Melissa Marr returns to faery in a dramatic story of the precarious space between two worldsand the people who must thrive there. The combination of ethereal fae powers, tumultuous romance, and a bloodthirsty faery queen will have longtime fans and new readers alike at the edge of their seats.Lilywhite Abernathy is a criminalshe's half human, half fae, and since the time before she was born her very blood has been illegal. A war has been raging between humans and faeries, and the Queen of Blood and Rage, ruler of the fae courts, wants to avenge the tragic death of her heir due to the actions of reckless humans. Lily's father has always shielded her from the truth, but when she's sent to the prestigious St. Columba's school, she's delivered straight into the arms of a fae Sleeper cellthe Black Diamonds. The Diamonds are planted in the human world as the sons and daughters of the most influential families, and tasked with destroying it from within.

I‘m normally not one for fantasy books, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as well as the sequel One Blood Ruby( which I just finished for #BookFitnessChallenge) ♥️

@wanderinglynn

Clwojick @Bookjunkie57 I know! I tend to pick up books based off of their cover. I don‘t even know what this one is about 😂 5y
ShananigansReads @Clwojick I am also guilty of this. 5y

I can‘t. I‘m only 25% of the way in and the characters are already annoying me.

I'm just about halfway through this one and it's really just not thrilling me. I mean, not everyone can be Holly Black, but I had high hopes.

Laalaleighh The second one is not better. 8y
Megpyre @Laalaleighh, that's unfortunate. I so very much enjoyed her other faerie series, despite its occasional heavy handedness. 8y

I ended up really liking this! It was a nice lighthearted entertaining read that kept me interested in the story the whole time. I enjoyed the premise and the world building. I already ordered the next one from the library even though I have a million library books TBR on my nightstand!

Excited to start this for something a little different and (hopefully) less intense then what I've been reading lately!

Gossip Girl if all the characters were deadly faerie spies and assassins. I mean, definitely not edifying, highbrow literature, but sometimes we all need a bit of brain candy.

Let's face it, you could write a book about faerie calculus professors and I would still probs enjoy it.

🦋✨

One quibble: there were like, seven POV, and looking back I feel like all the voices were similar. However that didn't keep me from enjoying the story.

julesG Brain candy sounds good. Like that word. 8y
LauraBeth Faerie calculus professors 😂 8y
Laalaleighh @julesG that's what I think of lighter less literary books as haha. 8y
Laalaleighh @LauraBeth there have to be some out there somewhere right? They can't all go around being badass magical world saving beings. 8y

Everyone posts pictures of Creepy Jesus when they visit New Orleans. I finally got to see it last night when Melissa Marr took us on a walking tour of the city. #nolastorycon

BookishFeminist Oh Jesus (literally) 8y
readinginthedark I crashed before dark, but were you on the earlier tour, too? Because I was! 😊 8y
johnnie_cakes @readinginthedark We weren't on one of the official tours. We got in late with all the books and were just out walking and chilling 8y
readinginthedark @johnnie_cakes Oh, yeah we just got there five minutes before the first one! But I'll be around for the rest of the con, so you should find me and say hi! I'll be the one with light blue hair and dark roots hanging out with my red-headed friend! And my first name is Hannah. 8y

I've read every book Melissa Marr has ever written, but this one takes me back to why I fell in love with her writing in the first place. I cannot wait to read more in the series.

8/10
I loved the whole idea of the story! Fae 👼🏾vs Humans👱🏼
I was worried that the missing heir to the Throne was Lilywhite, but it was her mother..which is better
The Seven Black Diamonds are more connected than before as a family than a terrorist group. I wonder if there'll be a second book 🤔

I'm on page 366 right now and everything seems to have a happy ending with Lily agreeing to be the heir to the fae kingdom.
But what's going to happen when there's only 8 pages left!!! 😱😱😱

I love Melissa Marr, but this book & audio just aren't grabbing me. I'm not connecting to the futuristic fey politics.
