3 Stars
Eve was only trying
to get out of horrible betrothal. At least, that's what she told herself when
she snuck out onto the balcony during the royal feast, and had her wicked way
with the first man she met.
How was she supposed to know that while that was going on, the royal family was
being murdered just beyond the wall?
And the man she was with was a drunken, disgusting mess. There was no
indication he was anyone at all of importance!
Yet keeping the new crown prince of the realm alive is only the beginning of
her worries. With the murder of the royals came the fae; creatures with magick
who descend every hundred years or so to force the humans underneath them to
compete in death games. They call it the Royal Hunt.
Now it isn't just about saving the prince's life, but her own, and every human
living in the kingdom.
I loved the concept
and how things played out. However, it dragged and we still have book 2 to get
through for the full story. The first half of the book was a solid 4 while the
second half was more like a 2. I loved that she was trying to screw up her betrothal
when she mistakenly picked one of the royals to be ruined. They had a lot of chemistry
between them. When the fae came out and started the “games” is where the book
lost me. It wasn’t explained well for me and it was a drag to read. I will read
the rest to find out how things end but hopefully the second book will be
better.
