Court of Lies and Deceit

Flame and Thorns, Book 3

De: Marion Blackwood

Narrado por: Laura Horowitz

A desperate mission takes Selena and her friends to the Unseelie Court. But making deals with the cunning fae of that realm is dangerous. When the Unseelie King forces them into a bargain in exchange for the help they so sorely need, they are pulled into a lethal scheme. To survive it, they must beat the Unseelie King at his own game.

However, their chances of making it out alive are slim when the deck is stacked against them and their own strained relationships are causing turmoil within the group. Winning would mean that they are one step closer to taking down the Iceheart Dynasty. But if they lose, it could mean the end of life as they know it.

Secret agendas, hidden truths, and complicated feelings push Selena and her friends to the breaking point. Can they survive this dangerous scheme, or will their ambition cost them everything?

Much Better Than Book 2

Although the main characters were pushed into another trial, the storyline didn't feel forced. It was refreshing to see the other characters point of view and their interactions added much needed levity. What I hated about book 2, book 3 made up for. A lot more plot progression and less self deprecation monologs. Overall I am looking forward to book 4!

Great story and narration

I absolutely love this series. I listen to a lot of fantasy books but this one has been great, kept me on the edge, and with lots of emotions. Definitely recommend!!!

Stay with it

This installment festers a little but ends in a way you have to read the next book.

SO GOOD!

This series has been getting better and better with every book! The Character development is chefs kiss! 💋

Repetitive…

The writing is engaging and the story is fun with a sprinkling of spicy. That said this book felt pointless to the series and a bit repetitive. More games and trails and more relationships issues. I don’t know if I’m going to finish the series after this series… need some one to convince me book four is worth it.
Spice 🌶️🌶️
Spoiler**** I feel like the author is going back and forth with the love interest so much to keep the spicy 🌶️ angsty. But come on, develop them as a unit vs continually having the will they won’t they.
