Review: Kiss the Fae – Natalia Jaster (Vicious Faeries #1)

Synopsis

There are three rules to surviving the Fae—and I’m about to break every single one.

Rule #1. Never cross into Faerie.

When I’m chased across the enchanted border and caught by its sinister ruler of the sky, the pretty trickster with a clever tongue offers me a deal.

Rule #2: Never bargain with a Fae.

But I don’t have a choice. For thirteen days, I have to survive in his mountainous maze of crooked bridges, deceptive stairways, and devious inhabitants. Refuse, and my sisters will suffer as punishment.

Rule #3: Never fall for the enemy.

I should have known my sexy captor wouldn’t play fair. The deeper I plunge into this dangerous world of Solitary Fae, the more I’m entangled in their ruler’s seductive web of desire—and the forbidden temptations he offers.

The price of losing this wicked game is everything I love. But winning might just cost me my heart.

Step into the Dark Fables World, where defiant mortals and deceitful faeries clash. Kiss the Fae is the first book in Natalia Jaster’s romantic fantasy series, Vicious Faeries. If you like slow burns, enemies-to-lovers, angst with heart, and magical plot twists, get ready for a book hangover.

NA/new adult: sexual content and language. For mature readers 18+.

Review

I’m continuing my unexpected fantasy romance binge with yet another amazing story: Kiss the Fae. This one is the first of what I’m assuming will be a trilogy(?) and it tells the story of three sisters who end up having to fight for their lives against three faerie brothers. In this world, faeries are not kind or pleasant, but instead are known to be vicious and vengeful. Each of the brothers rule a specific element of their land: the air, the forest, and the river.

In Kiss the Fae, the readers are introduced primarily to Lark, the fiesty and “mutinous” heroine, and Cerulean, the devious anti-hero.

Lark is such a badass, strong and independent character. She loves her sisters more than anything and would do anything for their safety. She fights for her life and the lives of her sisters (and adoptive father), and she learns to stay true to herself throughout the story. Based on her point of view, it seems like Lark is very different from her sisters (despite shared traits) and I loved getting to know her, just as I know I’m going to love getting to know Juniper and Cove as well.

Cerulean was a fantastic anti-hero! Right from the moment Cerulean entered the picture, I kept alternating between being shocked by the devious words and sneaky actions of the hero, and smirking at my e-reader because the sexual tension and subtle flirting was steamy! The build-up between Cerulean and Lark was so much fun to witness, and I loved every minute.

Outside of the relationship, it was really intriguing to get to know this story’s world: the other faeries, the fauna, the mountain and magic. It was incredibly creative and complex, and I can’t wait to see how the rest of the series develops further. Overall, I thought this story was fantastic and I’m looking forward to checking out Jaster’s other books soon.

Please note: This story is considered New Adult and contains mature scenes; therefore, it’ll be categorised on my blog as Paranormal Romance (including Fantasy) rather than Young Adult.
