“…such an addictive read.”
~ Under the Covers
This surprise release is a YA fantasy with the chosen one trope full of romance, politics and betrayal!
This book is being recommended for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Laura Thalassa. Now, mind you I haven’t read Maas (gasp!) so I couldn’t tell you, but I do think it’s great for fans of the Remnant Chronicles by Mary E. Pearson.
Our main character, Poppy, is a badass trapped in a life that is not of her choosing. But she’s done the best she can with her situation. Holding her head high and not being a victim of her circumstances. Taking control of the things she could, one at a time. Wanting to experience life, while also suffering some pretty bad fates. And then we have Hawke. He’s unapologetic, alpha, but incredibly charming and charismatic. The chemistry between these two is instant, the banter kept me turning the pages. It really made this such an addictive read.
This book clocks in at 610 pages and I’ll admit it’s a character driven story. I would’ve loved the development of the world to have happened a little faster, but when it gets going it quickly hits you and speeds up. The “twist” was also something I saw coming from almost the beginning but it was still fun to see it unfolding in the end. And be warned, there will be a little cliffhanger that leaves you wanting the next story to come sooner rather than later.
I am definitely looking forward for more from JLA in this genre and this series!

I get easily distracted by pictures of sexy guys and have tons of book boyfriends.I keep all my alpha males chained to my basement and guard them fiercely.*Back off bitches*I like to see Jason Momoa as a lot of those boyfriends, because ….. mmmmmmm JASON.MOMOA!
I’m a part time graphic designer (yes, everything you see on UTC has been done by me), run my husband's business from home and on a good day I’m a self appointed superwoman (she who can do it all).I love blogging with my girls and I couldn’t do it any other way!My first love is everything paranormal, but in the past few years I’ve re-learned to love contemporary romance.Every once in a while I like to mix things up with a historical romance, a steampunk or an LGBT book.Because I need variety to avoid book slumps.I don’t always need an HEA although I prefer one, and I love authors that can rip my heart out and make me ugly cry.
