In Arcadia, winter has no heart.I make magic dresses for a living. I'm not rich or pretty enough to wear them, but I love what I do, working out of my family's shop on Carnaby Street in London-until the fae show up.It's a straight-up kidnapping, and before I know it, I'm brought to this wintry place of cold hearts and beautiful nightmares, but that's not the worst part.The worst part is, they think I'm fae, and I'm supposed to participate in some competition against a host of other women who have been training their whole lives for this. The prize? The winner is to marry the Prince.On the surface that sounds almost like a fairytale, only this competition is brutal and bloody, and the Prince is the jerk that kidnapped me. I can't get too close to him or he'll know I'm not fae, and then I'm dead. But I want to get close to him. His body burns with the fire of a cold star, and I'm drawn to him.I need to fight the pull and survive long enough to find a way out of here, but these winter fae won't make that easy.

I actually liked this. It was quick and entertaining. I'm not even mad that it ended on a cliffhanger. I want to know her story. I want to know what happens.

Interest slightly peaked not officially sold 

Dahlia sure has a knack for asking and doing stupid things. I guess now we're almost certain that she's not entirely human and the scent the Prince smelled may not have been of Gullie. As the main character I expect her to win but I'm I'm hoping this is not an undercover Selection series book because that was the worse and totally uncalled for.

So glad I picked up this up, reads like a mix between The Selection and ACOTAR, will be reading the rest of the series

The book starts strong.
I really like the MC in the first 25% of the book. And then I just didn't.
The world building starts amazing, made me hope for so much more. And in the end it was just.. meh? We barely learn anything about the "human world" and even less about the Fae world.
Stuff is mentioned but not explained at all.

I did finish the series because until the end I was hoping it would get better. 
You follow Dhalia for 4 books and you could just remove some of the side characters and no one would notice. Barely any personality, barel any involvement. There are just there. But Dhalia is doing all the work, making all the decisions. Its just basically her and no one else.
