I’m a sucker for a protective alpha male type love interest and this book had that in spades. The slower pace made it feel all the more real. The slow burn romance in this book had me falling in love right alongside the characters. I could honestly read this book just for their little interactions with one another.įor some people (including myself), it is all about the romance. Their relationship said so much about who Jesse was as a person and really brought her character to life. Jesse’s little brother although only playing a minor role was one of my favorite characters in the whole book. She is determined to find her parents and bring them home, even if that means putting her life in danger.

Despite being worried out of her mind, inexperienced, and out of her element, she doesn’t give up. She is by no means fearless but her action in spite of her fears is inspiring. Jesse is a protagonist that anyone can love and respect. The mixture of familiar and unfamiliar was tackled so well by the author and made the book all the more interesting. The world of Fae and magic met modern day New York in this book and the combination was full of excitement and intrigue. Speaking of the characters, this book was filled with interesting and complex characters who were developed seamlessly throughout the book. I was simply that captivated by the story and the characters. I’m an avid re-reader of my favorite books and some I’ve even read up to fifteen times, but I have never done this before. and instead of sleeping I was re-reading a book that I’d literally just read five minutes ago. As soon as I finished the book all I wanted to do was read it again! It was 3a.m. I am not kidding when I say I read this book in one sitting early into the a.m. I am in love with her other series but this book was honestly even better. This new book, which came out recently this May, bumped Karen Lynch from one of my top authors to possibly my favorite author of all time.

Karen Lynch writes young adult supernatural books, her most famous series being the Relentless trilogy. And that is saying something because I read A LOT of books. This was, by far, my favorite book of 2020 thus far. In this world of magic and deception, it’s hard to tell her allies from her enemies in the race to find her parents before their time runs out. In her quest, she encounters all manner of Fae, but the scariest is Lukas, the mysterious, imposing faerie who offers to help her find her parents.īut there are powerful forces at work, and Jesse is about to become a player in a dangerous game that could decide the fate of everyone she loves. Jesse’s only concern is how to pay for college, but that changes the night her parents disappear.Įquipped with her parents’ weapons and her own smarts, Jesse enters the dangerous world of bounty hunting in search of her mother and father. Jesse James is a normal eighteen-year-old, even if her parents are the best faerie bounty hunters in New York.
