Awesome Fae read. LOVED Savvie. She starts off unsure of her herself, shy and aloof, but as she realizes that she has so much more more to give, she opens herself up to love and finds it not with one man but FOUR! Eek! And so very different men as well. I loved all the guys, but I think Rook is my fave.
The story progression was amazing and world building fantastic. The villains of the story are love to hate (know the damn difference) and the ending was OMG!!
READ THIS BOOK!
That is all.

Really, really loved this book. The FMC started out naive about the ways of love and had a crush on some guy, but then as she starts to grow up and discovers what she wants out of life, not to mention hot guys coming out of the woodwork to chase her. She realizes that she has been wasting her time with him and opens up her heart to her friend who declares his love for her in a very hot scene that had me begging for more! Cue the rest of the guys dropping into her life and claiming her while she is trying to get control of the throne of the Dark Fae Kingdom. Her contender is her vile aunt (yes, you want to smack her around the face with a wet fish every time!) and the main villain of the story is the powerful Light Fae King. But Savvie rises to the occasion with the help and support of her men. The ending was ferocious and all girl power-y, but ends in disaster. Can't wait for book 2!!! Hurry up already!

So good! Really liked Savannah. Her maturity progressed nicely through the book, going from pampered princess to freakin' warrior princess! What a ride. The guys were hot, hot, hot. The sexy times were steaming and man, oh, man can I punch Ambrosia in the face please??? LOL.
Another awesome read by Eve Newton.

Meh... I really didn’t like this book. The characters were just not interesting and the Insta-love 😫 was sooo bad. The thing that really bothered me about that is they weren’t even in love. Apparently they were just saying that even though they only had mediocre feelings for each other. Like... what? I am confused. There was also a bunch of Insta-lust. Surprise surprise. She went from being a virgin to having four guys that she is having sex parties with. Ugh people don’t do that. Overall the plot was OK but I will not be reading the second book.

New series great start

Eve is on a roll. This book is amazing. It was a one day read for me. Savannah is a dark fae princess who is trying to become queen. She is in love with a few questionable people who her grandfather is not happy about. This story sucked you in and you didnt want to put it down. The cliffhanger OMG. I cant wait for book 2.

Fast burn RH with cliffhanger

Not much else to say except that it was a fast burn reverse harem that ends with a cliffhanger.

Don't know if I will continue this series or not...

Plus side- it had a character list at the beginning

Cons - cliffhanger makes me rate lower and not want to continue... maybe when series is complete

Apple doesn't fall from the tree

Another great book by Eve. This world that she has built is crazy. While this book features characters from the forever series and dragon heiress series, you don't have to have read them. Eve does a great job on making sure that you have all the needed info.

Savvie has a battle on her hands to get what she wants and that's not only for her kingdom but for her men as well. The men in this book so hard to choose but I'll be like savvie and I won't 😉 Can't wait to see what drama unfolds next.

This new series from Eve is amazing. In this book you meet Savannah a dark fae princess who has a tough relationship with her mother and much of her family. In fact she wants to be a different from them as possible. Low and behold she is more like them then she thought. This book follows Savvie on her quest to become who she was meant to be. This book has it all with a strong female lead, four sexy men, and a villain you want to punch in the face! I cannot wait to see what comes next in Savviie’s journey!

OMG! What a book! Eve knocks it out of the park with this one and I wait anxiously for the next one. It’s not a book that I would normally choose to read but I am so glad I did because it’s amazing. I was hooked immediately and could not put it down. Highly recommended this book

The Dark Fae Princess

Savannah is a Dark Fae Princess who grew up with a very firm belief that she would never emulate her mother or her multiple spouses. How could her mother justify loving so many different men, and having different children with them she would never understand. Then as if that wasn’t bad enough her sister Delinda did the exact same thing! Well, to each their own. Savannah knows what she wants and it will definitely be with the LOVE of her life...singular....not multiple.....or will it?

As Savannah grows in strength and knowledge she also soon learns that maybe the beliefs that she has so stubbornly clung to are holding her back, as soon as she allows herself to admit her love for all the men she has surrounding her, she feels a greater strength and determination to claim the destiny she is truly suited for.

But along with love, there is also betrayal that Savannah expected, but thought that she could avoid. With her men surrounding her, Savannah rides into battle.....but will she be able to win the battle that she so desperately desires?

Find out by getting this book now! This is one book you don’t want to miss.

It feels like I’m missing vital parts of the h family’s story. I’m guessing this is a spinoff & perhaps if I’d read what are likely her sister & mother’s stories I would be more interested in the characters. If this is in fact a stand alone series the author desperately needs assistance making it out of the drafting stage & into revisions. As it is I nearly fell into a comatose state.

1 Star.

Eve always makes the best characters for her books! After reading part of Delinda's story, I'm glad we finally get to see a peek into her sister Savannah's life and more into the worlds they live in. Savannah although shy and uncertain at times has such a determination with both her men and her kingdom. Her guys range from timid to full blown alpha male keeping things interesting as their relationship develops. There are so many surprises in this book that just jump out at you when you least expect it. You'll be kept on your toes while reading and the cliff hanger will throw you for a loop! The next book is certain to be even better!

Savannah is a girl that knows what she wants. Be it power, knowledge, love, men. She is determined in her ways.

This book is a solid mixture of sultry, sensual and suspenseful. With an action packed plot that centres around Savannah’s quest to rule her kingdom and take down the threats that try to stop her, Savannah must find her way around power and a way around her men.

