A Goodreads "YA Best Book of the Month" An Amazon "Best Book of the Month: Science Fiction & Fantasy" Zera is a Heartless—the immortal, unaging soldier of a witch. Bound to the witch Nightsinger, Zera longs for freedom from the woods they hide in. With her heart in a jar under Nightsinger's control, she serves the witch unquestioningly. Until Nightsinger asks Zera for a prince's heart in exchange for her own, with one addendum: if she's discovered infiltrating the court, Nightsinger will destroy Zera's heart rather than see her tortured by the witch-hating nobles. Crown Prince Lucien d'Malvane hates the royal court as much as it loves him—every tutor too afraid to correct him and every girl jockeying for a place at his darkly handsome side. No one can challenge him—until the arrival of Lady Zera. She's inelegant, smart-mouthed, carefree, and out for his blood. The prince's honor has him quickly aiming for her throat. So begins a game of cat and mouse between a girl with nothing to lose and a boy who has it all. Winner takes the loser's heart. Literally. The Bring Me Their Hearts series is best enjoyed in order. Reading Order: Book #1 Bring Me Their Hearts Book #2 Find Me Their Bones Book #3 Send Me Their Souls

But there’s this pesky little thing called time, and it keeps moving forward whether or not we’re moving with it.

It’s not a question of whether or not the apple falls far from the tree, because of course it doesn’t.It’s whether or not the apple can grow taller than the tree.

This was my book club book for this month and it was so much fun! It’s not necessarily a new favorite, but still super enjoyable. I couldn’t it put it down these last couple days, especially with the romance. I would’ve liked even MORE romance, but I digress. I did NOT see that ending coming! Excited to read the next one!

I enjoyed this a lot more than I was expecting! It’s a different fantasy world and creatures than I’m used to and the ‘romance’ is a bit slow burn . I’m excited to get to the sequel some time soon. 4.5 stars overall.

I was really looking forward to this book and it was a very fun read, however, there were some parts I wasn't too sure about. It definitely had a much slower pace than I usually like but the journey is worth it in the end if you stick it out. Aside from that the actual storyline was unique and kept me interested. 

Zera was a great main character, I absolutely loved her sarkiness and sassy attitude, couldn't stop laughing the whole way through at her witty remarks and comebacks. I actually liked all the characters but Malachite and Zera were by far my favourites. 

As a few other reviewers have said, the Heartless have a zombie-like feel to them but are done in a unique way and it was really interesting. Witches own Heartless and use them for whatever purpose they need as they're essentially immortal. 

The only downside to this was the fact that the plot was quite predictable and many of the twists you could see coming, but it was still shocking in some places. It didn't bother me too much as I really enjoyed reading it regardless.

* I got this book for review for my honest thoughts* 

I really did enjoy this book. I really did like the lead character and also the world building was so fun to explore this world. I just thought the pacing could have been stronger at points and also some of the "court intrigue" stuff I felt was abandoned in the middle of the novel. I really did love the prince in this story and hope in future books we see the story though his eyes. I liked how a unexpected trio developed towards the end of the book and also the dynamics between all the characters was super fun. I def need book 2 after that ending.

A few years ago, Zera's family was killed by bandits and she was left dying. The witch Nightsinger saved her. Instead of just using her magic to save her, she made her Heartless. With Zera's heart in a jar, NIghtsinger controls her entire life. Zera longs to be back in the world but she is unable to leave the woods that conceal them. 

When Nightsinger finds out that the humans are planning another war to wipe out witches and Heartless, she decides Zera might be their only hope of preventing the war. The witches want Zera to go to court as a prospective bride for Crown Prince Lucien and steal his heart. If she steals his heart, Nightsinger will free her.

When I started this book, I felt like the ending was going to be pretty obvious. I was pleasantly surprised! There's a lot more going on in the story. Lucien's story is interesting, and I enjoyed some other characters as well. Fione's great, and I loved Malachite. I don't want to say much more or I will spoil it! 

The ending left me hanging, so I will have to check out the next book to see what happens!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from Net Galley.

This was incredible! I haven't enjoyed a fantasy this much in a while. While I didn't agree with all the decisions she made, I really enjoyed Zera's character. It was slow in some places but overall those parts were necessary to the story so it still gets a five stars from me. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

“A Heartless only ever burns for one thing – their own heart. And those who burn don’t easily blind”. 

I loved the premise of this book. The Buffy The Vampire Slayer type banter hooked me right away, along with the idea of monsters living openly among the cast and crew. That was a refreshing take on this medieval setting. 

I genuinely enjoyed the connection and growth we experienced between Zera and her Auntie too. 

However... the plot and romance did feel predictable to me. 

That aside, I really liked Zera and I want only the best for these characters. 

3/5⭐️

I was surprised at just how good this book really was! I was intrigued by the plot when I first read it but when I first started reading it, I wondered just what I had signed up for!

The plot really fleshed out more so in the middle and I feel like the climax was at the end where we were met with a massive cliff hanger. Like please, Sara, give me more as soon as possible!!!! 

I had guessed who the identity was of Whisper so I'm actually pretty thrilled about that. I did have some suspicions about a very specific character that we were constantly reminded what the fate of them was. I'm curious to see how Sara will continue the story and explain how that came into play! I also really need to know if this is going to end in a romance considering Zera's feeling humanity without actually having her heart!

UmMmMmMmMmMmMmMm..... has anyone read that blurb because it sounds like something out f a fairytale and I’m talking like Grimm Fairytales where everyone dies and no one ends up happy. 

Where do I sign up?
