Bound to the Fae #3
Kings of Moonlight
My power could unite the summer fae... or tear them utterly apart.
The truth is out. The whole Seelie realm now knows that the cure for their full moon curse lies in my blood.
I thought the gamble of revealing that secret would put only my safety on the line. But when one of the arch-lords sets his sights on me, it soon becomes clear there's so much more at stake.
Claiming me is just one piece in a play for control over all Seelie kind. How can honorable men like my new lovers fight back when our enemies are willing to stoop so low? To save me and his pack, the lord who rescued me may have to turn into the thing he hates most.
With awful secrets unearthed and betrayals among our own, can I find a way to be my lovers' strength in this storm—or will I become their fatal weakness?

Okay, so, Kings of Moonlight left me dazed and confused. Mostly because it was a bit boring to read due to nothing truly happening in it. Well, unless you count everyone suspicious getting it on while there's water around. Other than that, not much betrayal or anything until the second half of the book.
We eventually get some betrayals here and there but nothing was that surprising. Yeah, you might guess about a couple from the earlier books but when the dirty secrets come out to play - it's just okay. Again, not a complete shock to me.
Then there's the romance which I am a-okay with because they are all getting closer to one another. The only thing I'm not okay with is how this one ended. In a way, you could consider it a cliffhanger but in reality - it just annoyed me. With a new potential mate, I guess I will have to dive into the next book that comes out later this month.

I'm not going to lie, for the majority of this book I didn't love it as much as the first two. But then, the author gave us a cliffhanger that woke me up a bit and made me really excited to see what's going to happen next. It could go in so many directions and I'm glad the fourth book is going to be published at the end of the month so I won't have to wait long to get some answers!
In Kings of Moonlight, we followed the same characters as previously. The four of them are settling into their newly formed dynamic and the 'I love you' are being told. Some things are being cleared up and we're on the way to finally learn what the heck she could be. They also try to find a way to stop Ambrose who's basically a pain in the ass pretty much for everyone. I was happy with the way that turned out. So yeah, I'm still enjoying this series but I hope the fourth book will be a five stars like book 1 & 2.

So it turns out this series has little mini plots that get wrapped up every three books, and one overarching plot for the whole series. Like completing three levels before you unlock the next world.
This one’s a little slower starting, but that ending! Straight to book four.

This one felt slower and fluffed instead of getting to the meat of things. The first book was a month, second a month, and this one was about 3 weeks I think? It is more political and more scheming involved, but I wish we got to see her magic improving more.
Also that cliffhanger is just mean.

Kings of Moonlight
This was extremely boring. The different perspectives of Sylas, August and Whitt have blended into one boring person. I found the previous books to be more engaging and could at least see the differences between the men. While there was a huge cliffhanger at the end, which was a good twist, there is not much to be entertained within this book. Actually confused as to why people are giving this book 5/5 stars? While I'll read the next book to see how this could end (? not sure if the next one is the last book), it is definitely not worthy of 5/5.

I was so anxious to read this and I'm glad I could make time to jump in. I wanted answers to all my questions like what is Talia? A special kind of fae or another magical creature or what? Can they make a permanent cure for the curse? Why are they at war with the Unseelie and will it stop? Unfortunately we didn't really learn much and I'm dying. Thankfully there's at least one more book so we aren't left hanging too long.
I enjoyed seeing Talia learn more magic and be more capable of defending herself and helping her men. The feelings between Talia and the guys grow in this and there are some sweet heart to hearts happening. I'm still holding out for the foursome scene that I just know will happen!
Plot-wise, this was a little slow. There aren't any fights until the very end and the stakes didn't build up like I wanted. I was happy with how things resolved, especially with Ambrose. The ending left us on a cliffhanger and I need to know what's going to happen next!

The third (but not final) book in the Bound to the Fae series is a great book, though it does suffer a little from being in the middle of the series. There's not as much of a distinct beginning, and there's not a lot of action in the book (though there is a very distinct semi-cliffhanger ending). Talia, Sylas, August, and Whitt are still the same great, interesting characters they have been, and I love to see their characters developing together, as well as Talia's newfound strength and growth as an independent person. I would have liked a little more action and romance and less of the fae politics, but it's still a really great novel.

