I complerely devoured this book. It took me less than 24 hours to read it, and it's not the shortest book. I IMMEDIATELY started the next one, and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon. This series is post-apocalyptic, dark fae romance, with a splash of Russian Mafia. This series is set in post apocalpytic Hungary and Romania with mentions of other places.

Brexley is being tossed from one power player to another without anyone really telling her why. At the beginning of this book, she's the prisoner of the Fae King of Romania, Killian, and she learns from him all the evil deeds that her adoptive father had been doing behind her back. She realizes that her adoptive father had been raising her and her friends from a young age to hate fae on sight without knowing who's side they're on. 

After she's out of Killian's hold, she finds a couple different rebellion groups in the slums. Or rather, they find her. Everyone seems to want her for what she is and not tell her what she is.

I'm already part way though the next one. I couldn't stop. The more I read this series the more Mad Max vibes its giving me.
