I also really enjoyed the short time she spent in the Wild Fae Lands forming new alliances and honing her abilities. I loved his and Brie’s witty dialogue and flirty banter and, despite clearly having his own agenda, he came across as a genuine ally. These Twisted Bonds started really strong with the ambush at the child camps and the introduction to one of my new favourite characters, the charismatic and mischievous, Misha. Brie was lied to and manipulated to such an extent in the previous book I was delighted to witness our heroine unleash her powers and fight back against the men who continuously used her as a political pawn. The image of Abriella, newly turned Fae, fleeing from the Golden Palace after Sebastian’s betrayal, wrapping the Court of Sun in a shroud of shadows was exactly the opening I was hoping for.

How can she know where she stands when she doesn’t even know herself anymore? In this darkly romantic thrill ride, the more Faerie is torn apart from the inside, the clearer it becomes that prophecies don’t lie and Brie has a role to play in the fate of this magical realm – whether she likes it or not.” As civil war wages in the Court of Darkness, Brie finds herself unable to choose a side. But when she suddenly finds herself caught in a web of lies of her own making - loving two princes and trusting neither – things are not quite as clear as she once thought. “After Abriella’s sister was sold to the fae, she thought life couldn’t get any worse. Thankfully, These Twisted Bonds answers every single one whilst giving readers the satisfying ending we deserve. The final chapters were spectacular, but they left readers with many unanswered questions. If you were a fan of Ryan’s first book, These Hollow Vows ( review available here) you’ll understand why.

When the newly released hardback of These Twisted Bonds, the finale to the bestselling duology from Lexi Ryan, arrived at my door just a few weeks ago I literally squealed with delight.
