House of Fae and Mist

Shades of Ruin and Magic, Book 2

By: Meg Xuemei X

Narrated by: Victoria Mei

I have no intention of being anyone’s bride, let alone fighting tooth and nail to get there.

All the vicious catfights in the school nauseate me. I have bigger things to worry about, like being hunted by my father, who’s getting closer every day.

Yet no one leaves me alone. The princes believe I’m playing hard to get, so they pursue me fiercely. When they realize that I’m not as ambitious or smitten as the other girls, they place a bet—whoever claims my virginity takes it all.

Their stupid vanity game paints a target on my back—all the bride candidates join forces to come after me, cleverly planning my demise. I might be an apex predator, but I’m one against a thousand of the meanest “coyotes.”

To make sure I live through the game, Killian offers to train me. The chemistry between us cuts through every obstacle and tears down our own defenses.

We should know what’s good for us. We should stay the hell away from each other. He’s still the forbidden fruit. If I taste him, we’ll burn, and the world will burn with us.

But I can’t stop...

An intelligently written comedic paranormal story with some very decent steam? SIGN ME UP! I'm loving this series!! So glad book 3 is out and ready for me to devour. I'm not going to think about how sad I'll be when that book's finished...

The narration -- full of sparkle and sass -- is perfect for the text. I cannot imagine how it could be improved.

Fabulous story!

Wow, this series just keeps getting better and better! I found this story to be very well written. This book has action, mystery, adventure, intrigue and very interesting/ entertaining. The content of this book is definitely not intended for customers under the age of 18.
I enjoyed listening to this story. The narrator does a magnificent job with the story. She does a wonderful job with the characters and their voice making it easy to distinguish between the characters.
I definitely recommend this book. It is so good!
