Fantasy Romance published by Sourcebooks Casablanca 11 Apr 23
You guys, this book is wild. We start off in modern-day Seattle, and within the first few chapters, we’ve got vampires, werewolves, fae, magical dancing shoes, Thai folklore bird princesses, and flying squirrels.
I’ve been reading a ton of fantasy books lately, so my brain is currently hardwired to automatically accept every crazy thing thrown at me. Because of that, this book really works for me. I think had I been fresh off a romance streak, then this book might have been a little much. So fair warning, prepare yourself for this one.
Another warning to those who aren’t a fan of insta love. This book takes place over the course of just a few days and the insta love is intense. I prefer slow burn myself, but insta love doesn’t necessarily bother me.
Overall, I enjoyed this and I’m interested to see where the series goes. It was a super easy, quick read that I binged in two sittings. So I definitely had fun with it. Give this book a shot if you like whirlwind fantasy stories with tons of mythical creatures.
Grade: B+
Summary:
My wings unbound, I am the Thai bird princess, the kinnaree, and no matter the cost, I will be free.
Peeraphan Rahttana lives her life in Seattle, unaware of the complicated magical world spinning just beyond the shadows and mist…until a violent clash outside her dance rehearsal has her literally whisked off her feet. Her darkly brooding rescuer, vampire Bennett Andrews, claims to represent a secret organization dedicated to locating objects of myth and magic, tucking them safely away where they can do no harm—but he’s too late to save Peeraphan from a deadly curse.
Yet Peeraphan isn’t what she seems. Wings unbound, she’s a Thai bird princess of legend…and while the curse won’t kill her outright, it’s only a matter of time. Determined, Bennett sweeps Peeraphan deeper into a supernatural world far beyond anything she ever imagined in a desperate bid to find a solution…and an explanation for the powers even she doesn’t know how to define.
Her world may have changed overnight, but Peeraphan knows one thing for certain: she can’t go back to living as a human anymore. Not when she’s felt what it’s like to fly with Bennett by her side. She’s determined to keep her wings and her freedom…and defy anyone who would try to take them from her again.
What would you save if the world you knew disappeared and you could open your eyes to what exists just beyond?
