A girl finds herself in a bargain with a fae king when her sister is kidnapped and the only way to save her is to step into the land of Fae. Lia Ashmore has been living with guilt ever since she nearly got her sister killed in an accident. The only solace she has is her dreams in which she meets a shadowed man named Riven who helps her escape the pain of her reality. When Lia discovers her sister is missing she encounters Riven, a real faery, a king in fact, and her “dream” man is actually real. Riven tells her that her sister has been kidnapped by the Unseelie and the only way to get her back is with his help, and if she wants his help they’ll have to enter into a bargain, her hand as his consort and his help and protection for her and her sister. What Lia begins to realize is that there is more going on here than she initially thought and that fae court politics are in play. Riven wants Lia but he also wants to protect his people and only Lia as his consort can help him gain back the powers he’s been losing. But bitter rivalries appear that threaten to reveal the deep dark secrets and betrayals that Riven has been hiding and there’s no telling if Lia will be able to forgive him for all his secrets. Unfortunately for me, despite absolutely adoring Megan’s previous work ( The Tinkerbell Retellign), this one definitely missed the mark for me. I was simultaneously annoyed and just so over Lia, she is so naive and constantly going back and forth with her “I feel so guilty about my missing sister” and “ I am in love with Riven” and her choices and decisions? Seriously I had to keep putting this book down to take a break because i was getting irritated. Riven was possessive and toxic and what he did, well, lets just say that her forgiving him practically after she discovers was a bit... questionable. Also the sort of love triangle put in there? nope. So all in all, this one missed the mark for me but I still will definitely be reading Megan’s future work and can’t wait to see what she writes next.
