A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows

Product Information

It also tried very hard to be sexy, but the more the author tried, the cringier it got, so I'll rule that one out. The premise must got you thinking that you're in for one hot, spicy, forbidden romance but I’d say this book lacks tension and happened to be one of the blandest books I’ve read.

Who knows when her dad actually died or why the hatred of her mother went so deep - all I'm garnering from the information I'm being given is Adara is a dumbass whose vagina has completely taken over any sense she may have possessed.I wouldn't say AKOSAS (an acronym too pretty for a book so mediocre, in my humble opinion) is a bad book, it's just painfully underdeveloped. The queen is watching me,” I whispered, and Evren simply lifted his stained fingers and ran one over the other before my room was clouded in darkness.

They are captured by the Blood Court guards and Queen who reveals that Evren is her son and the crown prince of the Blood Court and the best reveal during this entire adventure. USA Today bestselling author of contemporary romance, Holly Renee brings readers a pinch of angst, an indulgence of heat, and the perfect amount of heart in every book. I saw the twists coming from a mile away, but it was still interesting to get through them to see how Adara would react as she was the one that was completely clueless while for the readers the clues were laid out for us throughout the book. You can definitely see she struggles to figure out who to trust and allow in while also trying to learn about a new land. However, it is Evren his half older brother (also captain of the guard) who she is connected to and falls for.Overall, it’s a quick read that’s mildly entertaining but I would not compare it at all to ACOTAR or Blood and Ash as some of the other reviews do. I mean, it's eerily close to From Blood and Ash (book 1) if you substitute the word "Maiden" with "Starblessed.