Eva Chase knows how to write a good but she has outdone herself with the Bound to the Fae series, especially with her latest addition to the series, Kings of Moonlight. I knew I was gonna love it, I just didn't realize I was gonna love it this much. Kings of Moonlight has upped the drama, the action, and the crazy fae politics, it was freaking awesome.
I don't even know where to start, this is the third book in the series and so many things have changed. Talia has gain not only strength by combat training with August but she's also practicing her magic more. She has gained the confidence she didn't have. Not only is she starting to interact with the pack more by helping them any way she can she is also voicing ideas, concocting plans to stop Arch-lord Ambrose and his kin from destroying not only what she has so carefully cultivated with Sylas and his pack but trying to stop him from doing greater damage to Seelie. I love seeing her notice things the guys didn't and using her wits and her alternate point-of-view to come up with plans to help save the day, after she is committed to Sylas's pack to being her new home, her new family and she wants to do everything she can to protect them.
The guys are very supportive of Talia's ideas, wants, and needs, while they want to do everything in their power to keep her safe they also see her as her own person and as an equal which is something that doesn't seem to happen too much in Seelie. I wonder what makes Sylas, August, and Whitt so different from the rest of their brethren, why do they see a human girl as an equal when none of the others do. Talia has been showing and telling them how she felt and except for August the guys were still a little closed off however in this one the guys are opening up more, showing her even more how they feel, telling her how they feel. I loved reading from their perspectives, to see their true feelings about Talia and it was just so sweet.
Another character that must be mention is Astrid, the old female guard that Sylas trusts Talia. I got to know a little more about her in this one and she seems like someone who knows a lot more than she's saying about the whole Talia, Sylas, Whitt, August situation but she doesn't judge, she isn't mean and it was interesting learning a little bit about her past. I have a feeling that she is gonna be important to Talia and I just hope nothing happens to the old warrior fae.
The plot for this book was genius. First, there were beautiful fae homes, fancy balls, and nice little adventures but there was also a lot of fae politics, subterfuge when it came to the other fae trying to get Talia away from the pack and gaining more power in Seelie. I love seeing Taila and the guys uncover the plots against them and others, how much Talia had a hand in the planning, and seeing those plans come into action. I read this book in one and I was captivated by it, how could I not be when I didn't know what was gonna happen next.
The events that happened in Kings of Moonlight are a total game changer. The camaraderie in the pack, the partnership between Sylas and another fae, the politics got quite dirty, a big betrayal, not to mention past events are shown in a whole new light, and a few shocking surprising events occurred but nothing bigger than that whopper of a cliffhanger Eva just throw out there for us to stew on. I am beyond ready for the next book.

First off I'm going to say that I hate the covers of these books individually. Like they are so bad and I would not have picked these books up if I didn't originally see these books in the condensed set. Wolves of Summer is the first three books of this series and focuses on Talia being rescued from her captors. Sylas, August, Kellan and Whitt take her back to their land to keep her safe. They did this because her blood happens to be the cure for the fae turning into wolves uncontrollably during the full moon.
The first three books cover Sylas' pack trying to move back from where they were banished from decades ago. While also trying to keep Talia a secret from the other packs, and from the pack who originally kidnapped her in the first place. Throughout the three books Talia, Sylas, August and Whitt face new fae who constantly put Talia's life and freedom in jeopardy.
Are these books great? No. Are they bad? No. They are just kind of there. I will not be reading these again but I do want to finish the series just to see where the author goes with it. Because the ending of the third book was really good and I want to know what happens next. I wouldn't really recommend this series unless you just want a read that you don't have to put much thought into.

The intensity continues to build!
Took me a few chapters to get back into it but then it felt like home. Book 3 is very plot driven with just a sprinkle of heat. The characters continue to grow and the loyalty and determination of the FMC is so admirable. I was worried that the story was coming to a close but nope!!! Can't wait for book 4!

That ending shocked me! I’m intrigued to continue the series even more. I really enjoyed this book, not a 5 star read though because this book didn’t hit me like a 5 star usually will.

