Official blurb:
Brea Robinson is a murderer.
That’s what everyone tells her when she’s accused of killing her best friend.
Her mother always claimed she belonged in a straitjacket. Turns out, she was right.
When the man with flashing violet eyes whisks her through a portal into a world beyond her imagination, a world vicious in its beauty and wicked in its lies, Brea begins to wonder if she was ever crazy at all.
Every hallucination she’s ever had is real, but this new world has its own set of lies and questions.
Why are three royals prepared to battle over her? Who is Griffin O’Shea, and why did he abduct her?
And does falling in love with a man trapping her in this deadly land mean she really has lost her mind after all?
There is only one thing Brea knows: She can’t trust anything.
Not her mind.
Not her heart.
And certainly not the Fae who claims he’s trying to keep her safe.
My rating: five stars out of five
“Brea Robinson was a lie.”
I picked this book (first of the Queens of the Fae series) up because it has “fae” in the title, and I totally didn’t expect it to be this awesome!
This story was so different from your typical fae story. The kingdoms and magic were so unique and twisty. There are two different love interests. And no one is who they seem!
I love how you get to experience the story through the human-going-through-a-portal perspective. Brea makes some rather cringeworthy mistakes, but it makes her all the more endearing.
It’s hard not to get into spoiler territory, so I’ll leave it there. If you like compelling, twisty plots, magic, romance, and fae, this book is for you.
