The King's Fate by Rissa Blakeley
5.0
This author sure has a way of writing books that stick with you.
This was a little out of my usual realm. I haven't read many books about Fae/ Incubus/ Succubi, but I didn't let that stop me. The concepts of dream-walking and the abilities of the Fae were so intriguing. There are so many layers to the plot. It starts of with Leolin (Fae) planning to overthrow the Vampire king. Leolin dream-walks, impregnating a Vampire with the intent of creating a powerful half-breed. But when his wife is killed, things become twisted. He then gets into the dreams of both his son, Monty, and the king, Zachariah, influencing them to be attracted to each other, so he can then later rip them apart and break the King's heart. FREAKY, right? So even though the plot gets complicated, it's easy enough to follow and keep you interested. The jumps through time are well placed to keep the story flowing (it ends up spanning centuries, so it's necessary). The sex is pretty hot, and their affection is powerful. The end is a bit abrupt, but it leaves you begging for more. I can't wait to read the next part of the story.
I was a beta-reader on this story before publication. Some things may change slightly upon the final draft.
