Mortal Skin

4.5 stars

Before I get to my thoughts on this book, I wanted to tank Michelle for recommending it to me because I don't think I would have picked this book up on my own otherwise and I definitely would have been missing out on a great book. 

This is the first book I have read by this author, and it definitely won't be the last. I enjoyed this so much more than I was expecting to. This is a Fantasy MM Fae Romance, and it was amazing. It was slow going in the sense that not a whole lot was happening plot wise that didn't have to do with the budding romance. I recently read a fantasy romance book where that same thing happened, and it was a negative for me however in this book that wasn't the case. I didn't care that this one was mostly about the romance because I loved it that much. 

I could have done without the repetitiveness and how much Ash was in his head so much, but I think that's the only negatives I had for this book and even then, it obviously didn't take away from my enjoyment of the book all that much. This book is super steamy. I normally don't mention specific sex scenes in my reviews because I mean it's a sex scene and there's never really anything special about them, but their first romantic encounter was one of the best ones I have ever read. I can't really go into detail about why because of spoilers but I'm sure if you've read it you will understand. 

We are left with a cliffhanger which I don't typically like, but I was expecting it and honestly the reveal didn't come as a shock to me. I totally saw that one coming but I'm not happy with where the romance is at the moment, and I really need to read the second book. If I wasn't participating in Tropeathon right now I would have immediately jumped into book 2. 

If you haven't read this book yet I would highly recommend it. Don't let the cover deter you from it like it almost did me. I loved this book so much!!
