Review:
Oh my... A lot happened in this novella and I don’t know where to start this review. Well... I guess with the beginning...
The King continues a little after where The Prince ended. Caden is now King and Brighton is still set on avenging her mother’s death. Learning the name of the Ancient that killed her just pushes Brighton to continue on this mission.
Caden is still trying to stop her with more or less success. The two of them still argue and is still filled with a raw intensity of chemistry. When they are together, they push and pull at each other wanting more and trying to avoid it at the same time which always gets them back to fighting.
But beyond their bickering, so much happens in this novella and I swear all of my feels went in every direction. I’m just saying be prepare when you start this one because Brighton and Caden’s continued story will hook you from the first chapters.
Just needed to add that Tink is still the same old brownie we love and adore and I wish there were more of him and his huge spending habits lol I seriously love this character.
It’s quite general for a review but this being a novella, so much happens in a short time that telling you even a tiny thing would probably be a spoiler, but I’m telling you that you need to read this book as much as I’ll you need the next and final one.
I was giving an advanced copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
“I don’t think this is wise,” Tink said for what had to be the hundredth time since he realized I was getting ready for a night out. “Like I think this is very poorly thought-out, if you ask me, Lite Bright.”
“I didn’t ask you, Tink.”
My uninvited roommate of sorts hovered outside my bathroom. Tink wasn’t human, but right now, he looked like any normal twenty-something guy. Well, if normal, twenty-something guys had natural, shockingly white hair and were beautiful in a way that almost seemed fragile.
This was his full-grown Tink size, something I was still—even after all this time—getting used to. I was more accustomed to pint-sized Tink with the translucent wings. After all, he was a brownie.
After the attack that had taken my mother’s life and should’ve ended mine, he’d basically moved in with me. He’d been here for the last two years, something Ivy’s husband pretended to be grateful for, but in reality, I knew he secretly missed the dude.
“You should ask me,” he replied. When I glanced over at him, I got a little distracted by the dazzle…emanating from the sequin tank top he wore. It was so shimmery that I wondered if he was using some of his magic.
Tink may be a goofball, but he was also one of the most powerful creatures in our realm.
Thank God there was only one of him.
“I am a wealth of amazing advice,” he continued. Dixon, the cat he’d named after a Walking Dead character that Tink called “the hottest redneck eva” slinked around Tink’s ankles. The cat was all gray except for his tail, which looked like it had been dipped in white paint.
I snorted. “When have you ever given me good advice?”
“When I told you two weeks ago not to eat the whole carton of beignets because you’d get sick and you did,” he shot back.
I winced, picking up my mascara. I had gotten sick, but I deserved that carton of sugary, fried goodness. That day…
I didn’t want to think about that day.
“And what about when you ordered that supreme pizza and ate almost all of it?” he said. “I told you that it would probably make you feel bad later.”
Nose wrinkling, I tried to remember what night he was talking about. There were a lot of Friday nights—pizza night in my household—that I ate an entire pie and felt terrible afterward.
“Or how about that time I told you that the seared ahi tuna looked a little gray for my liking? But, oh no, Brighton knows better.” He reached down, scratching Dixon between the ears. “You ate it all, and then I spent the night cleaning up your puke.”
Ew.
