Resumen del Editor

For years, when I fell asleep, I dreamed of a man with blazing green eyes and a cruel smile. The day I meet him, the ruthless mercenary leaves me for dead.

Just hours after humans are born, the gods take what little power we have. In return, they protect our borders from the vicious, merciless fae.

The humans who manage to keep their power are known as the corrupt. And they are burned.

When my forbidden power is discovered, I’m forced to flee my tiny village and the life I adore. To survive, I make a desperate bargain with the mercenary who abandoned me at my weakest moment.

Our deal is simple: I’ll help him and his mysterious friends sneak into the city, and he’ll help me learn to wield the strange, dark power I’ve always kept hidden—the power that may just be the key to my survival.

But the ruthless mercenary is hiding secrets of his own, secrets that threaten the safety of everyone I love, that could tear this kingdom—and perhaps even this world—apart.

Please note: A Court This Cruel and Lovely is an NA/adult romantasy book with steam. While this series is slow burn, the chili-pepper rating will increase for each book.

Plot!

Absolutely loved every part of this book. The title is like every other romantasy out there, so I wasn’t too excited - but, it totally blew me away. It’s not ACOTAR or Blood and Ash- it’s better.

So good

Such a gripping story!!! What a great cliffhanger I cannot wait for the next installment and though I wish I found it sooner, at least I won’t be waiting too long for the final book now

One of the best romantasy books in a while!

It’s been a while since I’ve listened to something this good. It kept my attention going through out. Should get way more exposure!

Excellent story and build up of characters.

Love the story, the characters and the romance! Can’t wait to start the next book. 🔥❤️🔥

slow to start but good story line

the first book is slow to start and can take a while to get into. however, the narrators did a great job and I ultimately stuck around because I heard the second book got better, and it does.

acting so so, story was good

the story was good, engaging and slow burn. the voice acting was annoying at times, especially some of the male characters sounded like someone mocking a stereotypical dumb jock. the story was good enough to keep me engaged though. might by the next one in book form so I don't have to listen to the voice acting.

Sarah J Maas fans will love

If you take all of Sarah J Maas' books, put them in a blender and turn it on, you get this book.
A sweet herion that only knows one life and then is thrust into a mystery of her own past and finds a perilous future. Handsome strangers, and a evil tyrant king.
The way the story twisted and turned, you weren't sure who to suspect and who to trust.
A fun ride. I liked how characters and story developed. A Great narrator!

loved

Good characters, not an overdone plot, couldn’t put it down. I’m a SJM and JLA fan, and this book was right up my alley.

Love the series

Love this book. And the series. And love the narrator s. I was unable to stop listening. So good

I could not stop listening!

This book was performed so well in my opinion that I could not stop listening to it. The story was creative. I love the FMC, her power, her strength, her conviction. she was very well written. MMC was definitely a bad boy who oozed with sexual tension and annoyed with his arrogance and I ate it up. I can’t wait to see what is in store for these characters in book 2.
