"When one makes a faerie bargain, one must be prepared to pay the price. There is one silver lining. I have nothing to lose."
May Bookclub Book 2025
WOWZA!
This was so fun! Definitely brought me back to the days when I was reading the Selection!
I enjoyed all the twist and turns, as well as the different stories intertwined with Ivy's. I thought the different povs to each character really helped move the story along and make relationships more meaningful.
I did think the pacing in the some parts were a little weird, but overall the writing and plot line were good.

I had a great time with this! Loved the dynamic between the girls competing for Bram's hand. The premise of making a bargain with the fae queen when you debut was an interesting and creepy concept, and there was a nice reveal at the end. Just a fun time.

“It seems only determined anti-romantic Ivy Benton was strong enough to scale bleeding-heart Emmett’s thousand-foot-high walls. I don’t even know if she’s realized yet just how devoted he is to her.”
oh my god!! this was so good, the ending?????? This is my first book from Sasha Peyton Smith and i loved every second of it! The plot is so unique and the writing is beautiful, if you're a romantasy girly this is a perfect read.
