A Kingdom of Frost and Malice (The Winter Court #1)
Ashley McLeo
A blood slave desperate for freedom. A fake engagement. Torn between two powerful fae. The auction block awaits and a vicious vampire prince wants me and what flows through my veins. So I make a run for it, struggling through dangerous forests and battling the elements only to end up falling at the feet of a fae warden. Technically, the Warden of the West should return me to the vampire court, but Warden Roar has other ideas. He needs a fake fiancée. The deal: if I play his dutiful partner at the Winter Court, he’ll hide me from the blood-suckers intent on draining the life from me. I agree, and for a while, it seems like nothing can go wrong. In fact, being lavished with the good things in life almost makes me forget the danger. That is, until Vale, the Warrior Prince of the Winter Court, sets his sights on me. There’s something about the way he watches… His eyes raking over me, leaving a flaming trail of heat in their wake… Am I terrified or do I like it? All I know is I’ve become a pawn in the dangerous game of the fae. And it may cost me more than my heart. One-click this epic fantasy set in the clashing courts of a dying kingdom and discover whether Neve’s run for freedom has brought her to something even more dangerous or whether love will be her salvation.

I really wanted to like this! the world building, characters and storyline have everything it needs for success; however, the writing reads like a first draft. The entire story, you’re being told instead of shown what’s happening and it gives the story a Wattpad like feel.
For example, there’s one line that says: “Thanks to his flaming-red hair, I found him quickly” instead of something like “With hair the color of coming embers, his shined like a beacon in the night in a sea of brunettes and blondes. Thus making the option of getting lost almost negligible.”
I feel like this has all the makings it needs to become a successful fantasy series if it just went through a few more rounds of edits and reviews.
