Beautiful Nightmares

K. J. Sutton — 2022

"Monster, monster, come out to play. Monster, monster, I've been waiting all day." In the space of a single day, everything Fortuna thought she knew was exposed as lies and illusion. Alliances have shifted and roles are forever changed. And she now finds herself a prisoner in the Seelie Court. It is here that Fortuna learns the board for this game is even bigger than she believed. New players emerge from the shadows and the stakes are higher than ever before. There's no time for pain or healing-just survival. At least, that's what Fortuna thinks. Then the game leads her to an opponent who doesn't fight with magic or swords. An opponent that not even she can beat. It turns out she didn't know the meaning of fear... until now. TRIGGER WARNING: This novel contains scenes or themes of torture, slavery, and PTSD.

Sadly the book lost me here. I was happy that the MC & Male number 2 had a bit of a happy storyline but honestly this book was so all over the place for me.

It was like buffy, true blood and ACOTAR mushed up into one and I just couldn't get on with it.

** spoiler alert ** another phenomenal book in the series, although this one was little harder to get through than the others (still very enjoyable). maybe it was because of the length or that it’s was the 4th book so it seemed like the story just kept on stretching on, but it was a slower read for me. the lucifer twist at the end is definitely something to look forward to in the upcoming book. the lines between evil and hood blurred within fortuna which made the story very exciting to read but also nerve wracking as i never knew if she would make the right decision. still live for her character though, and i wish that oliver had played more of a role in this book (still secretly hoping he will come to life in the next), although i have a theory that the ‘person that can be reached in fortunas dreams’ is oliver and he is a traitor. hopefully not but i guess we will see. ok done with this series for now, and absolutely loved it.
