Fae in the roaring 20s is such an amazing concept and the world building was fascinating. Unfortunately MMC was such a controlling manipulative asshole I barely finished the book and won’t be reading the next
This book was so addictive!!!
I was hooked from the first page. This book has such a vibe. We get the roaring 20’s mixed with fantasy. I feel like this is such a unique time setting for a romantasy book with fae.
The writing was excellent.
• Fantastic world building and magic system
• I loved Addie. She is starts as a naive 1920’s farm girl that lived a sheltered life, she feels like such a realistic character and we see her progress and become stronger throughout the story
• I loved the characters. I always love a “found family” in a book series.
• Fated Mates but different
• Action packed!!
• Plot twists I absolutely did not see coming! This book has so many twists
I loved this. I honestly didn’t know where the story was going to lead but I couldn’t put this down. I preordered the next book and I’m highly anticipating it. I know I’m going to have such a book hangover now.

The Prince of Prohibition is one of those stories you read and you vividly picture the whole thing. It is such a beautiful unique story that blends peaky blinders and ACOMAF.
It’s such a unique word that seems totally plausible. Main characters are wonderful, side characters are also interesting. The whole story line kept me guessing as it’s unique.

Absolutely spell-binding. Everything that makes ACOMAF wonderful combined with the imagery of The Great Gatsby. I am obsessed. Adeline is such a likable FMC and I love each member of the Band of Banished (especially Violet. She is a badass B.) Cannot wait for book 2
The Prince of Prohibition is the first book in the Fae of the Roaring Age series. This is also Marilyn Mark's debut series. The fact that it's set in the Roaring 20's ANNND PNR, I just had to read it. I am such a sucker for historical romance and this book was absolutely fantastic!! It was a bit slower at times but I'm definitely hooked!!!
I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this book. While it took me a little bit to get into it, the ending was completely worth it.
The world building was quite well done. I loved that it took place in the 1920s, definitely something that caught my eye right away when reading the synopsis. The world building is fairly extensive and I did enjoy all the details that were provided. It is a bit of a longer book so keep that in mind.
I also enjoyed the characters and I found each character unique and memorable. The FMC wasn’t really my favorite, but thankfully the other characters made up for it.
The ending surprised me with how much I liked it, and I’m looking forward to seeing the next book in the series and what this author comes up with next.

This book has quite an interesting concept, and it is one that I enjoyed. There were a few things that I was confused about, and others that I thought just didn't fit.
1) I was confused as to why the Tarot cards were relevant to the story. At one point, the MC, Adeline, gets her fortune read, and it is told in Tarot. Obviously, this point may have to do with the fact that the story takes place in the 1920s when they may have been obsessed with this art, but it wasn't clear to me.
2) It is said multiple times that both Jack and Violet have a power/affinity to do with poison, but it also says that it has to do with their anatomy. This is extremely confusing because I can't tell if it is a part of them that is poisonous or all of them.
3) The ending. I loved the secret that was revealed at the end of the novel, but the events leading up to it were a little confusing. The "transformation" that takes place seems out of place.
3/5.

DNF. It was mildly interesting but about a fifth of the way in I just wasn't that invested.
