REQUEST DETHRONED HERE
Description
For eighteen-year-old Rouen Rivoche, being a fairy princess isn’t about fancy parties and happily ever afters.
Rouen’s people are the dark Fae whose powers of lightning, thundersnow, and all things Winter make them cold, severe, and 100% intolerant of rebellion.
Too bad being a rebel is in Rouen’s blood.
Against tradition, she’s teamed up with Syl Skye, the sleeper-princess of the fair Fae—a mortal enemy who Rouen should want to kill but only wants to kiss. Plus, to be with Syl, Rouen’s masquerading as a glam goth-rock star and human high school student. Honestly, Rouen doesn’t think things could get any more complicated.
Then, she discovers she must become Queen of the Winter Court or all her people will die. No pressure.
Now, dark forces are amassing in the Winter Court, turning Rouen’s people against her and blocking her path to the throne. Even Syl with all her powers of white flame and Summer can’t stop this new kind of evil.
Because betrayal cuts close when it’s someone you love… and now it looks like Rouen’s going to be dethroned before she ever becomes queen.

GIE Reads: The Queen of Ieflaria
Synopsis:
Princess Esofi of Rhodia and Crown Prince Albion of Ieflaria have been betrothed since they were children but have never met. At age seventeen, Esofi’s journey to Ieflaria is not for the wedding she always expected but instead to offer condolences on the death of her would-be husband.
But Ieflaria is desperately in need of help from Rhodia for their dragon problem, so Esofi is offered a new betrothal to Prince Albion’s younger sister, the new Crown Princess Adale. But Adale has no plans of taking the throne, leaving Esofi with more to battle than fire-breathing beasts.
GIE’s Review
Lesbian princesses! Fighting dragons! Ruling a kingdom! And they’re kind of star-crossed! Plus, the pretty, pretty princess is super badass!
Wow. I really could not have loved this book more. The pacing was good, the action and emotion well developed, and the romantic arc was done well, front and center.
I loved all the interactions between Esofi and Adale, and their will she?/won’t she? romance.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now for SPOILER TERRITORY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, can I just talk about Esofi for a hot second here?
Holy shiz, you guys! This pretty, pretty princess kicks some major ass–both literal and figurative. Her voice was so rich and wonderful. The author did an amazing job developing her.
First, I just love Esofi’s attitude! She’s royal and gracious, never using her position to her advantage. Second, she’s very brave and capable and smart. She fights dragons, but she’s clever about it. (Also, the author let her get hurt in the final battle, which I liked/appreciated). Third, in contrast to her confidence in court, Esofi is pretty awkward in matters of the heart, which makes total sense for a woman who was arranged to be married since birth.
It also leads to some amazing scenes with her and Adale.
Speaking of… I loved every interaction between Esofi and Adale. Every scene with the two of them is fraught with angst and adorable awkwardness. They clearly have an initial spark, which I liked and was necessary considering they have a very push-pull type of romance.
Also, the lesbian relationship with two princesses marrying was normalized, something that I very much appreciated. No one bats an eyelash at the two marrying, although one foolish boy tries to stop it–perhaps my favorite scene. So. Amazing.
All in all, the book’s not perfect. I would have liked to have seen Adale arc a little bit more emotionally and externally, and I would have liked her to fight side by side with Esofi, but I’m very willing to wait for these things to happen.
There’s always Book 2! I’ll be preordering it the second it’s available.

Circuit Fae 3: Pinterest Boards!
Today, I’d like to share my inspiration boards for the signature characters of INIMICAL.
Of course, fair Fae sleeper-princess, Syl Skye is back along with her girlfriend, dark Fae princess-assassin, Rouen Rivoche (aka, goth rockstar, Euphoria).
Also returning is the villainous Prince of the fair Fae, Aldebaran(ooh, just love to hate him). Roue’s dad, King Reinghûl of the dark Fae, is also back.
Plus…wait for it…now that I’ve revealed more about Syl & Roue’s mysterious librarian, Miss Jessamine Jardin, she’s got her own board.
I hope you like them!
Did I miss your fave character? Drop me a line here, and I’ll create a special Pinterest board just for them (and you!)

DERAILED: Now on Kindle Unlimited!
Happy Beltane, my pretties! In honor of spring and new beginnings, DERAILED is now on Kindle Unlimited!
That’s right, you can now read DERAILED: A Moribund Prequel Novella, PLUS Circuit Fae: MORIBUND on Kindle Unlimited.
DERAILED – Description
“Syl and Rouen are the perfect good girl, bad girl duo, and together, they’ve quickly become one of my most favorite couples!”-Anky’s Books
A goth-rock show. An innocent train ride. That’s all it takes for high school sophomore Syl Skye’s perfectly normal world to come crashing down. Why? Because this train holds the infamous Rouen Rivoche, a dark Fae assassin bent on murdering Syl. This is one journey that should end in tragedy, not two people falling love. Then again, whenever the Fae are involved, there’s no telling what will happen…
Don’t have KU? No worries! You can download the first three chapters of MORIBUND absolutely FREE!
And if that’s not awesome enough, we’ll soon have OUROBOROS on KU, too!
Stay Tuned!
