My Review:
4.5 Out Of 5 Stars
Genre: Another-World, Audiobook, Mystery, Reverse Harem, Romance, Royal-Court, Supernatural, Suspense--
Olivia's mom died suddenly and now she lives on the street instead of with her jerk of a step-father who never wanted kids. She just wants to get through her senior year of high school and keep her secret of being homeless. One night Olivia literally runs into Jace, a mysterious, attractive stranger that she wants nothing to do with- a stranger that ends up kidnapping her and bringing her to a new realm where dragons are real, and she can't leave.
This was so much fun! It was an incredibly fast read (listen) only 180 pages in book form and less than five hours on audio so I ended up listening to it in one day since I enjoyed listening to it and I wanted to know what would happen next. The pacing was engaging and Olivia seemed so real to me, even in the face of some crazy unrealistic situations.
Yes, this is a reverse harem (with four very different yet super attractive dragon princes!) but the main character is only 17 and still technically in high school (do you still have to finish school when you now live in another world??). While there was a teeny tiny bit of steam with some kissing and a little bit of groping, the story was pretty chaste, which I enjoy the characters actually having a chance to develop a relationship before any sexy time occurs. I am sure the next book will ramp up the heat but I would be perfectly ok if it stayed right here.
While there was the romance aspect, the story was not just about that. Instead there were battles and magic, some super creepy creatures and legends, as well as world building and a curse to unravel- so basically never a dull moment. Also, the narrator is hands down one of my favorite audiobook narrators, I will pick up a book just because she narrates, and I love how she brings the characters to life and sets the perfect scene. In case you can't tell, I found this super enjoyable and I can't wait to read (hopsefully listen!) to the rest of the books in the series.
