Book Summary:
He’s supposed to be my salvation, but he might just become my ruin.
I’m a prisoner in my own castle. Trapped by my apple-loving narcissist of a stepmother, desperate for my betrothed to rescue me.
Yet it’s not my one true love who comes—it’s the king of thieves.
He takes my stepmother’s mirror, the source of her power, but leaves with an additional treasure: me.
Now I’ve traded one prison for another. Penn Vanderbilt is cunning, captivating, and completely insufferable. He’s also secretive about his stolen goods . . . and the reason he kidnapped me.
Forget the thief’s plan. I’ve got one of my own: pretend to go along with his little scheme while plotting my escape.
I’ll only have to con the greatest con man alive. Never mind that I might be falling for him. The price of failing is my kingdom. But succeeding might just cost my heart.
Mirror of Malice is book one in Stolen Crowns, a series of steamy standalone but interconnected fairytale retellings. This enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract book is perfect for fans of banter, (very) snarky heroines, and slow-burn fantasy romance.
My Thoughts:
Mirror of Malice is a unique fairytale retelling with Snow White / Robin Hood vibes. This story is full of snarky humor, fun characters, and magical intrigue. Liliath the FMC is funny, sexy, and a pain in the rear end. She wants to be the best Queen possible for her kingdom. Then bring in Penn the MMC the King of Thieves. He is sexy, snarky, and has a will of his own. He pushes all of Liliath's buttons. But is it all just a game so he gets what he wants in the end?
I loved the world-building with the magical elements and the slow-burn romance between Liliath and Penn. I also loved that you got to see glimpses of other characters involved in the story to make the series interesting to the end.
P.S. If you love a slow-burn romantic fantasy with a fairytale vibe this could be for you.
