Kate’s wish to disappear from her life comes true as she rescues an owl who is a dark fae king. Kate cannot take the emotional abuse of her stepmother anymore and storms off in her car but an owl flies into it. As she saved his life, he grants her this wish and takes her away to his fae kingdom. If she wants to go back home, she has to solve his labyrinth or she will be his – forever.

I wish this was book longer. The plot and the characters were shallow. There could’ve been more depth to Roan and Kate. Their love didn’t feel „real“. We hadn’t had time to get to know Roan. His past and present story were just rushed over. I also think we would’ve benefited from a slow burn romance instead of this instant attraction.

I would’ve liked to see more of the fae world and explore their politics. The danger of war didn’t feel threatening.

It was still an entertaining read but it threw me off a couple of times. It felt like I only got snippets of the story and there was so much more to explore. This is a standalone, so I get the rush. But I still wish for more.

3/5. ⭐
