Ladies And Gentlefae welcome to my book review. From the start of this book I was hooked. 

Leyanna, Dru and Opal are faeries from the Shaede Court working at Espresso Yourself in the “human realm” .. you are automatically transported to that cafe with Jenny’s writing. I’m always drawn to names, Leyanna by far is one of my favorites. 

Opal is a strong FMC. You fall in love with her, you want to feel sorry for her not gaining a Shaede. Then the story all ties together with that OH moment 🤯 and your mind gets blown YET AGAIN! Mind you, this is only 50% of the book!! 

Shaede Court, there are no king and queens. They’re species divided by color, which is called Shaede. 

No Shaede: Natural- posses common faerie magic, but limited in their power.

Opal, hasn’t gotten her Shaede. 

 Farris, he has me intrigued since you first meet him. Daily coffee drinker and regular at Opals job. Learning of Farris’ backstory.. tears. 

Opal and Farris’ meet-cute at the library was when I knew I fell in love with this book. You can sense the tension between the two. 

And the plot be plotting in this book. I don’t want to say much to give anything away, but jaw on the floor moment happened at the Shaede Court with the Night Court.  

  

Then we meet Edmyn. Prince of the Night Court. 

“Not everything that is dark is meant to be menacing”

Edmyn is a red flag who you shouldn’t like, but oh lord I think I’m colorblind bc why do I see green? 🥵

Even with his nickname for Opal, Little Prism. I do love an Enemies To Lovers trope. Yeaaaa friends to lovers, cute, great BUT enemies. Yes please.
