The Goblin Bride by Emma Hamm

3.0

A quick read!
I wanted to read this book as soon I read the title and the blurb. It seemed so interesting and something new and wild to read on.
Humans and Goblins! Both leaving, breathing and having their own space and civilized yet bloodthirsty of each other. Not one species knew the other to be anything other than an animal.
But when it comes to save their kind from extinction, the goblins left with no other choice how to save their race in the future with their females number so scrace and near to death. Or maybe they haven't found all that they searched for before.
Then Jane, a human from above world suddenly left with the responsibility of both her siblings.is forced to work in the mines with other men while pretending to be a man as no woman can work in there
When a sudden accident in the mines brings Jane face to face with the creature she had only heard of and whom all the humans feared and then being abducted by them to the Below, to the world of goblins. But what she finds in the world Below, she could never have imagined.
A bargain. A bondage for life.
Will the goblins finally find a way to save them all from extinction? Or will Jane help them; the goblin species and to understand them as different from the animals she thought before of?

This book was short and took me less time to finish it. I liked the plot and story before I started reading it. But what I found was even better than what I thought. There were sometime when I was really annoyed with if all though. The story starts off with a good pace then it gets kinda slow in the middle with Jane's getting comfort with the surroundings and all. And her character also annoyed me a lot. I liked Ruric though, but still he proved to disappoint me further towards the end.
But even with all that the story got it's pace back after sometime and as it was a really short book I didn't mind it much. However the ending is one I had not really hoped for and now I'm a little more excited to read the next book.
Hope it doesn't disappoint me this time!!! I couldn't afford getting into another slump.