3.75 stars.
15%: i hope the heroine gets more of a backbone soon, and becomes less hard on herself. she keeps thinking she needs to contribute more to the pack, as if faekind haven't been drinking her blood for nine years to save themselves from the curse, AND she's the reason the pack got their home back after decades, AND she selflessly decided to keep giving her blood willingly to save them all the pain of the curse. and some pack members are looking at her like she needs to contribute more, and she DOESN'T slap them for that? seriously? they should be kissing her goddamn feet.
33%: i gotta laugh at the fact that sylas gets visions of the future or past, and every time he's basically just like "well, idk what the fuck that means, so i guess we'll just see what happens 🤷" lmaoo the visions have really been zero help so far.
35%: they're like "without evidence we can't accuse these evil guests of ours that they deliberately put the heroine in danger for their own agenda", and im here like..... fae CAN'T LIE. they can literally just ASK them. it's ridiculous that they're not using that to their advantage.
43%: the fact that the heroine has told all three Hs that she loves them, and only one has said it back... devastating. but i do enjoy the angst that stems from her uncertainty of their continued interest in her. it'll become frustrating after a while though, so i hope this uncertainty won't be drawn out too long.
45%: idk why they don't reveal that the h has magic. they could push for her to be accepted as a fae, and that would give her rights as a fae, instead of being basically property as a human. like... they already know her blood is special, it wouldn't really make matters worse to reveal she has magic.
47%: i wish sylas would retire the nickname "little scrap". it's something you'd call a small child, not a grown woman you're sleeping with. the least romantic endearment ever.
67%: the pacing is something i love about this series. for starters, every book starts off right where we left off in the previous book. and if there's an upcoming plotpoint like a ball or some other significant occasion, then we just skip right ahead to it instead of going through the motions of hearing about the days leading up to it. i like that.
71%: i SO wish the heroine was just a little bit of a badass. i hope she'll, idk, "unlock" the true extent of her powers and then start kicking fae ass when they talk about, oh you know, breeding her in order to use her children as blood-slaves ???
96%: YEEESSS LET'S GO, FINALLY A SOUL-TWINED MATING 👏👏👏👏

Y’all, I am so entranced by the plot of these books. Is it a reverse harem? Yeah. Does it get steamy? Yeah. But I absolutely stand by the plot. I love the development, almost as if you are on the price is right and every time a curtain is pulled back a new surprise pops out that you aren’t expecting and it is great.
I still very much so am team August and the ending of this book has scared the daylights out of me. Here’s hoping my heart isn’t shattered in book #4… please be gentle with me Ms. Eva Chase… please.

My favorite one of the bunch! I think because this is fantasy and has plots that involve the fae, the storyline is sometimes slower before the action really gets going, because of how detailed the background and lead up needs to be. I think that has been the case with Eva Chase's Bound to the Fae series and I am so glad she went that way. It made for book #3, Kings of Moonlight, being my favorite of the bunch so far and easily gets a 5/5 star rating from me! I loved the developments in the plot and the relationships in this book, very well paced and I loved the turn up in the heat and fight scenes. I won't give too much away, but I enjoyed the backstabbing and twists and turns Eva weaved in in terms of the Arch-lords and Silas' pack. I want to learn more about Donovan, not gonna lie haha and I was happy to see things turn out the way they did for some of the baddies that have been plaguing the group. I wasn't shocked by a betrayal but I like how it twisted into a positive by the end.
In terms of the guys, I loved each of them in this one. I loved Silas coming to Talia with some big news and letting out his feelings with her, leaning on her. I loved seeing Talia help mend things between the guys when more shocking news was announced. I loved seeing the joy between Auggie and Talia, but I am excited to see the 4 of them go out in the open with their love instead of hiding in the shadows for 2 out of the 3. Buuuut I feel like everything is going to be flipped upside down with the huge reveal at the end. I knew something was coming, based on some rumblings of how many were in Talia's harem, but I didnt expect it to go down like that! Amazing job yet again Eva. I am dying for book 4 and can't for it to be on audio ❤️❤️❤️
Narration was I think better in this one than in past. I thought Ryan stepped up in this one, with all the various emotions and characters he had to portray. All the evilness from the one Arch-lord and his cronies, to the vulnerability and hurt from Silas and Wit. Fabulous job bringing these characters to life! I thought Savannah did a good job too with all the fear, worthlessness, and hurt that came in this book for Talia, but I thought she excelled when trying to playing mediator and the ending hit me like a freight train. When the guys finally declare their feelings and then the cliffhanger, jaw-dropping moment. 5/5 depiction for them as a whole!

