Warrior Fae Princess

“The lion, the yeti, and the dingy hotel suite,” Charity said as Devon ran right. “One wonders why that never became a beloved children’s book.”

“The time will come when you need to make a choice. ...—to give her a life—you must take the hard road,...”

My Rating:

Recommended 4.5 star fantasy paranormal romance novel. Charity and Devon are our protagonist and co-protagonist in a continuation of the Warrior Fae series, the eighth novel in the Demon Days, Vampire Night world. In this novel we are primarily trying to save Charity from herself. A quest novel.

Additionally, Ms. Breene is beginning to wrap up the multitude of "loose ends" in the Demon Days, Vampire Night world. Eight books into a series "highly recommending" is overkill. If you've read eight, you're mumbling to yourself at this point (04/01/2021), "Can you hurry up, Katie?" Be patient, there is a publish date for Book 9: Revealed in Fire.

Generally: --- Spoiler Line, cross at your own risk ---
Chairty is reaching her magic puberty and her magic is literally knocking people around. Her lack of control of her magic endangers herself and those around her. Much like any teenager, there's emotional chaos going on.

Further, her needy side, formed from abandonment, rejection, poverty, and abuse has found a comfy hole in Devon who has been assigned to protect her by his boss, Roger.

We already know (by this novel) that Devon is completely in love with Charity. He has been sexually conquered, and his manly ego boosted to ecstatic heights. His normal shallow, I've now conquered you, you're-no-longer-interesting love life is in tatters.

Charity however is a magical creature of little known variety and whose magical puberty is literally killing her. Devon's magic can get her through her magical hormone floods, but only by enduring excruciating pain. Devon must get her help, and he's not entirely certain who or what can help her.

In addition to being oblivious about her magic or how dangerous it is, Charity's abandonment issues won't allow her to hope "the Devon comfy hole love affair" will last, but she desperately wants it to.

Mix in one of the most powerful, seductive creatures in the Brink or the Realm as one antagonist, who is well known to be entirely self-serving, has decided she will belong to him, and the excitement rises. Charity sarcastically calls him, her BFF. Tragically, his reach, knowledge, and ability to gather resources and information may be her only hope to survive.

Likes and Dislikes:
Most my life I've avoided "romance" novels for the same reason I avoid "Lifetime movies". They're more addictive than heroin. Not joking! The reason folks feel like they're dying when someone they love dumps them is because they've just cut off the "love, emotion, pleasure hormones" which are more powerful than any opiate. They're evolutionary cement to assure the species survival. Nicotine is easier to quit compared to getting off those pleasure hormones, which romance novels produce quite easily. So, I'm a bit unnerved that Katie has taken a series that started with a strong female warrior with some "not terribly vivid sex" into the hot sex territory. I suppose it is a natural progression, but I wasn't prepared for it. Now I'm collecting and cashing in plastic to buy more K. F. Breene dope.

Conclusion:
I have entirely enjoyed the Demon Days, Vampire Night World series of trilogies. This novel in particular, literally kept me up all night. Even when the Epilogue concluded, I continued turning pages.

I suppose they don't make a patch to ease you off romance novels...
