But what the princess never expected was the touch of an enemy thawing the ice in her heart, a kingdom of cutthroats becoming home, and a prince of nightmares loving the monster in the mists.

How to snare a husband – threaten to kill him.

While I haven’t read The Broken Kingdoms series yet, it’s on my want to buy list and this book just made me wish I’d win the lottery so I could just buy them all and binge them! Soon, wallet, soon you will cry.

“Mistake my wife for yours again and I’ll kill you. Understand?”

The Mist Thief is a spin-off of The Ever Seas duology, which I’ve read, and is in turn a spin-off of The Broken Kingdom series. So if you’re looking for a binge worthy set, this is 12 books you can read straight through lmao

“I have no thoughts.” My voice was low, a soft rasp. “What would be the point?”

The Mist Thief

Skadi was such a sad creature! Like, she was incredibly strong but the shit she’s been through, not fair. She was so hesitant of her powers and people and I love how the fae brought her out of her shell and her head – allowed her to actually live.

“That fae did not touch you, but I saw your eyes, your reaction. Someone has touched you and not kindly.” I tugged on her bottom lip with my thumb. “I’ll be needing a name…If he is still breathing, I would like to change that, Wife.”

The Nightmare

Jonas. The Nightmare Prince. I love him. I love how quickly obsessed he becomes of Skadi, and how much he did for her, helped her, how much he cared about his family and kingdom.

Here, darkness was beautiful.
Here, we schemed.
Here, family didn’t mean blood.
Here, was home.

The found family aspect for Skadi was so beautiful 😭 Watching her realize that how she grew up wasn’t normal, wasn’t right or nurturing or loving but wrong. Seeing the interactions between all of them was so heart warming. The birthday heist!! That was so cute!! I was creepily grinning the entire time.

She wanted her fire to remain doused, little did she know her husband had plans to fan the flames until we were both set ablaze.

Thank you to the author for sending me a PR box with a physical ARC! You can find my unboxing post here!
