When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a terrifying creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not truly a beast, but one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled her world. At least, he’s not a beast all the time. As she adapts to her new home, her feelings for the faerie, Tamlin, transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie she’s been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But something is not right in the faerie lands. An ancient, wicked shadow is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it, or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever. From bestselling author Sarah J. Maas comes a seductive, breathtaking book that blends romance, adventure, and faerie lore into an unforgettable read.

My Thoughts:

I'll be honest, I started this series because my friend Michale would NOT leave me alone about reading it. Not to mention, Booktok/Bookstagram would not shut up about it. Barnes and Noble would not shut up about it. Goodreads would not shut up about it. I begrudgingly started the audiobook while cleaning and meal prepping one night. I was bored out of my mind for several chapters. But once Tamlin shows up and carts Feyre off to faerie land, the book actually got interesting. In fact, shit gets crazy. The story is so intricately woven into all of these books with crazy ass plot twists that I never saw coming. So, this book is on the slower side of the series. This book sets up the groundwork for the story. Power through, you're in for a wild fuckin' ride.
