Gleam (The Plated Prisoner, #3)

by Raven Kennedy

Book 3 of this adult fantasy series continues in this epic story inspired by the myth of King Midas, fae, fated romance, and insurmountable greed.

"I don't choose him. Not anymore. I'm choosing me."

King Midas made me the woman I am today. Notorious. Unattainable. His.

The thing about being confined is that you believe it’s to keep the bad out. ...Until you realize it’s about keeping you in.

I’m now in a strange kingdom surrounded by liars, with no allies of my own, but I won’t sit idly by and let myself wither. No, there’s something that’s bloomed from the pit of my repression. Something dark. Something angry.

But the last thing I expected was for my anger to call out to him. King Ravinger.

He’s sinister and powerful and entirely too seductive. I’ve learned my lesson with trusting manipulative kings, so why does my chest constrict every time he’s near? I need to tread carefully, or I’m at risk of losing much more than just my freedom.

Regret and revenge war inside of me, and I need to figure out a plan fast before I get tangled up in the schemes of kings and queens.

Because I won’t be caught in a cage again. No, this time, it’ll be me setting the trap.
…I just hope my heart comes out of this unscathed.

Please note: This is an adult fantasy series with dark elements that may be triggering, as well as explicit scenes.

Reviews

[Ailyn Henbane]

So, I really enjoy this series. Split POVs are one my personal favorite not-first-person-but-you-get-that-insight writing angles. I do wish we saw more glimpses into the world around Auren and Slade, but ultimately the narrative is well moved on without them. The switch could have been used to speed up some of the slower sections.

The action was well built up. (show spoiler)[The entire book I was waiting for Auren to just declare she was done, to pick up her toys and leave. What happened was horrifying and satisfying in equal measure. I look forward to getting Glow to find out what Auren and Slade will do now. ] (hide spoiler)
