Curse of the Gianes by A.M. Riley

Maeebsef and O'Grady are living together but the faerie is getting worse everyday. Maeebsef needs to feed on sex with human and O'Grady is no more able to satisfy him. But then arrives Lyre, another of the Gianes that maybe can help Maeebsef. And Lyre, searching for Maeebsef, meets Seamus Brady, a gay cop who resembles a lot to Joseph, the lost lover of Lyre.

Another tale where magic mix with real world and where love is a vital force for the fey world. This story is centered on Seamus, on his quest to find the true love in the human world, but maybe he has to search among the faeries. Seamus is a cop but he is not tought and rough like the NYPD cops we are used to read. He is a lonely soul who has gripped the love where he can find it, even if it's not true love. And now he clings to a new possible lover, even if this one slips away after every encounter.

Once upon a time Lyre has loved and lost, and now he fears to love again. He is not the classical fairie, he is not lithe and ethereal like Maeebsef, but even if his body is stronger, his soul is scarred and, in the end, the weaker in body Seamus, will be the stronger in soul.

The story is a little more complicated then his prequel "Of the Clan O'Grady" and I strongly reccomend to read them in order: even if Maeebsef and O'Grady are supporting characters in this sequel, you can't fully understand the whole meaning of it if you have not prepared yourself with the previous book.

Wow, this series sounds good--I can't believe I haven't read any of AM Riley's books yet! I'll have to check them out. ♥

I noticed that only The Golden Lotus was on the TBR list. Not the longer Phaze works?

Yes Anne, is very good. I think you'd like it, it's all about the old irish myths and setting in the modern New York. Elisa

My waiting reading list is a mix of "have and want". Of you I have also "My Sun and Stars": sometime, if the book is very long (like in this case) I take it apart for when I have a long break. But I will insert it in my WRL. Elisa
