Lovers of fantasy novels! Lovers of novels with Fae! Lovers of novels with magic, thrills, romance, danger, and twists...GRAB THIS BOOK!!!! Do it now!!! Go grab it and come right back! I'll wait. I promise.

Okay. Are you back?! Did you get your copy?! Are you excited to start reading this book?! Please say yes! Say yes to all of the above! Because this book is going to have you SCREAMING!!! SCREAMING I TELL YOU!!! Your jaw is going to be on the floor, you're going to be kicking with delight, and you are going to be swooning!!!

Now, I know what you're thinking, especially if you've read quite a few of my reviews, "you say this about almost every book you review." Eh, true. To an extent! LOL! But I am NOT overselling this book. The first page gripped me and had me hunching over (yes, bad posture, bad for my back - zip it!) to find out what happens next. I DEVOURED this book! It caught me off guard and I was literally like...what happens next?! Eager to learn more?? Keep reading! LOL!

Prepare to meet Arianna. She's a royal Fae, and she is far from home. Worse? She's a slave. Could things get any worse? Yes! She's in hiding. Is there more?? YES!!! Things are literally piled on this girl, AND she's in dangerous territory and she knows it. The author throws everything except for the kitchen sink at her. It's crazy! But you won't find me complaining and I know you won't be either! You're going to be drooling over this book as the author takes you deeper into Arianna's story.

Wondering if this story focuses solely on her? NOPE! Feel free to squeal excitedly. LOL! This story gives you multiple POVs. You get Arianna, Talon, and Rion. I loved it! I especially loved Rion's chapters. You're going to love getting to know "the Demon" so much because he is such a complex character. The author, piece by piece, reveals why he is the way that he is. This is not a path that he got on by choice. That's all I say so that hopefully I'm not revealing any spoilers. LOL!

One of my favorite aspects is the slowly blooming romance between the characters. It's tentative, sweet, and a bit shy. It will have you swooning (yes, cue romantic sighs in the correct places). I was literally like - (le sigh) How romantic!!! LOL! I loved it and I know you will, too. Slow-burn romances are the best because they are also so sweet. You get a nice amount of development before things get hot and heavy. Bring on the heat!!

Another favorite aspect of this book for me is when the author ties the title of the story in. I literally screamed "OHHH MY GOOOOOOSSSHHH!!!!" Believe me, when author's tie the title into the story itself and make the dots connect and it all makes sense - I am officially a fan, and will be devouring everything you write from there. LOL! It's great!

This book is so good and the back and forth between the characters will hold you in it's grip to the very end. You won't be putting this book down until the last page has been turned. After that? You'll be clawing for more. Good news? Book two is coming! How soon? Ummm...not sure. But I'm sure it will be soon! Just go follow the author on Amazon and I'm sure you'll get a notification. LOL! But I know you're going to feel. I NEEEEEDDD MOOOOREEE!!!! What happens next?!

If you need me? I'm going to be over there...in a corner...holding my NuNu, hoping for the next book sooner rather than later. LOL! This book is one of those that really stick with you long after it's done. So good, and yet so devastating at the same time. LOL! A surprise contender for my collection of top 10 favorites of the year.

For me, this book earns it's 5 out of 5 stars. I devoured this book and loved every second of it. Arianna is such an interesting character, but Rion matches her just as much. They are perfect for each other. Prepare for complicated, sticky, and tons of drama, but you will love this book.

Thank you to the author, J.E. Reed, and R&R Book Tours for the opportunity to read and review this book. I really hope we cross paths again soon for book two!

Publication Date: December 6th, 2022

Genre: Romantic Fantasy/ Fae

From multi-award-winning author J.E. Reed comes a breathtaking new series full of love and survival.

A queen in hiding. Two countries at war.

When eighteen-year-old Arianna is stolen from her family and sold into slavery, she spends months disguised as a half-breed Fae struggling against the devastations of a decade-long war. But she never expected to find herself at the mercy of her country’s greatest enemy.

General Rion is ruthless and commanding. He relishes in his reputation as The Demon-a vile creature incapable of love or compassion. With a secret no one can know, Arianna strives to placate him while plotting her escape, but sometimes fate has other plans and rumors can’t always be trusted.
