Darkest Faerie Tale #2
Deep Into the Abyss
Kidnapped and bound, Mya is stripped of everything. Her soul is left bare, exposed, and raw to the one man who captivated her from the beginning. The only man she can never claim as hers. As he builds the trust between them, he uses her desire for him as a tool to break her down, intensifying her magickal powers.
Soon, the veil of illusion drops between the Seelie and Unseelie Courts while Mya learns about her fate as the only hybrid ever born. As she comes to terms with the brutal truths of her birth, she questions whether she can pick up the broken pieces and unite the two sides of herself. Can she become whole one again?
Living with his actions is a battle Cole faces every day. His scar is a haunting reminder of why he can’t have the one woman he hungers for. He’s the monster who tainted the future Queen of the Unseelies-and he loved every twisted moment of it. But to protect his status as an Elder in the Unseelie Court, he must relinquish the craving to own her. Cole uses whatever means necessary to stay away from Mya, even if it means leaving her and betraying the trust he’s built between them.

Once again Riley Bancroft delivers with Deep into the Abyss. Book two gives a more intimate and deeper view into Mya and Cole’s dark and explosive connection. Not for the faint of heart, the psychological and emotional boundaries Cole pushes Mya to cross are darkly beautiful and erotic. Bancroft is particularly strong with delivering on Mya’s reactions to Cole and putting the reader inside both characters’ heads. The love scenes are brutally hot once again, but the emotion backing it, especially in the cabin scenes, is particularly heartbreaking. Mya loses a level of innocence, a sense of self and potentially her heart as her true powers manifest and she’s faced with losing Cole.
Abyss takes the reader into the vivid world of the Unseelie compound where the rest of Mya’s training is to take place. Mya is introduced to Liam, the Unseelie Elder responsible for her next level of training as she attempts to deal with the reality of her heritage and acclimate to her new environment without Cole. Bancroft has created original and intriguing characters responsible for training Mya to inevitably live up to her birthright. The Unseelie compound scenes are extremely well written in the sense of visual imagery—reminiscent of the fire scene in Tempest in Disguise. Another strong point to Bancroft’s writing is her dialogue; a wonderful example is when Mya takes a night off to go drink. The bar scene introduces the charismatic bartender / Army commander, Drake, who’ll be training Mya in the next phase much to Cole’s dismay. The writing is fast paced, funny and compelling, as it drops the reader smack into the scene with the characters.
Hot commanders, old enemies and catty bitches aside, there’s no breaking the connection between Cole and Mya. Bancroft keeps the reader on edge with plot twits and turns, but always cheering for Cole and Mya to find their way to each other. They are both hard-headed, independent characters with a beautiful, undeniable, weakness for each other. But can their relationship hold up against all odds? Bring on book three!

Still written in 3rd Person POV, it wasn't boring, I like the story flow and the writing style.
The story's promising, but the sex scenes were too long! I want a story, a real story, it was good, it was getting better then they'll go and bang each other.
I like the plot, it's very interesting and I hope to read more about Mya's capabilities, not how hung up she was about Cole who's too scared or who's trying to avoid Mya because he's tainted and shit and not fit to be with a queen and blah blah blah.
Cole's dominating in bed, but his character's kind of... not that strong?
What I don't like about this novel? That it's a cliff! It was getting better and super interesting and it just ended!!! Hopefully the 3rd book is the last book and that it's going to be atleast a 4-hour or better yet, an 8 hour-read novel.
