Summary

If life really was a fairy tale, Zakara would never be the damsel in distress. She'd be a thief, and Prince Charming wouldn't have a clue how to steal the heart of the conniving criminal. Zakara saves not one, but three men locked inside the tallest tower. Her first instinct is to ditch them as soon as possible, but they have one thing that intrigues her more than wealth: Magic. 

Fae magic once ruled the world, until it disappeared without a trace. Only myths of the magic wielders linger in their destroyed society. The three prisoners claim to be fae, but she doesn't trust them. She doesn't trust anyone. 

Can Prince Ryder convince the pretty thief to lead them to the Hopeless City? Or will she kill him before they even arrive? Contains mature themes.

Intrigued but not wowed

3.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ & 1🌶️. I did enjoy this short story, it has a lot of potential as a fantasy romance series. I loved the idea of the marks of the fae/ the hopeless and I’m intrigued as to what might happen to our FMC Kara. I did however struggle to get to any sort of character attachment. Even now I still struggle to know which is which. I think the description of them could have been more detailed in that regard. I did however read this via an audiobook so this may have influenced it a little. Overall I probably will continue with the series, and although the book ends of a cliffhanger it’s one I can park for just now so 3.5 stars for book 1 from me!
