A Court of Thorns and Roses (Court of Thorns and Roses, #1)

by Sarah J. Maas

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Perfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and George R.R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!

When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin--one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.

As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow over the faerie lands is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin--and his world--forever.

I loved this so much. I think I'm realizing that I love fantasy books more than I thought. I admit that it started off a bit slow and I didn't understand everything that was going on. It didn't grab me immediately but I was enjoying it. Somewhere around the 30% mark it began to move faster and by the 40% mark I could not put it down. This has the Beauty and The Beast vibes for sure I think it's considered a retelling of sorts. I already have the second book in this series from the library but this time in audio (23 hours!) I cannot wait to dive in.
