From Goodreads:

True names hold power. Fae cannot lie. And the women they steal become their brides. 

When threadwitch Ariadne is taken by a fae lord as part of a centuries-old bargain, she expects to marry him whether she likes it or not. But, desperate to return home, she won’t give in easily. Even if Lysander claims he doesn’t want her hand in marriage but for its skill with needle and the threads of magic, everyone knows the fae are not to be trusted.

Plotting her escape, she sews spells into cloth and tries her hardest to ignore his charms as well as the fae realm’s equally alluring beauty. 

But she soon discovers his world is as dangerous as it is beautiful. With dark creatures in the forest and enemies who wear friendship as a mask, Ariadne must make every stitch perfect if she wants to not only escape but also keep Lysander alive. Which, it turns out, is something she wants far more than she ever expected.

About the book:

What do you do when you thought it was all over, only to realize it's all just begun? 

I died. 

I looked into Rogan Kendrick’s eyes, told him I loved him…and then I died. 

So how the hell am I standing naked in the middle of a morgue, doing my best not to freak the fuck out? 

I’m a Bone Witch, or at least I was before Rogan bound us together. Blood magic now flows through my veins too, and I think somehow the man I shouldn’t love, the one who betrayed me, who couldn’t choose me…has saved me. 

If the High Counsel finds out they’ll hunt us, and they won’t be the only ones. A certain bastard demon did promise to see me soon.

THE JASMINE THRONE (Burning Kingdoms #1)

by Tasha Suri

Date Published: June 8, 2021; Orbit

From Goodreads:

Author of Empire of Sand and Realm of Ash Tasha Suri's The Jasmine Throne, beginning a new trilogy set in a world inspired by the history and epics of India, in which a captive princess and a maidservant in possession of forbidden magic become unlikely allies on a dark journey to save their empire from the princess's traitor brother. 

Imprisoned by her dictator brother, Malini spends her days in isolation in the Hirana: an ancient temple that was once the source of the powerful, magical deathless waters — but is now little more than a decaying ruin. 

Priya is a maidservant, one among several who make the treacherous journey to the top of the Hirana every night to clean Malini’s chambers. She is happy to be an anonymous drudge, so long as it keeps anyone from guessing the dangerous secret she hides. 

ARC Review: GLEAM (The Plated Prisoner #3) by Raven Kennedy

GLEAM (The Plated Prisoner #3)

by Raven Kennedy

Date Published: May 31, 2021

From Goodreads:

King Midas made me the woman I am today. Notorious. Unattainable. His. 

The thing about being confined is that you believe it’s to keep the bad out... Until you realize it’s about keeping you in. 

I’m now in a strange kingdom surrounded by liars, with no allies of my own, but I won’t sit idly by and let myself wither. No, there’s something that’s bloomed from the pit of my repression. Something dark. Something angry. 

But the last thing I expected was for my anger to call out to him. King Ravinger. 

He’s sinister and powerful and entirely too seductive. I’ve learned my lesson with trusting manipulative kings, so why does my chest constrict every time he’s near? I need to tread carefully, or I’m at risk of losing much more than just my freedom.
