Of Mist and Shadow by Jenna Wolfhart
5.0
One thing to say: WOW
-I would like to thank Netgalley for the eARC-
When Tessa is caught stealing gemstones from the fae king, his punishment is to take her with him to become his bride, in his city where no mortal is allowed. She could never have imagined how monstruous this place was. With some help, she manages to escape, but only to fall into the hands of the Mist King, an enemy fae responsible for the prison that her village has become. The King takes her captive and offers her a deal to save her people. But can she trust him? Which King is the less lethal one?
I absolutely ADORED this book! From the very first few pages, I was hooked, completely trapped into this amazing world. I loved Tessa's characters, how she will stop at nothing to save the ones she loves. The plot was really intense, full of twists and turns that I never would have seen coming. Since the world the author created was so intriguing and complex, it made the story in itself even more fascinating because Tessa discovered new things about the world she lives in and had to find out what was true or not. It was intense, action packed, unique, and really, really amazing to read. The enemies to lovers romance subplot had me squealing because of how good it was and I just couldn't get enough. Add to that a unique magic system and great characters that were really well fleshed out and you get an absolutely gem of a fantasy book. I cannot wait to read the sequel because that ending just made my heart stop.
I highly recommend if you like adult fantasy with romance and betrayals.
"What he didn't know was that he'd made me more determined than ever."
TW: violence, death, torture, murder, blood, kidnapping, abuse, assault, war, sexually explicit scenes
