How does Ada score books? →

When mortal huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, she is taken to the magical land of Prythian by a faerie named Tamlin — and what begins as captivity slowly becomes something far more complicated. Sarah J. Maas weaves Beauty and the Beast with Celtic mythology to create a world of dangerous glamour, political intrigue, and smouldering romance. The novel builds to a mythologically rich climax that rewards readers who love high stakes alongside their heat. Though the series grows progressively darker and more explicit, this entry is a lush, compulsively readable fairy-tale romance.
