Synopsis:
The end of an Empire, The rise of a Queen.
Emory Fae enjoys leading a quiet, normal life. That is until two mysterious, and handsome soldiers show up at her apartment, and the life she knew is instantly whisked away. Memphis Carter and Brokk Foster come from the magical and war ridden world of Kiero, and upon Emory’s arrival she will discover she is the long lost heir to the Royal Line and is thrown into the Black Dawn Rebellion with a dynamic role to ignite the rebels and reclaim her throne.
With both men being darkly woven in her past Emory uncovers hidden secrets, a power held long dormant, and will soon realize there are worse things than supernatural humans, love, loss, betrayal, and a Mad King.
Some things are better left in the shadows.
I was given a free copy of this by the fabulous and sweet author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you again, Mal, for giving me the chance to read your amazing debut novel. It was brilliant!
Here we go!
”To have lost everything but have hope to rebuild the future is the strongest weapon in the world.”
Emory Fae is the last living heir of the Fae family, and the answer to the Academy’s problems with one man—nay, self-proclaimed (mad) king of Kiero, a planet with people who have extraordinary abilities. Only problem? Emory is thought to be dead, but is she really?
Thankfully not, but with her being alive becomes a whole other cluster. Oops.
I’ll leave it at that because I don’t want to give away too many spoilers. Honestly though? You guys need to read this book, especially if you really enjoy The Mortal Instruments and X-Men, then I’m sure you’re going to fall in love with this story and characters as I have. There are devious (and freaking CREEPY) faeries, witches, a gent with the ability to travel through time (and across worlds)
Black Dawn is a pretty fast book for one so short. The story is engaging and I couldn’t help but fall in love with the fabulous Brokk (you have to read this to understand why I’m so in love with this gent. MAN.) And I’m very conflicted on how I feel about our baddie Adair. I’m on the fence about him. Sometimes I hated him, sometimes I felt a little sorry for him. Once or twice I thought he should have been locked in a mental asylum. And as for Memphis? Hmmmm. I didn’t love him as much as I loved Brokk (and that plot twist! UGH.) Something just bothered me about Memphis. He just … hmm, I can’t put it into words. I kept having this feeling that his role would change throughout the story.
I can’t wait for the next installment. I need to know what happens next!!
