WELCOME TO THE FOREST OF GOOD AND EVIL.
A DREAM COME TRUE…AND A LIVING NIGHTMARE.
Far, far away, in the realm of Enchantia, creatures of legend still exist, magic is the norm and fairy tales are real. Except, fairy tales aren’t based on myths and legends of the past—they are prophecies of the future.
Raised in the mortal realm, Everly Morrow has no idea she’s a real-life fairy-tale princess—until she manifests an ability to commune with mirrors.
Look. See… What will one peek hurt?
Soon, a horrifying truth is revealed. She is fated to be Snow White’s greatest enemy, the Evil Queen.
With powers beyond her imagination or control, Everly returns to the land of her birth. There, she meets Roth Charmaine, the supposed Prince Charming. Their attraction is undeniable, but their relationship is doomed. As the prophecy unfolds, Everly faces one betrayal after another, and giving in to her dark side proves more tempting every day. Can she resist, or will she become the queen—and villain—she was born to be?
The battle between good and evil is on.

MY THOUGHTS:
LOVED THIS BOOK- ONE OF MY FAVOURITES OF 2019!
Everly is a great heroine and narrator, I can't wait for book 2 to continue her story. Gena Showalter knows how to write a romance and is basically an auto buy author for me. Roth is a great love interest (but make no mistake, Everly is the hero of this story).
This is a unique take on the classic Snow White fable with a dash of mystery (who is the real Snow White? Who's really the Evil Queen?) A must read!

All sorcerers are evil. Elisabeth has known that as long as she has known anything. Raised as a foundling in one of Austermeer’s Great Libraries, Elisabeth has grown up among the tools of sorcery—magical grimoires that whisper on shelves and rattle beneath iron chains. If provoked, they transform into grotesque monsters of ink and leather. She hopes to become a warden, charged with protecting the kingdom from their power.
Then an act of sabotage releases the library’s most dangerous grimoire. Elisabeth’s desperate intervention implicates her in the crime, and she is torn from her home to face justice in the capital. With no one to turn to but her sworn enemy, the sorcerer Nathaniel Thorn, and his mysterious demonic servant, she finds herself entangled in a centuries-old conspiracy. Not only could the Great Libraries go up in flames, but the world along with them.
As her alliance with Nathaniel grows stronger, Elisabeth starts to question everything she’s been taught—about sorcerers, about the libraries she loves, even about herself. For Elisabeth has a power she has never guessed, and a future she could never have imagined.

MY THOUGHTS:
Very unique fantasy- think Harry Potter's Hogwarts but the magical creatures are books!
Overall I enjoyed this story but I did feel it slowed quite a bit about a third of the way through and I really wanted the romance to pick up- a little too much of a slow burn. BUT Rogerson's imagination and the unique world where books are magical creatures that can turned into deadly grimoires made for a great plot, don't piss off your books people!
I'm on the fence on this series, I might continue but I'm in no hurry for book 2.

Bound as one, to love, honor, or burn. Book one of a stunning fantasy duology, this tale of witchcraft and forbidden love is perfect for fans of Kendare Blake and Sara Holland.
Two years ago, Louise le Blanc fled her coven and took shelter in the city of Cesarine, forsaking all magic and living off whatever she could steal. There, witches like Lou are hunted. They are feared. And they are burned.
As a huntsman of the Church, Reid Diggory has lived his life by one principle: Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. But when Lou pulls a wicked stunt, the two are forced into an impossible situation—marriage.
Lou, unable to ignore her growing feelings, yet powerless to change what she is, must make a choice. And love makes fools of us all.
Set in a world of powerful women, dark magic, and off-the-charts romance, book one of this stunning fantasy duology will leave readers burning for more.

READ THIS BOOK- GO BUY IT NOW!
Great love story! Confession time, I actually started this book a few months back and stopped a third of the way through (I'm not sure why) but when I attended the HCC Frenzy presents event last weekend I was promised that this book was ABSOLUTELY FILTHY, and basically dug right back in as soon as a I got home haha. I wouldn't say it's filthy but I recommend this to all romance junkies.
The story is told from duel perspectives between Lou and Reid with majority being from Lou's perspective but it was great seeing things from Reid's perspective. I can't wait for book two, really need it now and so glad I went back and finished this gem!
HAPPY READING!!!
