Brie would do anything before making a deal with the Fae; death is better than their vicious schemes. But when her sister is taken by the sadistic king of the Unseelie court, there is nothing Brie wouldn't do to get her back - including making a deal with the king himself to steal three magical relics from the rival Seelie court. Gaining unfettered access to the Seelie court is easier said than done. Brie's only choice is to pose as a potential bride for the Seelie Prince, Ronan - a prince who's not quite as wicked as she once thought.

When Pestilence comes for Sara Burn’s town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed. Too bad no one told her Pestilence can’t be killed. Now the horseman, very much alive and very pissed off, has taken her prisoner, and he’s eager to make her suffer. Only, the longer she’s with him, the more uncertain she is about his true feelings towards her, and hers towards him. And now, well, Sara might still be able to save the world, but in order to do so, she'll have to sacrifice her heart in the process.

The stories were all wrong—Hook was never the villain. For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they’re gone for only a day, some a week or a month. But they always return broken. Now, on the afternoon of my 18th birthday, my mother is running around the house making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked. But it’s pointless. Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren’t willing to let me go.

Summary
From fan-favorite Scarlett St. Clair, the bestselling author of the Hades & Persephone series, comes a new fantasy filled with danger, darkness, and insatiable romance.
Their union is his revenge.
Isolde de Lara considers her wedding day to be her death day. To end a years-long war, she is to marry vampire king Adrian Aleksandr Vasiliev, and kill him.
But her assassination attempt is thwarted, and Adrian threatens that if Isolde tries to kill him again, he will raise her as the undead. Faced with the possibility of becoming the thing she hates most, Isolde seeks other ways to defy him and survive the brutal vampire court.
Except it isn't the court she fears most—it's Adrian. Despite their undeniable chemistry, she wonders why the king—fierce, savage, merciless—chose her as consort.
The answer will shatter her world.
Contains mature themes.

Very Average
I do not like insta-lust. It just takes all slow out of a burn.
After a very cringy beginning came a not-so-bad middle. For a moment I thought it will be a decent book. But the ending was just underdeveloped.
The whole scene felt rushed and cliché.

One of my most favorite books
Well god damnit that was a fun read. It had a bunch of tropes I enjoyed including one horse, enemies to lovers, found family, morally grey love interest and more. Although I struggled to picture blonde hair for the love interest. Just seemed weird 😂 The main character was excellently written. She is strong, witty, dangerous and owns her sexuality. It was so fun to read from her perspective and not have it be some shy wildflower cowering when shit hit the fan. The amount of stabbing she does is hilarious at times. I cannot wait for the second book to come out! The story has so much potential and is giving me potential throne of glass vibes with the different ways the author could take this, plus the stabbing... I'm sad its over!

Get it!! Best new series I’ve read in a long time!
Here’s what you get from this story- Strong fierce intelligent female main character! Compelling storyline and world building ! Morally grey alpha male who has a heart ! Spicy spicy spicy scenes ! And both male and female OWN their sexuality with no shame. And it’s LGBTQIA+ friendly. I started this book on 1.2 speed ( speed I usually use) but slowed it down because I didn’t want it to end . I’m so ready for the next one!

10/10!!
LOVED this book so much I listened to it again immediately after I finished it the first time. Some of the names are pronounced incorrectly (according to the author) but I kind of prefer it and it’s not a big deal. I love the way Lilly reads for these characters and I think her emphasis on words and phrases conveys Isolde’s and Adrian’s emotions SO well. Can’t wait for the sequel! I also loved the bonus chapter in Adrian’s POV!

Loved the Main Character
Probably one of my favorite female characters. Totally incredible and badass chick. Also the main guy was all that hot alpha man goodies without the box of red flags. They had good chemistry. The storyline could’ve been more exciting. It felt slow and predictable. Still good. Nice world building and different take on vampires, so original in a lot of ways
