Viciously Yours by Jamie Applegate Hunter
4.0
**4-Star Review for "Viciously Yours"**
"Viciously Yours" is exactly what it promises to be: a fun, silly, sexy fae romantasy that's perfect for a quick, entertaining read between denser books. This book is full of beloved tropes like fated mates, a possessive hero, familiars, secret identities, and more. I found myself laughing out loud at times and breezing through the pages.
Is it a literary masterpiece? Not even close.
Is it life-changing? Also No.
Did I devour it anyway? Absolutely.
The story centers on Rennick and Amelia's fated relationship in a fantasy setting. Rennick is ruthless in protecting his mate and ensuring nothing comes between them. Amelia is a great counterpart, making them both engaging main characters. Even though Rennick is a bit unhinged, it adds to his appeal. I appreciated that the story is told in third person from both perspectives rather than just from the female's viewpoint.
Despite its smutty nature, the book has a surprisingly cozy feel, and the author manages to make it work beautifully. The fae characters are particularly well-crafted, with an intriguing hierarchy and magic system that add a special charm to the story. And the epilogue? Absolutely adorable!
The buildup to Rennick and Amelia’s meeting was executed perfectly, with letters and plot twists keeping me hooked. Some readers might be disappointed if they're expecting a fantasy masterpiece, but the book clearly states upfront that it's meant to be a fun read. For what it is, "Viciously Yours" delivers wonderfully, and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it.
