My blood is their salvation... and my ruin.

For years, the monsters who killed my family have held me in a cage. Brutalized and half-starved. Only kept alive so they can steal my blood.

Until one evening when four eerily gorgeous men break me out of my prison.

They give me a soft bed and delicious food. They say they'll protect me—but their generosity may come at a price.

My rescuers are monsters like my captors: fae who shift into wolves. A curse gripping the faerie realm turns them wild under the full moon. Only my blood can cure their rage.

These fearsome men need me, and not just to lift the curse. A tragedy left them outcasts, and offering me to their rulers could win them back the home and the power they lost.

No matter how kindly they treat me, no matter how their smoldering eyes and strong hands stir unfamiliar desires in both my body and my heart, their castle is just another prison. As long as I'm a prize more than a person, my life will never be my own.

I've survived this long without giving up. I won't roll over now. But how can one damaged human girl hold her own against the savage fae?

I got this one too!

Nice!

I haven't started this yet, have you? I'm still behind from November but hoping to get more reading done later this week

Not yet. I'm about a week behind right now. I have old NG books I'm trying to get through by the end of the year plus a couple that authors have sent me that I don't want to wait too long on

It's so nice to have a RH arc. I haven't read a book in that genre in forever. I think my last one was in August so I'm excited to start this one!

I agree, you don't see ARCs of this genre too often

Oh wow, I thought you all killed this book and I was behind on reading it lol. Good to know none of you have done that.

it's fantasy genre or?

yes its fantasy. she's human and they're fae :)

Definitely not me. I'm crazy behind

Starting this now!

Ch 10: (view spoiler)[So far it's okay and I feel bad about her leg/ankle/foot. Those bastards deserve a good dose of karma. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 8 - (view spoiler)[ I'm really liking it so far. I'm curious about the curse and why her blood is special. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 16 - (view spoiler)[ Kellan's an asshole. I'm glad August is trying to protect her. (hide spoiler)]
65%- (view spoiler)[The tension!! (hide spoiler)]
80% - (view spoiler)[Damn it Whitt, now that woman caught her.. (hide spoiler)]
Finished - (view spoiler)[I loved it so much. I loved the characters and plot. I need the next book asap. I have no idea when it might be published but I can't wait.

Also, it was a bit stupid of her to get out of her room to throw a rag with blood in their mouth lol it could have gone wrong so easily. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 20: (view spoiler)[Wow, I mean.. Kellan was an asshole from start to finish so I'm not even surprised that he didn't yield. I do feel bad that they lost a cadre though.. (hide spoiler)]

I'm so jealous! I'm at work so I can't read an ebook right now

Aly wrote: "I'm so jealous! I'm at work so I can't read an ebook right now"

Oh no! I'm support tonight so I'm sitting and waiting for orders. So reading a book seems to be the best thing to make time fly lol

Yeah that's a good way to pass the time!

Ch 30: (view spoiler)[Ugh, can you all just say that you want to bone her.. and then get on with it. So much sexual tension. (hide spoiler)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[Oh man! He saw her! I feel like there's going to be a battle in next book and I'm all for it. (hide spoiler)]

Comment @ Ch 8, yes - that is all I wanted to know because they kept taking it in the beginning..

Comment @ 80%, fdjalkdfjsflsajflsafjldsa I know! (view spoiler)[But for some reason, I thought they could sense someone was on their property as well.. or maybe I've just read way too many shifter books lol (hide spoiler)]

Comment @ finished, yeahhhhhhh I need the next book ASAP!

25% (view spoiler)[ I like the start. Poor Talia. With the attitude most of the fae have towards humans, I'd be worried about her (a lot). However, since this is a reverse harem story I assume her luck is going to change. (hide spoiler)]

50% (view spoiler)[Kellan is evil. He's as bad as the guys who kidnapped her. I know that most reverse harem books have a guy that seems evil but isn't really, but I don't know how they're going to redeem him to be one of her lovers. (hide spoiler)]


75% (view spoiler)[Okay. No redeeming Kellen. He's just dead. That's a twist I didn't see coming. Now Whitt's going to help her escape? That's not going to end well, especially if she isn't sure she wants to escape. He thinks Talia is causing the rift, but he's about to cause a bigger one. (hide spoiler)]

😂😂 yes it will

75% [spoilers removed]"

Yeah, (view spoiler)[I don’t really get why he hated her so much. Would’ve been interesting to see him in the harem but nope - ruined his chances (hide spoiler)]

ch 8 (view spoiler)[ I feel so bad for Talia, she's been through hell. I almost cried when she couldn't get in the bath because of her foot and felt bad that she made a mess on the floor. (hide spoiler)]
ch 17 (view spoiler)[ August likes her awh. It's nice that she has things to do to occupy her, but at the end of the day she's still being held against her will (hide spoiler)]
ch 25 (view spoiler)[ I'm so glad Kellan is dead and that she isn't being punished for trying to escape. Also, Talia is pretty awkward with romance but it makes sense (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ I'm disappointed that we didn't learn why her blood helps them not change or why they change like that in the first place. But it was a good beginning to the series. (hide spoiler)]

@finished (view spoiler)[ Yeah, hello! What a terrible idea. I don't know why she didn't insist they take her blood earlier in the day (hide spoiler)]
