Half-Fae Elessia could have had everything. Literally.

Since her magic allows her to compel anyone to do her bidding by merely looking into their eyes, the world was at her feet. But after a tragic accident, she is thrown into the Fae king's dungeons and forced to swear a blood oath to him, binding her to his service.

Five years later, she's living amongst humans in Ellow and has created a life for herself—as much as she can with the king's promise to call in his debt looming over her.

When he finally comes to collect, she is made to infiltrate the human elections to determine whether the current regent is involved in the strange things happening in the land of Fae.

With the promise of freedom from the king's claws, Elessia is determined to see it through. Liberty is within reach as long as she can keep the lethal Fae guard watching over her from eliminating her before she unearths the information the king seeks.

But as she grows closer to the brooding human regent and secrets begin to unravel, Elessia realizes greater forces may be at play. And she might stand before the choice between her own freedom and that of a nation.

Loved every second. Hard to put down. Twists and turns. Slow burn. Can’t wait for book 2!

Amazing!

I had to keep switching between the audiobook and ebook because I did not want to stop reading.

The mystery is what pulled me in the most. There’s a lot we still don’t know, and I like that the story doesn’t give everything away upfront. There’s one big identity reveal, but even that only raised more questions. Other characters are clearly hiding things too, and I’m looking forward to seeing how that plays out in the rest of the series.

The love triangle was surprisingly well done. Both love interests felt like real options, and for most of the book I couldn’t pick a side. Now I’m leaning towards one in particular but I don’t doubt that I might find myself switching sides as it’s not super obvious who the fmc is going to end up with, While this one is minimally spicy (only one scene that is close to the end) there’s plenty of tension to keep it interesting.

The narrator was a great fit—easy to listen to and matched the tone of the story well.

A slow burn that actually slow burns

So good!!!

This book had so much potential but did not follow through. From the start, the plot was very hard to follow and the writing was all over the place. The love interest was very hard to follow and I’m not sure who it really is. Would not recommend.

Was not as good as it was portrayed.

I expect more, but it was still pretty good. I was told this would "scratch a TOG itch", and while it was kinda in the realm, it was like TOG lite. i feel like though it was good, I wanted more from it. the fmc felt a bit weak and I wanted so much more from her. I'm hoping to see that in the next one. I didn't realize that the next one wasn't out yet sooooo that suuucks 😣 but hopefully once it does come out, I'll still remember enough form this one to continue on 😅

ps. I literally don't trust anyone in this book.

hmm

Unfortunately I don’t think this book was for me.

The story was a bit too slow, and the chemistry between the main characters just wasn’t there for me. Honestly, it could’ve gone with any of three guys and I actually liked one of the others more. The plot had some fun twists towards the end, but not quite enough to keep me going with the series. Narration was great though!

Interesting premise, missing spark
