Written by Maci Aurora, this novel follows Auri as she finds herself drawn into a spell of wishes and the God of the Night, Nix. Nix has been trapped in this lonely world for a hundred years, and it seems that Auri might finally be the one to set him free.
Or, just be the one.
I really enjoyed this book, though I think I could do with an ending that goes a little bit further into their story after the happily ever after.
This definitely feels like an ADULT (emphasis on the ADULT, THIS IS NOT FOR CHILDREN) fairytale retelling. I’m not sure which tale it might be – definitely not beauty and the beast, though there is a library and loneliness – but it is fantastic and reads well.
The romance between our main characters felt organic, and Nix was a gentleman or at least tried to be one. In this case, the trying counts for something. It counts for a lot.
I was rooting for these two characters as soon as we met Nix.
One thing, the first two chapters of this book are odd, as they are really just little fairytales. If you get to that and you don’t know what is going on, keep pushing.
This is a book for fans of retellings, romance, fantasy, a bit of fae, and mystery. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
I did receive a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
