Realms of Fae and Shadow, by Joanna Reeder, Alison Ingleby, Valia Lind, Clarissa Gosling, Kay L. Moody, Tessonja Odette, Hanna Sandvig, Stacey Trombley

5.0

1) Night Bringer by Stacey Trombley wow what a great start to a series I’m surely doing to pick up ASAP. Caelynns character captured me from the beginning. Her devotion to the Shadow Court is so pure I cannot believe the event that she endured.

2) Heir of Bitter Thorn Kay L Moody Certainly another series I must read. Elora makes a bargain but ended up getting more then she bargained for; isn’t that the way of Fae. I hope to see the growth of and see where her loyalties will lie, does she end up getting back to Faire in time ?

3) Fae Bargains : Clarissa Goslin Evan was hard for me to continue on his story at first. He was so willing to do whatever he could to avoid his duty as heir to the Moonlight Court it was unthinkable. The more I read the more I understood. It may take me a while to continue his story but I am intrigued enough it’s been added to my TBR.

4) To Rule a Fae Throne Tessonja Odette: although this was the shortest in the anthology I was not disappointed one bit. Aspen King of the Autumn Court is force time keep tradition or start a war with a reaping. This was not what I expected for an outcome and I cannot wait to continue.

5) Exiling a Fae Queen Joanna Reeder. This novella took me a while to get into. Twin Female Heirs are set to rule as one. Each with a personality of their own. One must betray the other in order to rule.
It may take me a while to continue their story but I am intrigued enough it’s been added to my TBR.

6) Crown of Darkness Alison Ingleby: what a fascinating story! A mortal and heir to the Unseelie throne. A new take on the Fae and how they rule. It may have taken me a little longer to read then I prefer but I loved the writing style and content that this has also been added to my tbr.

7) Marked by Fae Valia Lind. This was enthralling. I was captured from the beginning. Avery is one of a kind and I can relate in some ways. Her story is extremely fascinating and has just begun. So many new books on my TBR.

8.) The Wolf Gate : Hanna Sandvig. A new take on the Fae realm. Portals connecting the human and Fae realm, I absolutely flew through this novel. Having seen The Rose Gate is a Beauty and the Beast retelling it’s higher up on my TBR then all the rest as I’m very bias with B&B it’s a favorite story of alll time.
