Review
I received Ill Fated in return for an honest review as part
of the tour hosted by Bewitching Book Tours. It’s been a few months since the
end of the last book she’s now dating Mason who happens to be the right guy
this time no more jumping into relationships. Someone has taken a hit out on
Maurin the best choice is to lock her up for her own protection and let them
handle it. After the failed attempt they decide to kidnapped her boyfriend,
father and dog. The only option is to team up with her ex-boyfriend whose still
has feelings for her to get them back.
Following the trail they find Conry at the hands of the
blood witches who are draining him of his blood and replacing it with something
sinister but they don’t find her father or Mason. While healing Conry she has a
meeting with the Seelie Queen who is willing to help her find her men but she
has to swear allegiance to the light court. Deciding that fighting the Dark
court guards is just not working Maurin and Conry agree to meet with the king
who attempts to force her to swear allegiance to his court by using her
werewolf friends as bargaining chips. Will Maurin find her missing men before
it’s too late? Will she be able to stop the enemy from that past who’s
determined to get revenge?
I like Maurin she really works for me as a character even
though she’s going through men. I hate to admit it drives me nuts but hopefully
Mason will be the one because they just work together. I also have to admit
that even though he doesn’t talk I have a soft spot for Conry her fae guardian
dog that she received from her father the lord of the Wild Hunt. I also really
like who Amelia has turned into she’s like Maurin growing into who she’s
destined to be. I like Cash a lot but I’ve been secretly rooting through them
all for her to pick him but I think it may just work out for the best. I want
to dislike Aiden after everything but he’s grown on me.
I’ve been reading the entire series one after another after receiving
them for an upcoming book tour so it’s been interesting watching Maurin grow so
much in the last year. I knew it was coming each book has been primary based on
one type of supernatural being so this one had to be Fae after all they just
recently joined the council. I really like the supernatural world that she
lives in with vampires being accepted just like werewolves. I’ve really grown to
love Maurin she reminds me a lot of a fae Mercy Thompson she runs with the big
scary guys and even is dating one. The author has created a unique story that
captures the heart as well as the imagination. Each book is packed full of
action, mystery, coffee and just a touch of romance all perfectly blended
together. The author has a beautifully way of telling Maurin’s story it’s well executed
and flows from start to finish creating a book that is hard to put down. While
this is my first series by the author I’ve become hooked and can’t wait to see
what comes next.
