Maas, Holly Black, and Jennifer L. Armentrout. She’s half Fae with sunlight in her veins, he’s a vampire with a soul. It’s a match made in magical hell...but Avery just can’t seem to stay away. Avery Quinn’s worst nightmares come true when the taunting shadows of her mind become real, and an entire mythical world reveals itself to her. Ironworld. Fae, Shapeshifters, Vampires, Witches…all pitting themselves against one another in a formidable quest for ancient power. With her new circle of friends–a misfit crew of mythical beings–they work together to bring down an illegal black-market ring of shapeshifters selling Fae blood to vampires. But the further Avery sinks into this mythical domain and discovers secrets of her own past; the more she realizes…she’s not human at all. She’s not really even Fae. With each secret she uncovers, Avery grows closer to darkness. Because, while her mortal heart may belong to the vampire she loves, her immortal soul was long promised to a Dark Fairy Lord… And he’s coming to collect.

0For some reason, I didn't connect with this book.
The first 60% of the book is dedicated to the introduction of the characters and the world and the plot really picks up after that. There is a prologue that is really intriguing and for the whole book I was waiting for the link to be established but it just never came, so I didn't really understand the point of the prologue. I think it might have been better to add it to the 2nd book (or whichever book we're gonna get answers). I also feel like we didn't really get any answers to any questions but since it's supposed to be a series, it's not too surprising.
I also didn't care about most of the characters. It's not that they're unlikable, there's just nothing special about them... Including Cillian who's the love interest. When I first started the book I thought Avery would fall in love for the guy from the prologue but apparently he's not gonna be her love interest at all... It was kinda hard for me to root for them because there's hints here and there and she crushes on him but I felt like it came kinda like out of nowhere.
I'm still giving 3 stars because it's not bad by any means, just average.
