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.

Lord this book was misogynistic and dumb. The only use for this book is to read it in order to make fun of it or to use it as example of how to write terribly and then vow to never ever write anything like this book. In the acknowledgements the author said she worked on this book for YEARS! Holy hell. It felt like it was written in a few months while under the influence of lots of stimulants. I hate this book so much. I hate the author for having written it. Edit: I have to put at least a half a star in order for it to be considered that I "rated" this book something. No stars is not an option and just means "unrated" but I want you to know I really mean No fucking stars. It does not even deserve half a star.

Hades and Persephone with a touch of Beauty and the Beast.

I had been promising myself that I would read this series but I always kept putting it off. Mostly, this was due to the fact I had read A Throne of Glass a long time ago and found the female lead not readily to my liking. I had always promised myself that I would eventually give it another try but first, I wanted to read A Court of Thorn and Roses. I had been hearing a lot of mixed reviews but my friends have mostly been the ones telling me that the series was much better once you started reading it.

I won't lie when I have been told that the series is a mixture of Hades and Persephone with Beauty and the Beast. I have always been a sucker for these and I had placed this series on my TBR. Now that I had time, I decided this would …
