the way that i blew through this y'all!

i haven't read The Selection, but from what i understand it's basically that but *make it fae*

when i picked it up i wasn't sure how much i'd like it, but i was cackling so much at the first few pages alone i got immediately sucked in. the FMC Ava is spunky and hilarious, the prince Torin is actually a pretty standup MMC, and the competition is fierce. while there are tons of laughs, there's also danger and mystery (with a touch of violence). the buildup and chemistry between Ava and Torin is everythinggggg i was literally screaming NOW KISS at my kindle.

i could see the reveal/twist coming most of the book, but i still enjoyed it.

i'm immediately sprinting to book 2.

5.0

This is an urban and high fantasy setting crossover with elements from The Selection beautifully woven in. They also incorporate the vicious fae setting masterfully but keep it restrained enough that there isn't blood and gore and dismemberment at every turn. The ending was a little predictable but I am still excited to see where they go with the story in book 2. There are several sexual-ish scenes/fantasies but nothing overly done.