Eva Chase is one of those authors I really really admire. I know we all complain about George Martin because it takes almost an eternity before he has his next Game of Thrones book ready, but the other side of the spectrum exists too. Chase is releasing almost (not entirely, but almost) a book a month. And yes, these books are amazing. They have great plots, great characters and detailed and complicated worlds and magic systems. I was therefore really excited to continue this series today.
What I really loved about this series is the pace. I can imagine that for some people these books are a little too slow, but I love how the author gives the characters and the plot the room to develop and grow. Although the plot is clearly becoming more and more political there is still enough time for relationship building. Not only between the heroine and her guys, but also between the three guys involved.
I also love how well the communication between the characters in this book is. Yes, there is this one case where information is witheld, but it was easy to understand why, but in most cases characters hear or learn something and communicate about it right away. Even if they need to be afraid not to be believed, even if they have no idea what they heard or saw exactly. And even though it shows the limits of these characters, it most of all shows their intelligence.
And they need that intelligence. The antagonist in this book, I love how there is a new one introduced every book even though it's clearly one big storyline, is very clever. So, our heroine and her heroes need to be too to beat him. And I loved how the only way they eventually could beat him was working together, communicating and anticipating. I also loved how it involved taking risks and how the heroes were slowly letting the heroine fight with them.
The last line was brilliant, and to be expected of course, and I can't wait to read the next book!

Again with the recaps! This is NOT necessary. Nobody is picking up the 3rd book before reading the 1st & 2nd. We know all this information. Stop being repetitive for the sake of a higher word count. Honestly I wanted to DNF only 2 pages in because of this, and it went on for several chapters. As much as I love this story, I had to take away a star for this issue alone. And for the love of fae, find a different adjective to replace brawny. Replace baritone, niggle, ephemeral, and kitty-corner too while you’re at it. There are also a significant amount of typos in this one. And can we PLEASE stop making the female main character do stupid shit to further the plot??? There were 3 male main characters RIGHT THERE that could have been the ones to act foolish. Idk about other readers, but I prefer to actually like the lead female character whose life I am forced to experience through 1st person pov. Second-hand embarrassment is not enjoyable! And this was her second major offense. I initially took away another star for that, but the rest of the story is so good it was earned back. But seriously, let’s pretend just for a second that fae who are hundreds of years old might know better than an early twenties human. It’s giving Feyre Darling. The love between the characters is deep and believable, I’ll give it that. And we love a book with spice that also has a great story. If all the spicy scenes were removed the plot would still be very engaging and have readers so interested they’d beg for more. But please keep the spice, it is delicious! And finally, the unexpected twist at the end of this book is responsible for gaining back that last star. (Almost lost it again with the bonus chapter nonsense though.) I love a book that can surprise me! Although I’m a little nervous to see where this new development will lead…

I love this series!
This series and her flirting with monsters have been soo good!
For this one it feels like a bosmer theme from elder scrolls but with their own twist.
The main character has great growth in the series and is so likeable. I just am alway really rooting for her. I adore that she hasn't magically had her leg healed. Because of her leg injury we get to see a character use her wits, her empathy and her magic to overcome obstacles. Even with the magic it's no dr. Strange sorcerer supreme. She takes simple spells and finds creative ways to use them. I soo want to see her learn more and use them together in interesting ways. I'm curious why she hasn't gotten the tattoos. Are they more cultural tattoos? I thought they appeared magically when they mastered a word. Maybe hers isn't a high enough lvl to be considered mastery yet?
As to the plot it was interesting but man i got anxious at the end. I adored her dynamic with her beau's and especially how she's been helping Whit to more fluidly join their dynamic. The end totally shocked me and I'm soo wishing for the next one now. I hope this new development ends up with a new beau to join them eventually instead of an enemy to destroy them. Hope we'll get to learn more of the winter courts customs and see her make friends on that side too. Her best super power of all is her ability to make friends. I love that about her.

