Summary
Once, we’d worshipped them as Gods.
For nearly 400 years, the Veil has protected us from the Fae of Alfheimr. In their absence, our lives have shifted from decadence and sin to survival and virtue under the guidance of the New Gods. I’ve spent my entire life tending to the gardens next to the boundary between our worlds, drawn to the shimmering magic like a moth to the flame.
Then, we died on their swords.
All of that changes the day the Veil shatters, unleashing the fae upon our world once again. The magic of faerie marks those of us they mean to take, but the Mist Guard protecting Nothrek will kill us all before they let the fae have us. There’s no choice but to flee everything I’ve ever known, not if I want to live to see my twenty-first birthday as a free woman.
Now, they’ll claim what’s theirs.
But before they capture me, Caelum saves me from the Wild Hunt. Fae-marked and on the run, he is able to fight back in ways I only dream of. From tentative alliance to all-consuming passion, our bond strengthens as the fae close in and evil lurks ever nearer. With my life on the line, he is everything I shouldn’t dare to want and a distraction I can’t afford. I can’t seem to stay away, not even with something greater on the line.
My heart.

Hate the mmc
This is my second go at listening to this book as the first time I didn’t finish it. The male character speaks to the female character like she’s a possession, one of the things the female character hated about the other men in her life yet she’s all for it with this guy. It really annoyed me that she just gave in. I know we find out why at the end but it still didn’t sit right with me. I’ll give the second book a go because it’s part of the plus catalog but I wouldn’t pay for it if it wasn’t.

it's not for you if.. (may contain spoilers)
you don't want to know more than the fmc.
you want strong independent woman.
don't want to feel smarter than the fmc.
okay, i liked the story but after reading the coven this felt like an opposite fmc and where i liked that story of the coven jumped right in, this just keeps building and circling back way to many times.
within 10 minutes of the second storyline (after beginning background building etc). i already knew what was eventually revealed at the very last moments of the book.
i don't like it when the reader is more knowing then the fmc because you don't get blown away by plottwists, you what's coming and it makes me want to scream at the fmc for not seeing what is to obviously.
the fmc keeps relying on the mmc even when she keeps talking about how she doesn't want that.
She is been groomed by a person but sometimes it feels like the mmc is not that different. even when she aknowledges this, she still falls for it..
narriting the fmc or woman was good. but everytime it switched to a male character it felt really robotic.

Okay but not great
Narrator did a good job, but the story itself was very predictable and a little repetitive. Overall it was alright, okay enough to pass the time but I was left not caring enough about any character to want to hear more.

Yeah well… I’d give it another go!
Looking forward to seeing where they go with it… could kinda see the ending a mile off but even so, I’d recommend this book, it gets straight to the point and builds the world as you go along.

Interesting read
I wasn’t sure whether I would like this story at the start…it seemed to be a bit confusing, and the MMC is up and down with being lovable and unlikable…the story overall was a good one though, I will be continuing with the series.

Fab world building and an interesting spin on Fae
Strong FMC. Loveable MMC. Predictable twist, but played out very well, so you were still on the edge of your seat, waiting for the reveal. Good humour. Touch her and die. Excellent world building.

Predictable and uncomfortable at times.
Im a fan of ACOTR and Blood & Ash series so was delighted when this was in the plus catalogue. However in all honestly, had I used a credit on this i would probably have returned it!
The story starts strong but quickly slows to a snail pace with not a lot happening for more than half the book. The characters are unlikeable, particularly the leading male who is actually rather abusive to the point the sex scenes are uncomfortable to listen to. The twist is so predictable that I started getting frustrated at the main
