"I don't need a line to know what's considered good or bad, but if I did, there isn't a line I wouldn't cross for you." When Rennick was thirteen, the gods bestowed upon him the name of his fated mate--a human girl. As the sole heir to the Mountain Kingdom, magic bound him to his kingdom until he ascended the throne on his twenty-fifth birthday, and as a human, she couldn't cross the magical barrier separating the humans from the fae. Heartsore and consumed with thoughts of her, he did the only thing he could and sent her anonymous letters and gifts… Until he crossed the barrier into her kingdom to claim her as his own. Six months after Amelia's thirteenth birthday, she received a strange letter from a fae boy claiming her as his mate. Humans weren't taught much about the fae, and one look at the horrifying doll meant to be her belated birthday gift solidified her suspicions that someone was playing a cruel joke. Except the letters and odd gifts kept coming. Against her better judgment, Amelia fell in love with her mysterious admirer throughout the years, certain they would never meet. But on her twenty-fifth birthday, her walk to work was interrupted by two familiar words she'd read a million times. "Hello, love." Viciously Yours is a new adult fantasy romance long novella/short novel of about 60k words/250 pages. It is fast-paced and focuses solely on the relationship between the two main characters.

I received this book as an ARC. This review is completely honest.
I saw a post on Tik Tok that Jamie made a couple months ago hinting at this book and knew immediately, I had to read it. I got the email with my ARC copy and dove right in.
What’s not to love about this book? Fae, fated mates, spice AND plot, touch her and d*e, simple but effective world building, no third act break up. Pretty much everything I could want out of a romantasy book was wrapped up into this novella without it feeling like too much was going on.
Renneck has the filthiest mouth and I adore him. I never expected to be kicking my feet and giggling over someone losing some skin, but I absolutely did while reading this. I can’t recommend it enough.
