The vampire prince has never claimed a human. Until now. My whole life I’ve been nothing but a means to an end; livestock kept caged for the production of blood. I’ve stared through fences at the promise of freedom countless times, but the only way anyone escapes this hell is in the hands of a bloodsucker.

I have never been favored by the gods. Far from it, thanks to Zeus. Living as a cursed office clerk for the Order of Thieves, I just keep my head down and hope the capricious beings who rule from Olympus won’t notice me. Not an easy feat, given San Francisco is Zeus’ patron city, but I make do. I survive. Until the night I tangle with a different god. The worst god. Hades. For the first time ever, the ruthless, mercurial King of the Underworld has entered the Crucible—the deadly contest the gods hold to determine a new ruler to sit on the throne of Olympus.

Prince Norivun’s massive black wings and potent magic cloud my senses and steal my breath. He’s beautiful yet brutal, so when he whisks me away and locks me in his castle I’m certain my death is tomorrow’s promise.

Story
After my ex-boyfriend makes me the target of a cruel online hate campaign, I know I have to get away. The last thing I expect on my trip to Sweden is a moose standing in the middle of the road—or the mysterious, bearded ranger who pulls me from my wrecked car. Now, a storm's brewing, and I'm being carried into a secluded mountain cabin by a Nordic God rippling with muscle. Inside, I'm greeted by three ridiculously hot Swedish mountain men.

Story
Charlie Hall has never found a lock she couldn’t pick, a book she couldn’t steal, or a bad decision she wouldn’t make. She's spent half her life working for gloamists, magicians who manipulate shadows to peer into locked rooms, strangle people in their beds, or worse. Gloamists guard their secrets greedily, creating an underground economy of grimoires. And to rob their fellow magicians, they need Charlie Hall.

Wyatt Westlock has one plan for the farmhouse she's just inherited—to burn it to the ground. But during her final walkthrough of her childhood home, she makes a shocking discovery in the basement—Peter, the boy she once considered her best friend, strung up in chains and left for dead. Unbeknownst to Wyatt, Peter has suffered hundreds of ritualistic deaths on her family's property. Semi-immortal, Peter never remains dead for long, but he can't really live, either. Not while he's bound to the farm, locked in a cycle of grisly deaths and painful rebirths.

Story
Fae games will change you . . . but their love will ruin you. At least, that's what my mother told me. My mother had three rules: 1. Never make a bargain with a fairy. 2. Never enter the Waywoods on a hunting day. 3. Never give the High Fae princes a reason to notice you. But even when I followed all the rules, the royal fae still took my family from me. So in one night I broke all three rules, and brought the kingdom to their knees.

Did not like narrator :(
Did not like narrator :( ruined the story for me. Felt disconnected and I had a hard time listening. Made it feel like a completely different author.

Enter the Darker Side of Faery Stories
Morally gray cast of characters that will steal your heart or make you add more Iron into your life to protect it. Such is the nature of darker faery stories.
“whatever you love, that is your weakness”
Kaye and Roiben are back to being the focal point of the story again. Roiben is about to be coronated as the King of the Unseelie court. This isn't something he ever wanted but he will do his duty to keep the few he cares about safe. At least that is what he was trying to do until Kaye ruined all of his plans to keep her out of the line of fire in an upcoming war.
With some bad alcohol consuming decisions Kaye has ended up on an impossible quest for the new Unseelie King and will not be able to see him again until the quest is complete. Roiben's goal was to keep her out of the mess he is in, especially since he is not sure he will survive it.
“He had known only two rulers, both great and neither good. He did not know how to be any kind of King nor how to win, other than to be even more ruthless than they."
Kaye on the other had ends up in the middle of everything accidentally. The Seelie Queen will use her if she can against Rioben.
I enjoyed this book the most of the series. She Kaye is a bit impetuous and makes some increasingly bad decisions, but she is overall likeable. No matter what she will try to protect Rioben, even if her place in his life is unclear. With the help of Corny they will find a way to get out of all the trouble Kaye has gotten herself into.
I liked seeing some of the characters from Valiant again too. Luis tries to help Kaye and Corny, but we also get a few cameo's from some of the other main characters from the last book.
The conclusion to this series is one I found fitting and satisfying. It wasn't all cherry blossoms and softness, but had just enough jagged edges to make it seem all the more real and a fitting conclusion to a story in the Fae realm.
Narration
While not perfect, I got confused on who was talking some of the time, this is a solid performance by Lauryn Allman. I was able to listen at my usual 1.5x speed.
Performance: ★★★★
Character Separation: ★★★
Diction: ★★★
Pacing/Flow: ★★★★
Sound Effects: limited at the introduction

Good audiobook narration.

La trama/Thé plot
La trama estuvo excelente, pero la interpretación a veces confundía los acentos de los personajes.
