Between Dawn and Dusk Box Set: The Fae King's Curse, The Fae King's Dream, and The Fae King's Prize by Jamie Schlosser

5.0

The Fae King's Curse (5/5):
Well, it’s official. I love Jamie Schlosser, no matter what genre she writes.

The Fae King’s Curse felt epic. It had so much going for it: immersive world building, interesting side characters, sweet and honest romance, witty dialogue, and vivid characterizations.

This was a slow burn, which isn’t unexpected when Kirian lives one year in his world compared to one day in Quinn’s. In fact, that’s one of the best parts of this story – Kirian essentially has two thousand years of getting to know and falling in love with Quinn.

The fae world and curse were interesting and added to the story without taking anything away from what’s most important – the relationship and romance of Quinn and Kirian.

Absolutely captivating and words can’t express how wonderful The Fae King’s Curse is.

The Fae King's Dream (5/5):
The Fae King’s Dream is the second in the Between Dawn and Dusk series and it focuses on one of my favorite things: fated mates. Having one person out there that is perfectly made for you? That’s the stuff of dreams.

And speaking of dreams, our main character Damon is a dream walker. That’s the only time he can see, as he’s been blind since birth due due to the witch’s curse (just like our buddy Kirian in book #1!). His parents are in the human realm searching for his mate, and they’ve found her…in critically condition in a coma. That’s where Damon and Whitney first meet, since a coma can be a form of sleep.

Once they are reunited and Whitney is on the mend, magic and suspense just keep happening. One thing I loved about this book was the lack of romantic angst. Once Damon and Whitney meet there is no question who they are to one another. While it’s not exactly smooth sailing (I legit cried at one point!), it’s satisfying to have a couple so into the other without it being overbearing and boring.

Loved revisiting Quinn and Kirian and the insight into Zander. Between Dawn and Dusk is a series I’ll be coming back to in the future.

The Fae King's Prize (5/5):
I adore this series. Every book has held up on it’s own.

Maelyn is kidnapped and wakes up in another world, planning to be sold on the auction block as a slave. King Zander is there, attempting to infiltrate and shut down the abductions. He hears Maelyn’s voice and immediately recognizes her as his fated mate. But Maelyn doesn’t feel the same and Zander is the “shocked Pikachu” meme.

Even after Zander tricks Mae into staying with him, he has to woo her the old-fashioned way. The relationship between the two is very sweet and adorable. It was more of a slow burn, but I appreciated that the two got to know each other and let their feelings grow before anything steamy happened.

Fun, exciting, angtsy, and magical, The Fae King’s Prize was a wonderful end to the trilogy. It was a great mix of action and romance and I couldn’t get enough of it. Jamie Schlosser has a wonderful way with words and I will read anything she publishes.

The Fae King's Curse Extended Epilogue (5/5):
These six little chapters were an adorable addition to The Fae King’s Curse. Quinn and Kirian have come back to the human world to see her parents on Thanksgiving. While only a few months have passed in that realm, it’s been nearly a century in the Fae realm.

It was short and sweet, and the interactions between Quinn and her parents were both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. It was a lovely read to end the box set.
