Cold Hearted

Cursed Fae, Book 1

By: Leia Stone, Julie Hall

Narrated by: Vanessa Moyen, Adam Gold

To save my kingdom, someone must die.
Every hundred years, a curse descends on Faerie, ravaging its lands and killing its people. For the last two millennia, the Summer Court princess has always been the one to stop it.

Now it’s my turn.

I’ve been preparing to become one thing my entire life: the perfect assassin. My mission is simple. Travel to the mirror realm, find an Ethereum Lord, return to Faerie with his magical heart.

But when I step through the portal, something goes horribly wrong, and I find myself at the mercy of Zander, a handsome royal guard who has taken me captive.

Zander is arrogant, stubborn, and infuriatingly gorgeous, but I’m forced to play by his rules so that he will present me before his leader, the Ethereum Northern lord. Then my mission will resume. Cut out his heart and get back to Faerie.
The only problem is, Zander has secrets, and when I find out what they are, they change everything, making me question if what I was taught my entire life was a lie.

Now I’m left with an impossible choice. Fail my task, and everyone and everything I’ve ever known and loved perishes. Or complete my mission and destroy the one thing I never knew I needed to survive: love.

Cold Hearted is a full-length fantasy romance stand-alone with an HEA! This book is perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, fated mates, and forced proximity.

Love It

Love the introduction in this interconnected storyline of the series. Intriguing storyline. Strong characters. Detailed world building. Great narration.

fun quick read

The concept of the book was great, however it seemed a bit rushed. In this series, it seems as each book will be it's own stand alone that intertwines with the other books of the series. I normally absolutely love Leia Stone's books, but the last 30% of the book went way to fast and didn't seem very realistic. The end is where it gets interesting as you see how the other books in the series will connect.

Overall, fun quick read. I read it in one sitting, but I felt like it could have been longer and less rushed. Loved the MMC, I thought the FMC was annoying at times, but she is still a baddie with all her powers and assassin skillset. I'll continue to read the rest of the series as I absolutely love all of Leia Stone's and Julie Hall's books.

Audible by Vanessa Moyen was exceptional as always!

really fun listen

am I crazy or did it sound like the female narrator was sped up? I had to slow her to 0.95 to sound normal. I like her though. But the male narrator was WAY too over the top. I felt like, "Chill, Dude! You don't have to stay in extra drama mode during the whole read." So overall, I love the story and it was a fun listen, and I'll probably listen to the text often series, but the male narrator almost made me want to quit early. Too much, dude.

Amazing

This was a great story line with rich detail and funny moments. Can’t wait for the next book

Can’t beat this team!

With the authors and narrators of course we have new awesome series. I love the story line and can’t wait to read book 2!
