"I was grated an offer from NetGalley to read this and review it for them. Thank you so much for that NetGalley. I absolutely loved this book. When they said it was like the cruel prince and The Selection mixed I just had to read it. I love books about fae and I love the competition aspect. I love how Ivy had to compete for the Fae Princes hand and all the deals and twists and turns that came with it. Such an amazing book. I can’t wait for it to be published so others can read it as well. I will swiftly be getting my own copy of this."

"The premise was interesting and the characters were very well written. I loved going on this adventure with the main character, and watching the events unfold. I liked it that it was compelling, there were a few moments that had me feeling emotional. When it says “dark romance” it DEFINITELY means dark as in tragic and full of struggle lol but I think it just made the story feel more relatable. Especially when it comes to the complexity of relationships between family, friends, and lovers."
