yeah that's it for me. Thankful for making me feel smart for seeing that ending coming, still a bit pissed off with how LONG THIS IS.
It was a fun time tho.

Couldn’t put it down
By far my favorite book of the series!
Abigail and Valroy are just so perfect together in their own ways. I love the character progression for Valroy from book one until now. He started off so hard and broody and now he’s a lovesick romantic. Don’t let those words fool you, he’s still violent and aggressive.
The sex.. 100% chefs kiss!
The plot twist at the end has me starting book four at 0410 in the morning!! How could you Kathryn Kingsley?!?
Overall, a great read from cover to cover.

This book is awful. Honestly I have no idea how I got to book three, I think I was hoping it would get better. Or I was waiting for the sex…either way underwhelming and I was good. If the 2nd book would’ve been spilt between the 1st and 3rd book maybe it would’ve been better? I don’t know but I’m good and I don’t think I’ll finish

“I delight in the suffering of others, for it is why I was made. But I find…I do not delight in yours.”
This isn’t a normal review for me because this isn’t a normal read for me. The above quote from The Unseelie Prince sums up the whole story. I honestly kept expecting the series to be too much and I would have to DFN. However, it gracefully, if not gut-wrenchingly, walked that line and effectively sunk it’s hooks in my heart that I just HAD to know what happens to Abigail and Valroy.
This is an adult, fae, dark, villain romance. DARK. VILLAIN. ROMANCE. Proceed with caution and check for trigger warnings.
If you think you like morally grey love interests, but not sure about straight up villains (who will never, ever change), then skip it. If you don’t like your fae stories to be tricky, inhuman, lascivious, and cruel, then skip it. If you don’t like power struggles or spice, skip it. It is a slow burn and honestly still a 3-3.5 on the spice scale, but it’s the whole relationship that pushes boundaries of ‘human morality.’ Cause, y’ know, it’s fantasy and you can do that.
However, if you like all these things then dive right in. The fantasy writing is good and you get pulled into the story easily. It’s not heavy handed with language, lore, or details. I love a good fae story, especially when the fae aren’t all happy and helpful. But feminist me was uncomfortable. However, Abigail’s character fit the timeframe and the fae setting. A little more acknowledgement of consent would have been helpful considering that it was meant to be understood. Other than that, I can say I liked it. I probably won’t reread, but it was a fun, bingeable, dark read.
