Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin-one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world. As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow over the faerie lands is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin-and his world-forever.
Top 5 reasons I want to read this:
- ♥Beautiful Cover: Oh hello stunning cover .. I want to frame this cover, it's so pretty. It matches my blog too. I find all the fantasy book covers fascinating. I like the hardcover more than the paperback cover, which is depressing because I like paperback books more. They're smaller, cheaper, and not as heavy. Fun size!
- ♥The premise: This is a fairytale retelling of Beauty & The Beast, which is one of my favorite fairytales. If it's anything like the book Cruel Beauty, I'll love it forever. It's a series though which makes me want to scream :( This will be New Adult, so let' see how it goes.
- ♥The Author: I've read the author's previous work before, and she's a wonderful writer.
- ♥Impatient: I'm eagerly awaiting for this book to come out, hopefully I can receive an ARC of this or I might just pre-order this soon, I JUST HAVE TO HAVE IT. Just look at that amazing cover and the synopsis. I don't buy physical books anymore because of the review copies I receive, this will be will my first physical book purchase in a year if I do buy it. o.O What a special book. I was going to buy the physical copies of A Wicked Lovely and The Witch Hunter, but I'm so glad I didn't, those books were a fail for me. I should make a post on Top 5 reasons why those books failed for me..
- ♥The hype is crazy on Goodreads so far, It looks like it might be a bestseller. I'm quite looking forward to reading this book soon.

ReplyDeleteI also love the Supernatural gif! haha :)
Haha thank you Katie♥ & YAY to Cruel Beauty<3
DeleteGreat pick! I can't wait to read this either! While I haven't read the Throne of Glass series my friend did and she's obsessed with those books. I think this book is a much better fit for me than Throne of Glass so I hope it's as amazing as they say.
ReplyDeleteHope this one works out for you Veronika :) Throne of Glass is nice too.
DeleteI think I will love this book. Adding it to my wish list right now.

Haha I hate long lines, think I going to just pre-order it soon :)
DeleteOh, a thousand times yes! I haven't gotten to preorder it yet, but I am hoping too soon. Once I reach that point, at least it'll feel we are getting there soon, right? Here is to hoping it is worth all the hype.
ReplyDeleteDreams @ Once Upon A Dream Books

ReplyDeleteMissie @ A Flurry of Ponderings
Me too, Me too! ♥
Delete<3 Sarah J. Maas! She's probably my favorite writer to come out in the last 5 years, and I adore her TOG series. And this is (from what I've discovered) actually a cross between two fairy tales. There's the Beauty and the Beast story, but also the Scottish legend of Tam Lin (or as in this case Tamlin). I love both stories and I CAN'T WAIT to see how it's all going to blend together! Awesome pick!!
ReplyDeleteHere's My WoW!
Ohh .. I haven't heard of the Scottish legend before, that sounds interesting. It sounds more amazing now, thank you Kerry :) ♥
DeleteI cannot wait to read this!!! *-*
ReplyDeleteMe too :)
DeleteI'm still torn on whether I want to read this book or not, but I hope you enjoy it once you get a chance to read it. :)
ReplyDeleteHillary from Bittersweet Enchantment
Thank you Hillary, it does sound fantastic though ♥
DeleteI received this one from the publisher ^^ The ARC is the size of a hardcover: huge!! I hope we will both enjoy it! :)
ReplyDeleteOMG lucky you! *Jealous* lol joking :) Hoping to read your review on it sometime soon Lola ♥
DeleteI can't wait for this one. Sarah J Maas is amazing plus Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairy tale, so I'm looking forward to seeing her spin on it. Great pick!

ReplyDeleteYAY<3 We're on the same boat then ♥
DeleteI couldn't agree with you more! I love the cover and the synopsis looks good...I'm so in love with the Throne of Glass series. Seriously, great minds think alike. *wink*
ReplyDeleteHaha yes, I couldn't agree more with that ♥
DeleteI've had this since December in a Christmas package from Bloomsbury (UK) and haven't read it yet, (I KNOW, I don't know why I haven't either, haha) BUT SO EXCITED FOR IT! :D
ReplyDeleteLucky youuuu!!<33 *Jelly* Loool I hope you do enjoy it, hope to hear your thoughts on it soon :)

ReplyDeleteAw it's okay, we're on the same boat! Lol I cannot wait to read this series soon :)
DeleteHellllllllssssss yessssss!! So excited for this one.
ReplyDeleteMe too <33
DeleteLove me some Maas! I can't wait for this one either! :D
ReplyDeleteYaaayy<3 ♥
DeleteYESSSSS. I'm so excited to read this! How can Sarah J. Maas and a Beauty and the Beast retelling go wrong?? Great pick!!
ReplyDeleteRachel @ Paper Cuts
I know, it's a powerful combination. I hope it's as amazing as it sounds, thank you ♥
DeleteEpic pick!! I read this book and IT WAS FREAKING AMAZING!!! <3333 Heart eyes for this book so much!! :)
ReplyDeleteOMGGG I'm trusting your word on that since we have similar tastes!! <3
DeleteI absolutely LOVE Sarah J Maas writing! I think it's fair to say more then half of readers all around are itching to get this book! :)
ReplyDeleteYESS, I'm dying to read this one! I so hope it's as amazing as it sounds :)
DeleteI just got an ecopy of this, but I can't wait to get my hands on the actual book because it's JUST SO GORGEOUS. I agree with all the reasons you have for wanting this, mostly because of the premise. Cruel Beauty was amazing! ;)
ReplyDeleteAimee @ Deadly Darlings
I agree, it's just one of those books that you have to purchase! & Yes, Cruel Beauty was one of my favorites ❤️
DeleteYES! I'll be reading this one in a week or so - very excited! It's gorgeous :D
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it when you read it!!
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
I hope so too!! Waiting for your thoughts on this one soon :)
DeleteI actually hate the cover. GASP. I think I may be the only one, but everything about it deters me. If it was Maas or a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, and all I had to go on was the cover, I would not pick it up. There's just something about it that completely puts me off D:
ReplyDeleteBut even so, I am SUPER excited to read it. It sounds so badass, and totally awesome - and we can expect it to deliver since it is written by Sarah J. Maas! And yes, everything I have been hearing has been positive, which is a good thing :D
Hopefully we both like this when we get around to it, Benish!
Aaahhhh you don't?? That does depress me a bit lol bit it's alright, we can still be friends :) I hope we do enjoy this book regardless! I cannot wait for it soon, I'm so excited for it ! ❤️
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to get an ARC of this and my gosh, it is freaking AMAZING! Trust me, it's worth the wait! It's totally swoon worthy and beautiful. I love the cover because it matches the character so well!
ReplyDeleteI am so pre-ordering this soon! I cannot wait :)
DeleteThis is one I am so excited to read! I got an egalley, and it's on the list to read closer to the publishing date. Sorry I'm so late returning the visit, but thanks for stopping by my WOW last week!
ReplyDeleteNo problem, thank you for dropping by Lisa ♥
