Kiss the Fae by Natalia Jaster

5.0

4.5 stars

I'm continuing my unexpected fantasy romance binge with yet another amazing story: Kiss the Fae. This one is the first of what I'm assuming will be a trilogy(?) and it tells the story of three sisters who end up having to fight for their lives against three faerie brothers. In this world, faeries are not kind or pleasant, but instead are known to be vicious and vengeful. Each of the brothers rule a specific element of their land: the air, the forest, and the river.

In Kiss the Fae, the readers are introduced primarily to Lark, the fiesty and "mutinous" heroine, and Cerulean, the devious anti-hero.

Lark is such a badass, strong and independent character. She loves her sisters more than anything and would do anything for their safety. She fights for her life and the lives of her sisters (and adoptive father), and she learns to stay true to herself throughout the story. Based on her point of view, it seems like Lark is very different from her sisters (despite shared traits) and I loved getting to know her, just as I know I'm going to love getting to know Juniper and Cove as well.

Cerulean was a fantastic anti-hero! Right from the moment Cerulean entered the picture, I kept alternating between being shocked by the devious words and sneaky actions of the hero, and smirking at my e-reader because the sexual tension and subtle flirting was steamy! The build-up between Cerulean and Lark was so much fun to witness, and I loved every minute.

Outside of the relationship, it was really intriguing to get to know this story's world: the other faeries, the fauna, the mountain and magic. It was incredibly creative and complex, and I can't wait to see how the rest of the series develops further. Overall, I thought this story was fantastic and I'm looking forward to checking out Jaster's other books soon.
