Description

The sexy, action-packed first book in the #1 bestselling Court of Thorns and Roses series from global phenomenon Sarah J. Maas.

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.

    Had a hard time reading the first several chapters because they were dull. Took me forever to get through them. Once it got good, I was hooked and finished the book in a few days. After reading Onyx Storm, I searched for a new series to read and I’m glad I chose this one.

    I haven’t read a book for pleasure in a while due to other obligations, but I tore through this one within 4 days. Vivid imagery, solid storyline, and you never know what is going to happen next; so you have to keep turning pages.
  • This helped me get back into reading

    Yall, this book had me wanting more. I’m excited to read the next book. I love the story and the world Sarah built. This hooked me and helped me find a passion for reading again. I’m in love with the characters, and the way she described the vision of the world and characters. I’m looking forward the mystery of the story/events that will unfold (as well as the spicy romance of coarse ;) ).

    Just not for me. Uninteresting use of language, restricted vocabulary…lots of jarring modernisms. Plot a compendium of every romance adventure I’ve encountered. Everyone is beautiful. Girl gets guy. Plus Faerie.

    You’re quickly swept up into a compelling storyline that keeps you on the very edge of your seat until the very end! I very much enjoyed watching Feyre’s and Tamblin’s developing relationship and their struggles. Though there is a reason I rate this book 4/5 instead of a 5/5. It has a lot of suggestive elements and even a few scenes. It has heavy descriptions of gore and things that might make a person uncomfortable or even disturbed. While I can put all that aside and enjoy the elements of fantasy and drama some might not. Therefore, it is four stars. :)
  • Great read

    I couldn’t put the book down. I loved the story line and all the characters! The love between the two main characters was exciting.
