When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a terrifying creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not truly a beast, but one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled her world.

At least, he’s not a beast all the time.

As she adapts to her new home, her feelings for the faerie, Tamlin, transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie she’s been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But something is not right in the faerie lands. An ancient, wicked shadow is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it, or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.

From bestselling author Sarah J. Maas comes a seductive, breathtaking book that blends romance, adventure, and faerie lore into an unforgettable read.

Jamie’s review

At this point, if you haven’t heard enough about ACOTAR, how??? It’s God Tier for a reason. More romance than fantasy, in my opinion, and definitely levels up on the smut as the books go on. But the characters are so rich and wide-ranging, you can’t help but to miss them when you put the books down (especially Rhysand, our OG shadow daddy).

I had some issues with the plot and some of the characters were entirely ignored, but as Erica said to me “we aren’t reading these for the plot, Jamie” 🙂 so just settle in, look past the eye-roll moments and enjoy this healthy dose of escapism. You’ll know by the end of this series if you enjoy spice or not, as it does get pretty spicy by the end.

Erica’s review

5 Star. God Tier. No Notes. Okay – I kid. I never shut up – so I obviously have notes. This was my gateway drug into the Romantasy world as a true adult woman. (Read: I read Twilight in my 20’s and nothing similar since.) I know people have trouble with book 1 in this series but NOT MEEEEE – I was hooked almost instantly. You can’t fool me SJM, I knew it was alllll too good to be true and the twists were a’ comin’.

And boy was I right! I was so obsessed with it all – the different Courts and beautiful world building, the character dynamics, the witty banter, the Bat Boys…. THE. BAT. BOYS. I’m a huge Nesta fan, (a bitch loves a bitch) and I definitely re-read ACOSF – IYKYK 😉 I will say, I know a general consensus is that book 1 is slow, but once you push through – 9/10 chance you’ll be hooked!

I honestly cannot wait to re-read the entire series when we get word on the book 6 release *hopefully* soon! If you are looking for a place to begin your Romantasy journey – I always recommend this series first. Thank me later. Or your partner can thank me. 😉
