Listening to the NEW graphic audiobook version with a FULL cast 🙌🏼

Summary from Amazon

Perfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and George R.R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!

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

As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she’s been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow over the faerie lands is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin–and his world–forever

Thought I had a reading blog but 🙅🏼‍♀️, so notes 👇🏼

Check-ins/Updates:

Before I begin:

🤔 a story about a 2nd son…Lady Kathryn needs to marry someone titled… I’m sure that’s not abnormal for the time… 🤨 Read Lorraine Heath before, excited for more 😁

Chapter 6

Fast enjoyable read 😁 Relatively light but touches on Griff’s POV as a 2nd son 🤔

• Read this yesterday as part of the historical romance readathon 😁 but broke up my notes according to the chapter break downs 😉 Fun we meet Kingsland early 👌🏼 Letters sound like collage personal statements 🤣 Like Kathryn’s boldness ✊🏽 Frenemies 👍🏽 descriptor 🤗 || Didn’t get the Day of the Duchess vibes until 👆🏼||

Chapter 11

Interesting developments 🤔 Kathryn won Kingsland’s letter writing contest (without entering), Griff’s family scandalized 😮 😱 Griff starting to collect on debts 💸 Kingsland-Kathryn spending time together (🙅🏻‍♀️ fireworks 🎆) 🧐 Sure Kathryn will get her cottage by marrying Griff 😍 and Griff will open the fair and spare’s club but how will it happen?!

• Lost my spot on the thread 🙏🏾

Chapter 14

3rd act conflict 😱 Kathryn captured and Griff kicks a** 👊🏼 Griff injured 🤕 😱 Caretaking 🤞🏼🙏🏾 Got a little 😏 at an oceanside cottage 😁 Hits major insecurities by 🤚🏽 then leaving 😱

• Visits Fair and Spare 😏 11 months later 🤔 I like the action sequences 🙌🏽 Wilheimina is a good character 👍🏽 I say we can count Kathryn being taken from the carriage as a kidnapping* 😁✌🏽 The duke’s finally back 😊 Kathryn is a woman ahead of her time ✊🏽

End of book 📖

No sex scene until Chapter 20. One night only 🤬 I understand both their POVs, Griff wants Kathryn to get her cottage while Kathryn wants Griff 🤔 ✊🏽 Katheryn’s proposal 🫶🏼 Epilogue atypical 🙌🏽 and a sweet glimpse of their family 🥰

Summary: Kathryn is stipulated the inheritance of a cottage in exchange for marrying a peer 🤔 but Griff is a 2nd son 😱
