I was very skeptical at the start of this book, I think there were some grammatical errors and the writing seemed very simple.
I was presently surprised as when you get past the first few chapters you enter a magical world and an incredibly exciting story with a heroine who is brave, strong, creative and able to be all those things at once without being dependent on a man.
The gradual realisation that SJM is highlighting toxic relationships through this story hit my like a rock by the end of the book and made me promptly want to re-read it. Could not belive how blind I was to it the first time!

I live, breathe and die for SJM Faerie Smut/Emotional Destruction 

Renewed my love of reading.

I absolutely loved this series. I grew up as a reader. I spent my entire life with my nose in a book. But over the past few years I've had a hard time finding something I love. This series changed that. It helped me fall in love with reading again. I couldn't put it down. Can't wait for book 6.

Initially reading the first book I thought..."what the hell is this?"
3/4 of the way in, I couldn't put it down until I realised I had read the whole series.

My love affair with SJM has been going strong ever since and I have now read everything in her catalogue. The love I feel for some of these men is not fair

I loved this series, love, heartwarming, the awaken of abuse. Realizing self love. The support system, a man providing options and setting boundaries, so much more .
It took me several weeks for this world to leave my mind.
