Captured by the Fae

Fate of the Fae, Book 1

The Fae King's guards captured me.

Nobody is coming to save me. I've been kidnapped and charged for a crime I didn't commit. To stay alive, I need to convince the King of my worth. But he's my enemy.

I come face to face with my captor, the Fae King, and he's as terrifying as he is mesmerizing. His dark hair, chiseled body, and icy blue eyes draw me in, but he's dangerous—especially because I'm a human.

The King challenges me with an impossible task, and I prevail. Now, questions about my origin put a new target on my back.

I don't know who I am anymore.

I don't know who I can trust.

Contains mature themes.

Had potential

The narrator does well with everything except the male protagonist. I’m an hour away from the end and I’m just not feeling the love or the heat. She voices him like he’s her friend or boss. The story itself is slightly interesting but it’s missing depth. Her abilities and how she gets to fae court is interesting, as well as the enchantment that Lucia had on the court. However, it all just fell kind of flat. Had the story been more of what it was trying to be I wouldn’t have minded the lack of a satisfactory romance but I’m not even going to finish it. I don’t care what happens. I’ll check back in on this author in the future. The beats of suspense as well as the “reader” being allowed into the inner world, just weren’t here for me on this one. We have no idea why the king likes her practically the whole book, maybe the whole book I won’t know. I wouldn’t have liked him, but she for some reason loved him??
