Can't get enough!
This story is so heartbreaking and intriguing. How much more can Penny take? I'll keep reading until the end. Let's see what the next book brings?

Oh my goodness, Penny, a little girl with so much grief, betrayal, and abandonment in her life! She comes from the wrong side of Tanglewood, but she keeps getting caught up with the rich and famous from the good side.
Damon, a character who has been in so many of Skye Warren's books, is having his story told and it's a sinister one. His father is a monster, and Damon once tried to get away from his dreadful father, and then he met Penny.
Such sadness and sorrow in this book, I am feeling emotionally drained from it.
And as usual, I highly recommend this series in it's entirety.

You know that feeling you get when you are so excited you almost tremble. The undiscovered joy and fear when you are about to open a present. Is it something you have been dying for or just something to fill a box? The desperate need to know amps up your excitement so you are on the border of frenzied.
The King makes that feeling your normal. I was dying to know how Penny fit into everything since we first saw her wet body lifeless in Damon's arms in The Castle. The edgy feeling had me on the edge the entire book. Because I want something...I need it to happen.
Yet Skye Warren leaves me on the edge of that feeling questioning if I really want to turn the page...Yes, I really do. You will need to as well. Almost like...an addiction...
Skye Warren is a siren. She uses her words to draw you in. She brings you to places you never would have gone. Her words lure you there with anticipation and a smile on your face. While you are caught up in the web they weave, she locks you into place with invisible chains. Now you can't go but you also can't stay...
You are left in between. Between the wanting and the waiting...for The Queen.

I gave a four star because I am not a huge fan of the repeating from the Endgame trilogy but other than that it was amazing. I loved reading the Penny and Damons back story and where they are now and how the prince became The King and found his Queen. Now on to book #2 The Queen!

Emotional, gripping read.
I knew what was about to happen but had to read on.
You have to face the monster and defeat it before the fairy tale ends.
I ached for Damon and Penny.
Penny was the star of the book. She went through so much as a young girl, I didnt know how she could survive and carry on.
But Penny is strong and determined. She will win your heart and admiration.

Heartbreaking and steamy
This book is dark and full of a pain and hopelessness that really guts you. Hope and the idea of freedom is the only thing keeping Penny afloat, even when her freedom is taken from her.
The writing style immediately draws you in. The characters are complex and broken. All in all, a perfect tragedy.

not one to write a review, however i feel the need to explain my 2 stars. the story was good but i felt that the writing was terrible. it felt all over the place and sometimes hard to follow. the best way to describe it: it needed more
