From award-winning author J.E. Reed comes a breathtaking new series full of curses, love, and survival. A queen in hiding. When eighteen-year-old Arianna is stolen from her family and sold into slavery, she spends months disguised as a half-breed Fae struggling against the devastations of a decade-long war. But she never expected to find herself at the mercy of her country's greatest enemy. General Rion is ruthless and commanding. He relishes in his reputation as The Demon-a vile creature incapable of love or compassion. With a secret no one can know, Arianna strives to placate him while plotting her escape, but sometimes fate has other plans and rumors can't always be trusted. She'll have to make a choice. Kill the most feared male on the continent or stay and let a forbidden bond take root. But what will happen when he discovers her secret?

Boy am I glad I read this during my free month of Kindle Unlimited. This has been on my tbr for such a long time and I could not have been more disappointed.
The premise is interesting and has a “Horsemen of the Apocalypse” but with Fae vibe (not everyone’s cup of tea). It had the makings of a great book (for my personal taste).
The execution however was appalling. The FMC just falls in Love with this killer for no good reason other than his dashing good looks. And their every interaction is just pure cringe. I’m talking eye rolling and full body shudders.
Do not recommend under any circumstances.
