Book Summary:

Guardian of the stars, slayer of the wicked, and commander of internal darkness…

Adeena Devna finds herself the lone survivor of Astrari after a massacre was orchestrated by King Demir, the fae ruler of Tartarus. Abducted by the Royal Guard, Adeena is brought to King Demir as a potential human bride. An attack within the castle leaves the king dead at the hands of Adeena. Her escape from the kingdom is unexpectedly aided by Dreyden, the formidable yet handsome High Lord of Fire Court.

Ancient gold stars mark Adeena’s skin, a rare genetic mutation passed through villagers of Astrari. The dormant stars ignite as guarded feelings for Dreyden combust into a blazing passion. A connection from Dreyden’s past steps forward with critical information regarding Adeena’s ancestors.

Wicked trouble brews in the night sky as Adeena explores her destiny. All fingers point to the newly crowned king of Tartarus, Erebus. Adeena and Dreyden must return to Tartarus to fulfill a prophecy of the stars and stop King Erebus or risk losing the Gods forever, allowing the eternal night to take reign.

Crown of Blood and Stars is a fast-paced fantasy romance with Greek mythology influence. You may enjoy this book if you like the following tropes:

• One bed
• Fae smut
• Fated mates
• The chosen one
• Enemies to lovers
• Touch her and die

My Thoughts:

I fell in love with this book from the start. Adeena is such a feisty and passionate MFC. She leaps right in to do the right things. Then there is Dreyden the MMC. He is fae, sexy, and dominant. He is supposed to be this evil ruthless ruler but he's not evil at all. He cares about his people and is ready to defend them. These two have a connection right from the minute they meet. That connection leads them to a great love story. This book has great world-building and characters. I look forward to the next book in the series, The Lady of the Lost Fae.

P.S. If you like fantasy romance this could be the book for you. I highly recommend it and have already downloaded Book 2.