Starts with talia living in cage being held captive by 4 men who take her blood but don’t tell her why. She learns that she can escape but not before 4 other men come to raid the place, not intending for her to be there. They end up taking her with them and realize that she is the cure for their curse of the full moon. Every full moon they go full savage and have no control but with her blood they can fight the curse and stay in control. So she moves in with them but their kind look down on humans so no one is nice to her outside of the men because they don’t know what she is to them. They decide to keep her a secret until they can’t anymore. The men who originally were holding her captive continue to try to come after her until they make them swear to stop by fighting them and making them yield. Anyways they eventually have to come clean about what she is or actually she makes them tell everyone because she wants to help. The leaders try to take her from the men but eventually there is a change of authority and one of her men take over which in turns sways the vote in their corner for everything because the other guys leader is on their side. She is constantly facing problems though because she is human but the people don’t know she can manage some magic with their true words. The people she is staying with are fighting with the other people they border with so when her man takes leadership they get a surprise meeting from the other sides leaders. While they are over on their side she realizes one of the other sides leaders is her fated mate but she refuses to acknowledge him right away. They threaten a war so she agrees to go over there but also agrees to not tell them anything.
While over on the other side she learns things about her new man that she isn’t sure how to manage. She doesn’t open up right away and stays pretty guarded at first, also because she is afraid to hurt her already 3 men she has back home. Well of course since he is her fated mate it doesn’t take long for them to form a bond and her men of course don’t want to lose her so they agree to try to make it work. They end come up with the plan of having a house built of the boarder for them.
I haven’t finished the series yet this is just where I’ve left off.

I guess book 3 was better than the first two books but still I find the writing slow and kinda juvenile.
Like the parts of this book that I think were meant to be shockers I had already assumed in either book 1 or 2.
Like who the brother’s soul mate cheated on him with, even though they kept saying he shut down his connection just then because he didn’t want to know who it was with…. Then his older brother has always been drinking/ punishing himself for something and didn’t feel worthy of the female protagonist’s affection & the way his other brother might react was an obvious indication!
Then when our female protagonist was taken to the oldest fae in the lands who often speaks in riddles to try to find out more about her and the cure. Everyone who heard it assumed one thing, but Again it was very obvious to me when he spoke about her coming from “darkness & into the light” that she comes from the dark/winter fae and is now with the light/summer fae.
She is obviously the cure because whoever made the curse must want the two fae’s to set aside their differences, because inter mixing and their two fae will create stronger fae. Her children with summer fae would be stronger.
But now there’s going to be drama as book 3 ends on a cliffhanger

I hate the “Tryst Room”.
It just makes it awkward and weird. Like it’s bad enough there’s not much romance (if ya know what I mean 😉😉😉) but now it can only happen in one place? Except the baths. It just keeps anything from developing naturally.
I get why Sylas made it but also, there never needs to be expectations for anyone anywhere. They can make a move if they feel like it and she can shut them down if she doesn’t, and vice versa. Like a dedicated sex room where that’s the only place you can have sex takes all the spontaneity and seduction out of it.
Not point she’s in the bed with August and he wants her but since they’re in his room and not the “Tryst Room” he just goes to sleep. Like what if she wanted him too but didn’t want to make it weird by saying, hey let’s go walk over to that other sex room.
Which is exactly what happens later in the book with her and Sylas. They’re in his bed, making out. And he’s like, no expectations outside the tryst room and she’s like ok take me the the tryst room. Romance.
I ignored it for the first two books because I thought it would go away. But it’s not. I just. I cant.

So this book was TOTALLY better than the last one. The drama! The intrigue! The tension! I have no criticisms for the way the story was laid out, but all of it for the way it was written.
First of all, I’m really tired of the same phrases being used over and over and over. If you were reading this online and did ctrl+F to see how many times the phrases “ruddy”, “itching at my gums”, “warped”, etc were used, I guarantee that number would be over 20. I can’t imagine the number in all three of the first trilogy.
I really wish the author would expand their vocabulary rather than repeating the same words and phrases over and over. Also, repeating things we already know. Yes, we know Talia’s foot is “warped” and she gets pain from it. Do we really need to be reminded so many times about it and how she got that injury? Or do we need to be reminded every time Sylas is mentioned that he has a scar and a magic eye? Like, I get that they’re important, but it’s like the author thinks we’re dementia patients and can’t remember important parts of the story.
Those annoyances aside, I really liked this book. I think it’s the best out of the first three.

