Really enjoyed this one!

I downloaded this on a whim after it came across tiktok and Im glad I did! I really enjoyed the story thus far and Evern is swoon worthy. The spicy scenes were to die for especially the book scene! The ending has me in a chokehold! Can't wait for the next!

Adara (love the name) has been raised to understand that she will one day be traded to the royal fae family who will drink her magic and use it to make themselves powerful because she has some light-ish marks on her face and back. Baby, that sounds like vitiligo. This whole story could have been solved by a dermatology consult. So anyway, she’s taken to the castle and meets Gavril, who seems nice but is obviously a momma’s boy. Meanwhile his half-brother Evren, who is also half vampire and half fae is going around making sexy eyes and saying embarrassing pick-up lines to his soon to be sister-in-law who he is meant to protect. 90% of the book is just him being like “I can make you scream in ways my brother never could”. It’s so gross. He shows almost no regard for her as a person. Then at the end sells her out to his mother the queen of the vampire court that he’s been working for this whole time?!? They all really suck (no pun intended). The only vaguely redeemable character is Jorah and Eletta.

Adara is Starblessed whose blood helps high fae aquire more power by drinking her blood.

She is betrothed to the crown prince, Cavril, who ends up wanting her power more than actually her. His mother, the queen, also wants a taste.

She falls for Evren immediately. The other prince. He is "bad", hot, and has a filthy mouth.

The smut scenes are nice! They get into it pretty quickly.

The storyline is super predictable. It's one of those reads that you know what you are getting - a nice short break from reality - so don't expect to be surprised by anything. I'll continue with this series!

So Adara is the starblessed and she hates Evren until she likes getting dicked down by him and then she's got magic and the book is over...? Okay then.
