If you’ve been watching the fae male fantasy resurgence and thought “these aren’t the fae” this book is the cure.
A fae lord that acts like a fae lord, tricksy and dark and wild. David Bowie would be proud.
A girl who realizes too late she isn’t invincible and neither are her friends. Out tricking a trickster isn’t as simple as a little wordplay.
This was excruciating in the way you want things to work out and it’s an uphill battle for Moira Jean the whole time. Bless her heart.
