Rose Red

The Sythea Chronicles, Book 1

De: E. J. Rekab

Narrado por: Evelyn Rose, Benjamin Crow

A witch on the run from the fae who hunt her. A bounty hunting fae with a devastating secret. An unexpected alliance that will shatter everything they thought they knew.

In a land scarred by an old war where fae hunt witches and collect them for bounty, Rose must hide in the woods with her grandmother to avoid being turned over to the fae king for torture. Rose does what she can to survive, stalking and killing any fae that wander too close to home and using her magic sparingly to avoid detection.

One day, Rose is captured by a wolf-shifting bounty hunter named Emrys, and she immediately knows two things. First, she must find a way to escape no matter the cost. And second . . . she's never hated anything more than she hates the fae. Especially her captor.

When the forest comes alive with mysterious, sentient mists, thieves, and strange creatures, Emrys and Rose must form an alliance to survive and achieve a common goal: freedom. But as their truce is pushed to the limits, they realize that they may have a common enemy . . . and that the lines between love and hate are dangerously thin.

Rose Red is an enemies-to-lovers, marriage-of-convenience fairytale retelling.

Contains mature themes.

I was expecting a good smut book, this is not

I loved the love story and banter but not enough smut for me. Found it hard to listen to the whole thing and then a cliff hanger to boot. Not for me.

engaging storyline.

I liked literally everything about this book! The story was engaging and not as predictable as some others are.

the fantasy and love story

I loved the book but I didn't like the king I love how Emers was such a good husband and how much he wanted his wife and how much she wanted him

Lovely book!

This was a very entertaining story. The narrators brought it to life for sure. The twist on Red Riding Hood was really nice! Very exciting too!

Not Smut

A VERY drawn out SLOW burn romance. Good world building. The torture scenes are not for the faint of heart. Pretty decent though. Narrators were pretty good.
