Blurb:

A snarky fae, a sexy king, and forbidden desire deep as the sea.
Once, I was a fae princess with sea-magic at my fingertips. Now? I’m a hunted supernatural in a squalid shop, stripped of my power. My only comforts are stale cookies, Elvis records, and my hula-hoop. Until a lethally sexy fae king arrives and rips even those away. 
After the brutal king throws me in prison, I strike a bargain with him: my freedom in exchange for helping him find a magic blade. What Lyr doesn’t know is that the blade might restore my stolen magic.
But as we journey, the gorgeous jerk is starting to make me feel things I’ve never felt. When Lyr touches me, desire ignites. I see raging passion in his eyes, too. If I give in, I risk losing my chance at reclaiming my power. Even worse... I could be forfeiting my life.

My Review:

Favorite Quotes:

Was it just me, or were the worst people also the most beautiful?


Ok, I hate that I have to read reviews to jog my memory of a book.  This is why I need to review them right away! Or take notes, something. Anyway, this one was pretty good. The beginning was kinda dreary but after Aenor agreed to help Lyr find a sword in exchange for his human friends saftey, it picked up.  The chemistry didn’t stand out, the world building was the best part.  Aenor had a pretty kick ass back story, which I won’t go into because spoilers.

Lyr was pretty typical as far as tall dark and handsome goes. The sword finding journey was what kept me reading. I really loved the descriptions of her castle and when she finally was able to go back to her homeland that she thought was destroyed.  And I loved how her view of what happened was different than her subjetcs view.  It was a nice spin on the different perceptions in the book.  I may read more but I’d have to be in the right mood.
