My rating:
Blurb:Months have passed since the earthquakes unleashed hell on Earth, and it’s a miracle has Apryl survived each one. Without her glasses, she can’t see a thing. She’s a walking liability. Thankfully, she’s the only one who knows it…for now.
When she’s kicked out of her home for being “lazy,” she receives an offer from a man willing to take her in even though she had no experience with gathering supplies. It’s an opportunity she can’t pass up and accepts without even asking his name. Or looking up at him.
She never thought one of the fey would take her in. But now that she has food and a warm place to sleep, she’ll do whatever needs doing to keep her new home. Even if it means falling for a fey.
I received a free copy through Booksprout in exchange for an honest and unbiased review/opinion.
4 stars — This book was filled with lots of misunderstandings from not communicating, but for once I felt like that all came from a reasonable place on both ends. It had all built up from the experiences of EVERYONE (human and fey alike) since the earthquakes. Fey had been given so many different pieces of advice to keep their hearts safe from being taken advantage of. And the rumours that had spread to Tenacity had done the whole situation a bit of an injustice, so that Apryl didn’t know what to expect, or what was expected of her. And while I actually got where it was all coming from, I still have to admit after awhile I got frustrated.
It was also a bit slower build as a result of the misunderstandings, which was a bit of a bummer, but we did get to see Apryl and Scath connect on a different level then. I loved how caring Scath was, and how you could tell his feelings were growing for her even if he had fixated on her right from the start. And I appreciated that Apryl fell in love with Scath without seeing him well…and that his appearance didn’t change her feelings.
We got to see glimpses of quite a few other characters, and there was a much anticipated event at the end of the novella that made me smile even as my curiosity was further peaked.
I can honestly say that I loved that the author chose to explore a zombie apocalypse for someone with seriously impaired vision. It isn’t something I think about, but Apryl’s experiences really brought it to life!
