I didn’t read the highly popular southern vampire mysteries by Charlaine Harris (but my wife loved them). The nearest thing I can place this for me is True Blood – the TV series. What genre is this? Well – fantasy, comedy, adult steamy romance with some fairy political intrigues – okay I’ll go with that. I need to start off by stating that this is the first book of this genre that I have ever read. And while I loved her other series, The Way, I have to admit, I think she found her niche with Fantasy Reverse-Harems. Once again Ellie Aiden created an MC that is fun, funny, and loveable. And then the ending, well, I won't ruin it for you, but it's the perfect ending that left me begging for book #2. ![]() "Hearts flashed in my eyes" as her relationship develops with Blake (a human) and to say the sex scenes are steamy would be an understatement. I didn't feel like I was reading the same old, YA Fairy Fantasy. It's awesome.Įll is a Seelie Princess, and what I really loved about that, is the story surrounding fairies, how they came into existance, the difference between Seelie and UnSeelie, it was different than anything I'd read before. Actually, it might have started with the cover, and yes, I know I'm not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but look at it. ![]() I don't read a lot of reverse-harems, so when I received this book, I wasn't sure if I would like it or not. ![]() |
