The Feels
You should never make deals with the fae...unless they are this hot!
I love reading books where you can feel what the character is actually feeling. The chick is bada*s. I can't wait to read the others, they recount Lark's sister's, Juniper's and Cove's, journeys as well. This book has got some steam so you might want to turn up your A/C.
Suggestions and the second book below! Make sure to check out the author.
One of my favorite quotes:
"I hate him. I hate him so much I want it written on my tombstone."
"I'm as open as a pair of thighs. I've got no secrets."
