snowbenton 's review for:

The Treachery of Beautiful Things by Ruth Frances Long
4.0

King Oberon and Queen Titania and Puck have left behind Shakespeare and found a new home with Long.

This bewitching novel follows Jenny as she goes on a quest into the enchanted woods that swallowed her brother seven years ago, where she is helped by Jack, a fae that she can't decide if she should trust or run from -- at least, until she meets Titania and her husband/adversary Oberon, who both want her heart. (Literally for the former, figuratively for the latter.)

It's an adventure and a romance and a fairy tale. Stick through the slow beginning; it's worth it.
