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 love it! Im surprised I love Rhys better than Tamlin in this book. They’re both wicked but Rhys is more mysterious. There are only a handful of major characters introduced here, with a few minor characters who helped build the mortal world of Feyre. No major cliffhanger, so you’ll do fine if you want a HEA ending, but know that there are still stories yet to uncover and why Rhys suddenly stumbled when she stared at Feyre, that alone will make you want to read the next book. The riddles and the plot twist all makes sense and I suggest you to keep reading when you tire of the “Beauty and the Beast” retelling because it’s not(?) Funny thing is, this book seem like a subtle retelling of “Cinderella” (where Feyre is bullied by her 2 sisters in the first few chapters), “Beauty and the Beast” (when Feyre was captured by a shape-shifting High Lord Tamlin and fell in love), “Snow White” (Amarantha the villain and her 7 little dwarves or 7 High Lords bound to her because of some black magic)
