A Veil of Truth and Trickery

A nice, quick read. I wish the characters/personalities/relationships were a little more developed, but the writing itself was quite nice! (Nothing against indie authors, I love them, but sometimes the writing reads as if it’s a draft, but this book was practically flawless and didn’t make me cringe with awkward sentences or errors)
I did read this after seeing the author’s videos on Tiktok, and I agree with other reviewers that it isn’t as steamy or dark as it was described but maybe the next book will be! 
Overall, I think it’s a good, solid start to a series and I will read the next one to see where it goes.

           Honestly, I’m disappointed. It was supposed to be reverse harem & spicier than ACOTAR but there was a PG13 sex scene and nothing else. Is it reverse harem in that there are multiple love interests for the protagonist? Sure. Do we get the spiciness of a reverse harem? No. There were like 3 kisses and one sex scene. I had a hard time following what was happening with the plot. We never really fully understand what’s going on cause they all are talking around the truth of Delph’s situation. One of them “fell in love” with her after having sex with her once and then speaking 3 times afterwards. What is the appeal in this girl? She’s got a loud mouth? I saw this advertised on tik tok by the author and it just wasn’t what I was expecting. I will be tuning in for the second book, to see if there is a redemption in it. It ends like how I thought it was gonna end, on a cliff hanger (kinda?????). 

I was so confused while reading this book cause I expected so much more from it. The author referring to it as faerie p*rn is categorically incorrect. It was fine. I noticed 2 or 3 grammatical errors, that always bugs me. Happy reading!

I was so excited for this book, the cover is gorgeous and I loved the synopsis. I was a little disappointed but I think I hyped it up too much in my head. The main character was very annoying, I hated her personality (what little of it there was), and I really didn't find myself drawn to any of the male protagonists either. I didn't really notice any development whatsoever and I don't think the second book is going to add much personality to the main character. The only redeeming element was the mystery of the Starlight Fae. I was not a fan and I'm glad I got this on Kindle Unlimited instead of paying for it.
