4.5

Here are a few of my favorite things:
  • “No one can touch her but me”
  • Food sharing
    (and jealousy over others food sharing)
  • Smelling arousal
  • Biting during sexy times
  • Fated mates 
  • “I’ve tried resisting you…. But I want you too much”


Did it have all of those tropes and more?
Yes, yes, and yes!

Did my toes curl as the tension between the main love interests built? 
Absolutely.

Was the fact that Saeris and Kingfisher are mates at all a surprise?
Oh, absolutely not.


Is this the best, most original book I’ve ever read?
No.

Did I thoroughly enjoy it and am I eager for the next?
Of course!

Quicksilver has all the elements that make for a great romantasy. A sassy MC. A brooding heartthrob of a love interest. A good amount of spice. Fae. A magical world on the brick of destruction. 

I really enjoyed Saeris being a blacksmith, and appreciate that the author gave her a reason to be good with a sword rather than just making her a badass.

Kingfisher took a bit to grow on me. Honestly, I’m not entirely sure I understand his personality.

Carrion Swift absolutely stole the show for me. When it showed up, I didn’t know what to expect, and he blew me away every time. I just love the banter and friendship between him and Saeris. I can’t wait to see how he develops.
