Immersive world building, fun characters, and a thick plot. Hot guys, secret nights in hidden areas, the tension.. Yeah this was a nail biter, edge-of-the-seat kind of book, and I LOVED it. 

The last 50 pages of this book really got me raging, but I kept reminding myself it’s the first book in a five book series so.. 

To the next book!

While I did enjoy this audiobook I had so many thoughts and questions. For the FMC who is highly feared, trained and high ranking, why can she not defend herself, kill Mr.rapist throughout that whole year, or come to conclusions on her own. Why give her all this training if she's not going to use it? 

I don't typically mind things being predictable but the fact that she didn't realize she was

fae, or that Sorin was the prince, or that Mr.Rapist had som thing to do with the kids disappearing

was maddening. She is so observant and at the same time, not at all observant.
