"This book was great. I feel like Williams really took a new spin on the fairy realm, and the love triangle was really well done. I can't wait for the sequel!" — Kyndall (5 out of 5 stars)
"This book was great. I feel like Williams really took a new spin on the fairy realm, and the love triangle was really well done. I can't wait for the sequel!"
“Williams portrays a realistically shaded faerie realm in economic and magical turmoil.”
“Featuring a gutsy heroine and plenty of fae lore, this urban fantasy debut should appeal to fans of Seanan McGuire’s October Daye novels.”
“Intriguing…Great world-building, layered characters, and a romantic triangle provide hours of top-notch entertainment and build anticipation for the next installment. Be sure to check out this book, you won’t be sorry!”
" I really enjoyed this book, looking forward to the next one. "
" Nothing other to say that I loved it!!! "
" Quick thoughts: Liked the magic and set up, would liked to have see more of the fairy world, called the results of the love triangle the second it appeared. "
" 4 stars. Not bad, but a bit bland. Lacks some hillarity. "
" The heorine is spunky, has an interesting power and has two hunky fae men lusting after her- sign me up for me of this world! "
" First 3/4 of the book were fab, but I struggled with the final part. Wasn't as strong I think. Still, interesting premise and an author I'd pick up again. "
" Blog reco - started out well, but just not that exciting middle to end. A lot of repetitive story line for me. "
