Vera has made a living breaking the law, but even she follows one rule-never steal from the Fae. Eighteen-year-old Vera, a half human, half fae, has spent the last five years trying and failing to earn a place with the Rogues, but with her burgeoning powers and monstrous appearance, she fits in better with the flesh-eating beasts plaguing her world than she does the fierce halfling warriors fighting them. When a powerful object is uncovered, Vera finally has her opportunity to become a Rogue. All she has to do is steal the object before it reaches the Faylands, which is easier said than done. She quickly discovers she is not the only one after it when the object is stolen right out from under her, and she's left as the only one to blame when the Fae arrive. Stealing from them is a death sentence, but the frightening Fae Lord Vera encounters offers her a bargain instead-her life in exchange for what was stolen. As Vera searches for the missing object, her tenuous control over her dark powers is pushed past its limits, and she learns the pain of ultimate betrayal. Her only hope of making it out alive is the Fae Lord at her side, but Vera would rather serve herself up as dinner to a flesh-eating beast than ever make a truce with a Fae.

I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for a review! 

I gave this book 4 stars because I genuinely enjoyed the characters, plot, and could see the potential of the series as a whole. I hesitate to give a 5 star because I felt the book was a little rushed but overall well written. 

Vera’s adventure is one full of excitement, fear, near death and actual death, betrayal, and friendship. Her time with the Rouge’s have taught her plenty, but her time spent with Ronan (swoon!!) and Finn have showed her what potential she carries. Vera learns to accept herself for who she is, or rather what she is, and that she is worthy of love. 

The banter between Vera and Ronan is unmatched and blossoms into a friendship which slowly leads to something more. Ronan takes his time flirting with Vera as she isn’t exactly sure how to react to this new affection. He and Finn provide Vera with a newfound purpose that I think is beautiful. 

I look forward to seeing what new adventures Vera finds herself on in the next installment of Nights of Iron and Ink! And I hope whoever reads this will be compelled to read the first book :)
