After I received this book I realized it was the third book in a series.  I got the other two books on eBay and read the first two before reading this one.  I'm glad I did.  The first two books built up the horror of what pixies were capable of and the depth of love between Nick and Zara.  Zara, who's name means Princess, didn't know she was half pixie and half human.  She didn't even know that pixies existed until she was sent to live with her grandmother after her stepfather had died. Zara tried to adjust to the cold climate, a new high school, dealing with the sorrow from her stepfather's death, and a strange man who kept following her.  Adolescent boys began disappearing in the area and Zara discovered that this had happened before and no one knew why it was happening again.

Nick and Zara fall in love and Nick finally tells Zara the secret of Bedford.  There are Pixies and Weres living there and the Pixies are the bad guys who are responsible for kidnapping the boys.  The Pixie King is trying to capture Zara because he needs a Pixie Queen to keep him strong and keep his pixies in check.  Apparently, without a Queen, a Pixie King loses control of his Pixies and they begin to run wild and kill innocents.  Also, other Pixie Kings will know his kingdom is in turmoil and will try to take over his territory.  Nick tells Zara that he is a werewolf, an alpha, who needs to protect Bedford and Zara from the Pixies.

Fast forward to Entice, the third book.  Here we have Zara, who has made the ultimate sacrifice by voluntarily accepting a Pixie King's kiss.  This has made her the Pixie Queen and has changed her biologically.  Now she has the powers that the pixies have: extra strength, hearing, smelling, blue skin, sharp pointy teeth.  All of her friends and family have a hard time accepting that the change was only external, that she was not going to turn into a monster who kills for fun.  Zara is also afraid of that even though the Pixie King has constantly told her all Pixies are not alike.  In Zara's mind, she had no option because she had to travel to Valhalla to save Nick who had been mortally wounded in book 2.  Only a Pixie queen or king could do it.  The Pixie King, Astley, who converted Zara, is very noble and mature compared to Zara.  I found myself liking him more than Zara.  He promises to help Zara get to Valhalla even though that means she will be a Pixie Queen in name only, since her love for Nick will stop her from completing the bond with Astley.  I believe Astley is in love with Zara and he is willing to wait for her to come to him.  The whole of the story revolves around Zara and Astley trying to find Valhalla and being thwarted by someone.  After losing some friends to treachery they finally find the correct way to Valhalla and Zara makes the trip there to save Nick and bring him back to help the battle against the Pixies in Bedford.
