These seemingly innocent people offer to lead Frost and Bunt to the "Battery", a sacred place that is free from disease. The king spontaneously visiting a dive bar in the human realm to have a drink, the lack of guards at the palace, him doing servants‘ tasks like waking up Ava and bringing her coffee, being chill with people first-naming him.

Alone since her mother's death, she has one constant her fiancé when he betrays her Ava is heartbroken swearing off love and it’s this decision that paves her way forward. I’ve been reading this book during my holiday and I was just waiting for some time off to get back to it.The characters are compelling, from Frost herself, to her robot servant, Bunt, to the memories that are/were her father, to the overlords who run the world she enters. Then again, I haven’t read as many books as I would like, and this is one of the first zombie type books that I have decided to read. The plot is not bad and we know with Eva being an outcast and left in the human world there will be more than meets the eye with her and it's just when will that come out. The guys are sometimes clueless, and not only give us plenty of laughs, but also make us want to just reach out and hug them. As Frost and his team dig deeper, everything seems to lead back to Ivan Fielding’s murky lifetime of misdeeds.

Kazlowsky (The Dyerville Tales) subverts the typical chosen one narrative in this creepy middle grade fantasy.

I want more of that emotional jumble with the curry scene—this was hilarious, I won’t spoil more—not this ridiculous back and forth that makes Ava look silly and in the wrong. The trials are bloody and brutal but then there are your more bachelorette scenes with one on one dinners and dances. Overall, I definitely recommend this if you want something fun that provides a sexy twist on The Bachelor with a high fantasy fae romance.Ava has not lived in the fae world since being a child, the human world is her home now but when she doesn't fall to her knees like the others in adoration it starts a war of words between the two and Ava's just shit faced enough to take this pretty boy down a couple of pegs!
