ARC Review - What Lurks Between the Fates by Harper L. Woods

 Thank you so much Harper L. Woods for sending me this ARC!


Title: What Lurks Between the Fates
Author: Harper L. Woods
Genre: Dark Fantasy Romance
Series: Of Flesh & Bone (book #3) 
Pages: 455

Synopsis:

Once, I’d chosen my mate instead of freedom.

For weeks, we retraced our steps back to Mistfell and the lingering shadow of the Veil at the boundary between realms. Traveling through the kingdom, I denied the evidence in front of me, unable to fathom that I wasn’t the lost princess of Faerie. Instead, it is Fallon who must fear the consequences of her heritage. Which leaves me with a single, unanswered question.

Then, I awoke, caged high above the throne of the Queen of Air & Darkness.

Mab is the Queen who keeps all of Alfheimr held squirming within her clawed grasp. She uses the children of Faerie to sustain the magic granted to her by the cursed gem atop her crown, which has carved her from the girl she once was into a dark vessel, obsessed with power. She thrives on cruelty, and wields our love as an instrument for pain.

Now, I’ll play the games of the Fae.

I’m a curiosity, my presence an enigma that was never foreseen. I may not be Mab’s daughter, yet she still keeps me close, as she forges me into a weapon against humans and Fae alike. Mab may not own me yet, but she controls the life of the man I love. There is nothing I wouldn’t do to see him freed.

Even if I have to become the villain to do it.


Review & thoughts:


What Lurks Between the Fates is the third book in a Dark Fantasy Romance series and easily my favorite one so far! Book 1 was good, book 2 even better, but this third part of Estella and Caldris’s story was simply incredible.

What Lurks Between the Fates begins right where book 2 ended and there is so much happening since the very beginning. We learn so many new things and while some questions I had since the first book were finally answered, I still can’t wait for the next book to learn more. I loved Estrella in this book, she is a whole different person from who she was at the beginning of book 1 and I love how strong and badass she is here. She and Caldris are perfect for each other and I love their romance and all their scenes together. We also get a new setting here with most of the action happening at Mab’s court and since I always enjoy Fae court drama and politics, it was one of my favorite parts of the book. There is so much happening here and so many new characters introduced, I was not bored for a single moment and read this book in one siting, I was engrossed in the story since the first page.

What Lurks Between the Fates is an amazing continuation to Estella and Caldris’s story that I loved and I already can’t wait for the next book, that cliffhanger left me speechless! The next book can’t come soon enough.
