About this listen
Half-Fae Elessia could have had everything. Literally.
Since her magic allows her to compel anyone to do her bidding by merely looking into their eyes, the world was at her feet. But after a tragic accident, she is thrown into the Fae king's dungeons and forced to swear a blood oath to him, binding her to his service.
Five years later, she's living amongst humans in Ellow and has created a life for herself—as much as she can with the king's promise to call in his debt looming over her.
When he finally comes to collect, she is made to infiltrate the human elections to determine whether the current regent is involved in the strange things happening in the land of Fae.
With the promise of freedom from the king's claws, Elessia is determined to see it through. Liberty is within reach as long as she can keep the lethal Fae guard watching over her from eliminating her before she unearths the information the king seeks.
But as she grows closer to the brooding human regent and secrets begin to unravel, Elessia realizes greater forces may be at play. And she might stand before the choice between her own freedom and that of a nation.

Story
I was cursed. It wasn't an exaggeration. It wasn't even dramatics—though I was prone to those. It was a fact. And a sucky one at that. After inheriting my grandmother's home, I thought my luck had turned around. A fresh start in the one place where I'd found solace from my cruel father. But I was cursed, remember? So rather than a quiet life, I faced mysteries, con artists, disastrous dates, stoned witches, magicks, and evil organizations out to do evil things. And a house that was haunted.

The mystery is what pulled me in the most. There’s a lot we still don’t know, and I like that the story doesn’t give everything away upfront. There’s one big identity reveal, but even that only raised more questions. Other characters are clearly hiding things too, and I’m looking forward to seeing how that plays out in the rest of the series.
The love triangle was surprisingly well done. Both love interests felt like real options, and for most of the book I couldn’t pick a side. Now I’m leaning towards one in particular but I don’t doubt that I might find myself switching sides as it’s not super obvious who the fmc is going to end up with, While this one is minimally spicy (only one scene that is close to the end) there’s plenty of tension to keep it interesting.
The narrator was a great fit—easy to listen to and matched the tone of the story well.
