I recently finished reading Filthy Rich Fae by Geneva Less. This is book #1 in the Filthy Rich Fae series.
~POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT~
Rating: 4/5 stars
"Cate Holloway knows the unspoken rule of New Orleans: avoid the powerful Gage crime family at all costs. Of course, that was before her brother got caught in their chaos. Now Cate has no choice but to confront the dark and forbidding prince of New Orleans himself and beg for her brother’s life.
But Lachlan Gage is as lethal as he is beautiful…and the only currency he’s interested in is her soul.
Because Lachlan isn’t just some ruthless criminal. He’s fae. And he has his own secret reasons for binding her to him.
Tricked and desperate, Cate is torn between humanity and the breathtaking Otherworld. A place filled with shadows and secrets, with members of each fae court plotting against her just as her captor’s motives for trapping her become more mysterious.
And if she can’t break this sinister bargain in the next thirty days, she’ll be bound to the inscrutable yet infuriatingly tempting fae prince and his deadly world…forever."
Okay, hold up… did I actually love this? No one will ever claim that this is great literature, but it was a highly enjoyable read! It definitely gave me ACOTAR/Night Court vibes but with a mafia twist. Great combo!
So far, I am very intrigued by the storyline, which ended on a cliffhanger and still has a lot of potential for the author to tap into.
Lachlan Gage is exactly the kind of morally gray book boyfriend we are all constantly in search of, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved the FMC.
Cate’s character, by comparison, is down-to-earth, fiercely loyal, and very level-headed. She was still a little bit rash, but only when it came to protecting the people she loved. The ending did feel a bit underwhelming, and it looks like the story is heading towards a certain direction… Only one way to find out.
Check out Filthy Rich Fae, and discover what happens when you "sell" your soul to the "devil".