Kings of Moonlight is the third book in the Bound to the Fae series. This is a reverse harem tale with several males and one female. In this case our female is Talia, a human who was kidnapped as a child and brutally abused until she is rescued by our sexy seelie wolf shifters. Sylas, the lord of his cadre and his brothers, Whitt and August, have grown attached to Talia and have sworn to protect her from any harm. The two previous books have shown us the growing feeling between all our characters and yes there are some steamy moments to get you heart going. This book builds on the politics touched on in the earlier stories and all of the conflict and deception that goes go with them. I love watching Talia and how she responds to each of the brothers in different ways. We know that there are a few more books in this series and some additional fellows for our heroine. I myself can’t wait to find out where the tale goes next! As usual Ms Chase has succeeded in drawing us along in another fascinating adventure full of spice, sizzle and intrigue. Well done Eva. Well done.

actual rating - 4.25 stars.
another enjoyable book in this series. i’m glad it’s split up into shorter trilogies that have their own plots alongside the bigger connecting plot because it doesn’t feel like anything’s being dragged out. i actually really like the scheming and fae politics in this too.
some of the plot twists, like the Harper one, were fairly obvious. even the Whitt one - although i was shocked and upset for him about how it all went down - had occurred to me at least a whole book ago because of how secretive he was and the feelings he held towards Sylas.
but you don’t understand, the way i gasped at that ending!!! that’s one heck of a plot twist and cliffhanger. what does it mean for our gal Talia and her loveable fae men?? it’s surely gonna go one of two ways - either this Unseelie guy is gonna be raised to public enemy number one and we’re gonna hate him or he’ll also be loveable and there will be an addition to the reverse harem situation. i can’t wait to see where Eva takes us with the next book!

3.5⭐️ - still good and really enjoying it, seems lacking at times, not enough tension or build up around important moments.
Having their home in Hearthshire restored, Talia and the cadre venture to the old lands to begin renovations. While happy that their honor has been restored, they are now forced into the political arena and must navigate some difficult issues.
Arch-lord Donovan, the youngest among them, seems to be on their side. Having been open to Sylas’ suggestions, and willing to back him, the cadre hope they’ve found an ally there. On the other hand, arch-love Ambrose seems to be trying to undermine them at every turn. Sending his pack-kin to reside with Sylas and the cadre in the hopes of proving that Talia is better off in his care.
Political intrigue, war preparations, plots and schemes abound. Talia continues her learning of magic and her growth as a person, getting closer and closer to the cadre every day.
So good, the cliff hanger was rude and I’m off to find out what happened.

This world keeps getting better and better.
This book was even more focused on politics than the previous one. The political issues were mostly centered around Arch-Lord Ambrose and his kin.
The war against the unseelie raven shifters is still on going but it took a backstage font for now( but I am sure we will dive back in, with even more angst and tension)
The world building is outstanding, we have a lot of details on the seelie world and even a few crumbs of information about the mysterious murk we haven't met yet , that we discover trough Talia eyes. She is becoming stronger, mentally as well as physically. She is starting to take more and more her role as the Lady of the Cadre.
The road she is on with her lovers isn't without bumps along it. We have still six books left and all I can say is I am eager for the next one.
Don't forget your seatbelt because we are served with a cliffhanger

Clear your night!
Kings of Moonlight is book 3 in the series. Want to read in order.
I am a huge fan of the series so far and loved this addition to it.
We pick up right after book 2. Enemies are drawing closer. They need to lean on each other even more than before. I read this story in one night - I couldn't put it down until the last word. The action and tension builds until the very end.
I adore how we get to be in each main characters' head throughout the story. It helps build the emotion and devotion they come to show. The danger is real and hard decisions need to be made. It warms my heart how the 4 of them being together makes each one better. The question is how long will it last.
I was impressed with the twists and turns. Even as a loyal fan, I didn't see them coming. A suprise ending that has me craving book 4. Can't get enough!
I received an advanced copy of this story and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Talia (the FMC) and the Boyz have been unexiled by the Fae arch-lords, and are now settling into their old caste.
Talia tries to make herself useful, but it turns out a lot of the other Fae either want to unalive her or steal her away to use her magical blood to cure a mysterious curse that's affecting them all. Needless to say, it's keeping them all quite busy.
On top of this, there's an impending war with the evil Unseelie in the background, as well. I found because of these two storylines, there was a lot of Fae politics going on and, unfortunately, my attention span waned from time to time.
🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
✨ Why choose ♀️♂️♂️♂️
✨ Multiple POVs
✨ Fae magic 💫
✨ Found family
✨ Shifters
However, Talia has finally sealed the deal with her three handsome and protective shifter-daddies. Happily ever after, right? Wrong! The cliffhanger had me on the edge of my seat and I'll definitely be moving onto book 4.
