When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it.

But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it... or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.

My Thoughts
Where have I been? This is the first book I have read by Sarah J. Maas....and I am hooked!! I loved everything about this book. The cover..gorgeous. I mean it is a captivating cover from the font, to the word location, colors and more. The story is hands down one of the best I have read this year. It kept me guessing and captivated the entire time. I loved the rich descriptions of both worlds, the characters, clothing, scenery and scary creatures! Some of them sound like things from our nightmares. The intrigue behind the story...LOVED it. I never saw the twists coming regarding the curse or villain. There were some characters (major and minor) that I loved, some I did not like...at all...but there were others that I didn't like, but then I did and am now just left completely conflicted! I must also admit that there was a scary creature that I also enjoyed! He gave such good advice, but so cryptic...his words could have easily changed the entire story-line if Feyre had listened to his comments.
This is easily a month and year favorite for me. After I finished reading it I could not move onto another book for a while because I kept thinking about the entire story, but really about what Rhysand saw as he left. Now that is a cliffhanger that I enjoyed! This book intertwines fairy tales, myths, romance and political/court intrigue into a masterful explosion of a story that grabbed my attention and has not let it go. The sequel to this story, A Court of Mist and Fury is scheduled to be released on May 3, 2016...I can't wait!!!
