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.

Audio book review 

At first It took me a while to get used to the narrator but I soon got into the story.

The story is definitely a slow building storyline, and at times I am having to concentrate on not losing focus (something I find I do with audio book versions) I might even see if I can get a physical copy of the book. To see if the words hold my attention to the story more , but by chapter 17, listening to the scene of the summer fairy..  tears were falling. So yeah I definitely was more engaged in the story.

By the end of chapter 42, I'm getting the distinct feeling that SJ enjoyed making Faere suffer. 

Seriously chapter 43 was so hard to listen to 😞.

At 97% to go I'm struggling how this is going to have a happy ending.

Well the ending was intense. 

Overall I enjoyed the book, whether reading words would make it more easier to get lost in the story, I'm not sure, but I know that reading words is still my favorite way of getting lost inside of a story.

I will start the second book after my scheduled ARC list for the remainder of the month. 

The narrator has an easy voice to listen to, and since I cried at some point, definitely got me emotionally involved with the storyline.

But the book was just too long to get going, there were points when I really was starting to get bored 🥱.

The last part of the book redeemed the book, so I can happily give it  4 out of 5 stars
