The Maleficent Faerie by Rebecca F. Kenney
5.0
“Think twice before you attack, viper.”
“Stop calling me that,” I spit.
I've read a few of Rebecca F Kenney's works and they never cease to amaze me.
The way this author can world build? Amazing. But it never takes away from the story telling, which is something I'm always concerned about in more fantasy leaning books.
This one tells the story we may all be familiar with, but in it's own Villian gets the girl way.
Maleficent is a man, he is the Maleficent one known as Malek. He's dark, broody, but also has a completely different side to him once you get to know him in this book. Not every dark cover is as bad as it seems...
Aurora, or Aura, is the body guard to the princess. She's fae, but she's an odd fae. Nothing quite seems right with her, but as long as she can protect the princess - that's all she's concerned about.
“Sometimes I need to be reminded,” he murmurs.
“Reminded of what?” I whisper.
“That I am enough. Even when I’m not.”
This book touched my heart.
It deals with:
- Mental Health Rep
- Enemies to Lovers
- Fae
- Kind of fated/soul mates ish?
- World Building
- Retelling of The Sleeping Beauty (spindle and all)
- Age Gap, but not as far as you'd think.
- BDSM/FemDom
And the spice, don't forget the spice.
“I hate you for making me crave your admiration, your touch, your glance,” he says, low.
“I hate how my fucking body turns traitor in your presence. I hate the way I’m ravenous for your soft skin, your strength, your passion—I want it enveloping me, swallowing me whole. I hate you because you remind me of my own arrogance and idiocy, of the failings that drove me to speak the curse. I could have found another way, a better way. I was a fool.”