This book was hot. I can’t wait for what the next has in store.

Amazing!!

Savanah is a strong FMC that is after the throne of the Dark Fae Kingdom from her grandfather instead of her ditzy aunt. But her Grandfather has conditions and she is going to make sure she does what she has to. All while trying to stay away from the malicious light fae King who either wants her or her mother. Savvier goes from no interest in the guys around her to very much needing them. They have to protect in the war the fae light king declares. Angsty and thrilling start to a new series.

I adored this book. I loved how Savannah grew throughout the book and matured enough to know what she wanted and didn't give a damn what anyone else had to say about it! The guys are absolutely drool worthy...Trey. UHM, YUMMMMM. Half Dragon, Half Light Fae. What a steamy combo. Loved that the guys have very different personalities and Eve has set it up so that they will play a different role with the FMC, and maybe each other?? (one can dream, haha). Love, conflict, drama, villains, heroes and a kick ass warrior princess. What's not to love?
Book 2, please...NOW!!!!

Eve was exceptional yet again! I really enjoyed getting to read about Savvie and you don't have to tead any if the previous series to understand what is going on. Savvie has a great journey and figures out what she wants while also finding out something about herself that was hidden. She grows a lot throughout the books and then you add in Trey, Theo, Jerrick and Rook and oh man does it get steamy! Just be fully prepared for a tear jerking, heart stopping, book throwing cliff hanger ending that is oh so worth the read! I cannot wait to see what comes next for Savvie!

A dark, sensual and seductive read. Back-Stabbing and plotting from both the Light & Dark Fae Kingdom with Savannah (FMC) and her men Jerrick, Trey, Theo and Raize right in the middle of it. Whilst Savannah tries to become the next in line for the Dark Fae Throne and it makes for an edge-of-your-seat ride and read. Totally Brilliant

Savannah has always deplored her mother and sister Delinda's lifestyle choices. But the. She realises the shiny red apple hasn't fallen far from the tree.
This is the first book in a new series and I cannot wait to witness Savvies journey because if I know one thing it's that Eve Newton has me enthralled, gripped and enchanted from the start of her books until she lets me off the rollercoaster at the end of the series......if she ever does.
Sassy characters, strong alpha males and nasty villains that just might be closer to home than first thought. Buckle up and enjoy the ride X I know I did X

This is the worst book I have read. First, the main character goes from saying one thing to doing the complete opposite 1. Second, the autor’s writing is tenous at most; it’s like she had in her mind all the things she wanted to happen but didn’t know how to put them in writing so the story just changes from one thing to another without achieving a convincible storyline 2. There is no exploration of the characters past nor ANY sort of deep to anyone of them 3.

If you have plenty of time and like reading smut with several guys with big dicks that cum every 3s go ahead. But if you have any appreciation of good writing, this is not for you.

Spoilers:
1. Saying she only likes the guys as ‘friends’ then the next time she sees them she fucks them (???)
2. There are like 3 whole continuous chapters of just senseless fucking and the all the time she’s just saying how she’s meant to be the queen of the dark fae, but nothing truly ever happens to that journey until the very end which btw leaves the whole book like (???)
3. Rook is describe as ‘mysterious’ but the only thing that is mentioned of him is that he’s actually a raven. There NOTHING said about the past of Jerrick; Trey, a little bit but not enough to understand what the hell happen to him to end up moving to the light fae kingdom. Theo, as well, I mean who the hell are all this characters?!?!! We just hear a couple of sentences regarding their name and their ‘species’ but that’s it; not even with Savannah, who is the main character, has a deep history. I don’t know if it’s just how the book was meant to be of 90% of senseless porn but not even that was good.

At the beginning it was a three star read for me, but as I got closer to the end of the book Savannah just became too much of a petulant child. Throughout the book she’s just horny the whole time and trying to get one of the guys to fuck her. And when we do get a sex scene near the end, it’s just too much. Usually I’d be fine with that but sometimes less is more, especially in this case. The plot is barely coherent and it’s as though every conflict is only there to lead to her having sex and to build to romance. None of the characters were good, except for Raize and Theo. It might be because I didn’t read the other series, but I had no personal attachment to any of the characters and the side characters kept getting on my nerves. Savannah would be hot and cold with her mother and it was so annoying. It’s not the worst book I’ve read, but it sure is bad.

Nope. Nuh uh. Not today, Satan.

DNF @ 18%

There is obviously an audience for this kind of character and this style of writing. I am not that audience.

I tried, I did. This is the second book I've tried to read from this author and while this main character wasn't as wildly obnoxious as the other, she's just... ugh. Shallow, boring, unintelligent. Zero personality. She's supposed to be 21 and all I see is an overly dramatic child. She's vying for the crown and I wouldn't want her for a ruler.

Sentence structure is either hyper simplistic or too convoluted to make sense. "I did this, then I did that."

First person, present tense, multi-POV

DNF - quit at 15%
This was very hard to read, it felt very immature, and I’m not talking about YA reading, just the main female character, Savannah just didn’t come across as mature enough to have a relationship with a single guy let alone a reverse harem. I kept thinking what the heck every time she would say something to one of the guys. There’s no way I could keep reading this.

At my age (approaching 60), life is way too short & my time is too important to force myself to read a book I'm not enjoying, especially when there are so many other books out there waiting to be read.
