a mortal girl married to the fairy king who was exiled from the fairy realm. She has to go back to the fairy realm and pretend to be her sister to tell a lie. Her sister is her twin and is unable to lie in the fairy realm. Jude runs into some trouble in the fairy realm and has to figure out how to get back home all while trying not to let the king know her true feelings.
I enjoyed the story but felt kind of lost though out, that's my fault for not starting with book one. I could go back and read the first two books but this book didn't draw me in enough to want to bother.
