The instant New York Times bestseller Can you love the dark when you know what it hides? Some things aren’t supposed to exist outside of our imagination. Thirteen years ago, monsters emerged from the shadows and plunged Kierse’s world into a cataclysmic war of near-total destruction. The New York City she knew so well collapsed practically overnight. In the wake of that carnage, the Monster Treaty was created. A truce...of sorts. But tonight, Kierse―a gifted and fearless thief―will break that treaty. She’ll enter the Holly Library...not knowing it’s the home of a monster. He’s charming. Quietly alluring. Terrifying . But he knows talent when he sees it; it’s just a matter of finding her price. Now she’s locked into a dangerous bargain with a creature unlike any other. She’ll sacrifice her freedom. She’ll offer her skills. Together, they’ll put their own futures at risk. But he’s been playing a game across centuries―and once she joins in, there will be no escape... The Oak & Holly Cycle is an epic five-book romantasy saga best experienced in order. Reading Order: Book #1 The Wren in the Holly Library Book #2 The Robin on the Oak Throne Book #3 The Raven at the Ash Door

Review: Great Book - A joining of street smarts and classic knowledge. In a world where magic, myth, and humans collide. A subtle retelling of Beauty and the Beast wrapped in an elaborate plot full of twists and turns. With a morally grey beast MMC and badass heroine who flourishes and comes into her own. While challenging her beast in ways he never suspected. An enticing read I’m happy crossed my path.
Review: Entertaining Story with Monsters, Magic & touches of Celtic lore - Monsters have come out of hiding, and the world is ever altered. When a desperate thief takes a job to steal a diamond from the library of one of NYC's wealthiest, she gets more than she bargains for. Turns out, the owner of said diamond is actually an ancient and powerful "monster." Instead of taking his vengeance on her, he makes a counter-offer that's too good to refuse. This was an interesting collaboration of a dystopian world with magic, monsters and elements of celtic folklore. Our heroine has had a rough life as an orphan, struggling to survive, along with her two best friends. The writing had a few issues from plot holes, unbelievable situations of seemingly miraculous recovery post-injury, and weakly written side characters. Likeable, sure - but felt more of an afterthought to the main story. Graves promises training as a bargaining chip to ensure her safety, but he deals in riddles, deception and an air of distrust - making it hard to truly LIKE him...nevertheless, While the beginning of the story was extremely entertaining, I began to get frustrated in the second half of the book. While there was diversity in monsters, we didn't really get much more than species-name-dropping with the exception of Vampires, Werewolves and a couple magic user types. I really would've loved more intensity in the danger, instead it fell flat. I was dismayed that any complications that our characters faced were too easily resolved, and the use of "Interludes" throughout the book felt a bit jarring from the story at hand, rather than to simply have multiple POV's written into the main story to fill in all the gaps I was eager for. Furthermore, the true significance of "the wren" in symbol and name isn't clearly explained, other than that there's an ancient history that references the title. I DID appreciate that this wasn't a Romantasy of just 🌶️S🌶️M🌶️U🌶️T🌶️ but that it actually had a story to it. That being said, there could've been a bit more built up & depth (no pun intended) to the relationship between MFC & MMC. By the end of the story, we end up with a LOT of unanswered questions....which our main heroine sets off to seek answers for - away from the manipulations of the quasi-love interest, the semi-triangle love interest(???), and different paths for characters who were set up to be more important to the MFC. The finale of a mysterious phone call to Graves by an unknown entity that teases readers to set up for the next book was a lazy way to rev up the next book. (Which of course, I had already pre-ordered when I bought this copy - so, because I'm not a quitter, I'll be reading it too.) I am a bit confused by the number of poor reviews I've perused. While the story did utilize familiar tropes, had a few plot holes, and ultimately could've been much longer with more details added - it felt more like a set up for the next book (another common thing in the Romantasy genre where the 1st book isn't as good as the next one(s) in the series. Was it THE BEST book I've ever read? Certainly not, but I'm happy with my purchase and will be glad to have this story (and the next) remain in my personal library.
