A Thorn in Every Heart by Kate King

3.5

What if Belle never returned to the enchanted castle? After her cheating husband ruins her life, twenty-nine-year-old musician, Alixandria Knight, moves from Chicago to Ironhill, Pennsylvania—a near-abandoned Appalachian ghost town with a firey history. Officially, she’s there to help her aging grandmother. Unofficially, Alix just wants to escape reality. She’ll get her wish. When a one night stand with a wickedly handsome stranger turns out to be more than she bargained for, Alix is whisked away to the land of the fae. There, she uncovers her family’s darkest secret: sixty years ago, Alix’s grandmother, Isabelle, broke her promise to marry a beastly king. Now, the fae are hungry, and it’s up to Alix to clear her family’s debt.

Thoughts

This was a super cute idea of a story and it was fun to read. It was a little too on the nose, maybe that was the point, but it was a little too soft and very predictable. It felt like reading a golden books fairytale written for mature audiences only. I still enjoyed it and will probably read the next book in the series.
