What I liked:
Court of the Dark Fae is about a war brewing with a human who may be falling at the heart of it. On a chance meeting, Willow Blackplum meets the king of the dark Fae realm and ends up saving his life, but now she is a pawn between the Dark Fae court and The Light Fae court. The setting is descriptive, the characters are flushed out, and at times, you're not sure who to trust. I felt like we did not get as much story as I wanted, and the ending was abrupt.
Final Verdict:
Pick this one up if you like humans who don't realize they are not human; it is a fast-paced read with an ending that leaves you wondering what is next to happen.

This book was amazing! I loved all of the characters, especially the Dark Fae King! I am a bit disappointed that there isn't a second book yet but hopefully the author continues with this intriguing story.

I thought this book was detailed in describing the characters, I liked that a lot. My favorite character, or rather characters have to be Willow and Oren because though they had just met in the beginning, it was the start of a cute and sweet friendship. It is a bit fast paced but I have a feeling we'll get to see a lot more in the next book

I really wanted to like this, but overall the writing was poor, the ending made little to no sense, the conversations felt forced and I feel like I got no character development
