I’ve always been a fan of fairy tale re-telling, especially those that take the premise and make it into their own. I also enjoy those with HEA couples that are interconnected through out the book universe.
This author surpassed my expectations and had me questioning myself and what I was reading until the end, which then they added another delicious twist.
While it starts out like a lot of the Fae tropes of Princess with forbidden magic makes a trade with the big, bad fae, in return for protecting their kingdom, this one goes deeper.
Secrets are hidden in the shadows, multiple worlds are present, and maybe, those closest to you are the ones you need to be afraid of.
Spice: 1.5/5
Why Choose
Triggers: Animal death, Alcoholic father, parental loss
