Nineteen-year-old Karis has been blind since birth, but for some reason, she can see through the wall of smoke that separates the human lands from those of the Faeries that rule in grand courts on the other side. Most of the time, the only thing she can see on the other side of the wall is the swipe of a tail or the trailing of a bony hand along the surface. But one day, a handsome faerie appears and sweeps her away into his world—a world that is being ravaged by an evil so dark and deadly, she fears she may never see her home again.
Loftin is a bounty hunter and he has been searching for Karis since she went missing from the Court of Ash. He needs to return her and collect the ransom. But the longer they travel together and the more he teaches her about what she is now able to see, the more difficult he finds the thought of letting her go. A fiery passion ignites between them, but with a monster tracking their every move, they must find a way to reach the Court of Ash before it kills them both.
REVIEW
I am loving fairy tale retellings. This is such a fun twist on Snow White. And this book has fae in it!
As with all of Casey L Bond's paranormals I find it so easy to slip into another place. A place that comes straight from her imagination. She creates this world with all these beings and magical aspects. This place is filled with fae and monsters and witches.
"When the smoke grows thin, the beasts come in."
I so loved Loftin and Karis. It's just such a good YA Fantasy. You get some little pieces of Snow White in there but it is so much more than what could be guessed going in. I really enjoyed reading this book.
"Calm down Karis, you're beautiful." he judged quietly, his eyes boring into mine. "And being fae isn't anything you need to be ashamed of or feel bothered about. Your skin is flawless." He stopped and brushed a finger down my cheek and back across my jaw. "Your eyes are clear and bright, and your lips..." He shook his head. "I shouldn't think about those. Your lips are pure torture to a fae male. And if they didn't drive a male mad with hunger, your scent would."
