In this third installment, events are taking up speed and everything is so much more complicated! Ford is still missing, he went away to try and break his curse so he can be with Kerrigan. Marsh continues on his purpose to marry Kerrigan and gain power. Kerrigan learns more, can do more, is more powerful, and yet, stays the same humble and great friend she’s always been. Stubborn too!
She’s brave at the same time she’s fearful, she’s determined to manipulate her future so she can be with Ford, who may not be present but is very much present in her heart and her mind and her dreams.
This was a fantastic and very dynamic story, full of action, suspense and passions. I was glued to my Kindle from start to finish, even during my exercises at the treadmill!

I loved this book. I love all these books.
Kerrigan and Ford are so good together. I loved how they found their way back to each other and fought for each other. Their connection will really make you believe in fate.
The red masks wreaking havoc everywhere created a lot of edge of your seat action.
The ending is a terrifying cliff hanger and I am really anxious to see what happens next. It is unfair that the next book isn't for a whole year!!!

I can't even begin to tell you how I excited I was to be thrown back into this world. Oh and what an epic, emotional, thrilling world it is! I am thoroughly invested in this series and finding out what will happen next and K.A. Linde of course killed us with that ending. I can't wait for more! I absolutely the fantasy, the intelligence, the passion in this story. K.A. Linde never fails to deliver the angst and emotion and I am here for it every time. I am still very much in love with these books and I am patiently (not so much) waiting for more!

Wow. K.A. Linde did not disappoint with this one. I’ve never been much of a fantasy reader, but I cannot put these down! I love Kerrigan and Fordham so much; I am will forever be rooting for them. The storytelling is amazing, and the emotions you will feel while reading are so real. You should add this book to your list (but only after reading the first two!), you will not regret it!

I still can't get over that shocking revelation at the end of book 2, but now Kerrigan must go back to her home court, House of Cruse to take up the position of head of household now that she has taken back her title. We learned a lot about the reasons why her father left her at Draco Mountain and the history of her court. But with her taking up the position comes the inevitable, her dreaded betrothal. This third book is action-packed, full of angst, drama, betrayals and ahem, steam that I have come to love and expect from this series. And just when I think that all was revealed, nah, the author has dropped another bomb. Argh! I don't think I can wait until next year for book 4, I need it now!

Cocktails and Books received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.I had been looking forward to this installment of the Royal Houses series and it didn't disappoint. Kerrigan, whether she thought so or not, has proven she's worth all the trouble she gets into. She what the society and the country needs to right the wrongs that were done to the humans and half-fae. This part of the story proves that.
Kerrigan is now a member of the society and very quickly discovers she's been nominated to the council. While she tries to navigate those waters, she's desperate (equally so) to rid herself of Marsh and to find Ford. Her desperation leads to the man she loves and to someone who is going to start unraveling those hard-kept secrets Kerrigan has been trying to figure out.
A lot happens in this book and I don't want to give anything away, but we are starting to understand who all the players are. Our heroine and hero have a lot they are going to have to figure out, but if the determination they've shown so far is any indication, these two will go to the ends of the earth for each other and make things right.

Review: Things heat up in this book and Kerrigan finally steps into her role as a rebellion leader. K.A. Linde delivers a masterpiece in this book and opens the doors for a new uprising as Kerrigan faces off with the Red Coats in an epic battle that shakes the realm.
Kerrigan embraces her half-fae heritage fully in this book and begins to actually learn all of her powers. I loved seeing her begin to harden herself against all the forces trying to cull her strength and found her tenacity a huge draw in. This book also expands on her bond with Ford and I adored how he stood valiantly by Kerrigan’s side and made sure to always bring her up instead of tear her down. One area I found intriguing in this book was the knowledge of finally learning what Kerrigan’s magic is. The soul magic she has and the trainer she finds to teach her drops; so many hints for what is to come that it left me ion edge as she dives deeper into her magic.
This book also adds a few chapters from other’s POV. I found the added POVs to be crucial to the plot since they allow us to see the unrest and events occurring in the human lands and within the rebellion. Ford’s sister also makes a play in this book and I loved her character arc in this story and her attachment to the King of the Wastes. I am anxious to see how their relationship grows in the final few books.
This book is darker than previous books in this series and has a lot of war time scenes that I found exhilarating. K.A. Linde did a wonderful job with developing the tension between Kerrigan, the humans and the Red Coats. I was surprised with the secrets that unfolded surrounding who was in charge of the Red Coats and could not believe how much he was integrated within Kerrigan’s life. I also felt like the fighting and attacks developed at a natural pace and were built up appropriately.
K.A. Linde explores the mate bond between Kerrigan and Ford in this book as well. It is the first book where Kerrigan truly gives into her growing attraction and feelings to Ford. I enjoyed the added spice in this book and the love they each had. I only wish we could get some of Ford’s POV. The ending to this book shocked me and I could not believe the twist at the end and am looking forward to the next chapter of Kerrigan’s story!
Rating: 9/10, a huge cliffhanger for Kerrigan and Ford!
