It's a...Reverse Harem
Abandoned. Unwanted. Orphan.
In a time of war between mankind and fae, no one ventures outside of the safety of the human kingdom. Abandoned in the furthest corner of Amnestia, in a convent long forgotten by most, Cress grows up thinking she’s nothing more than a human of horrendous skill and grace.
One moment, the quiet countryside of Amnestia where she’s been raised her whole life is devoid of any danger and the next, it’s there. Powered by a strange magical spell, a castle appears seemingly from nowhere. Ruled by a court of fae few humans had ever laid eyes on and lived to tell the tale, Cress stumbles right into the center of three royal princes. There, she discovers that perhaps she’s not a human at all, but a changeling--a fae child left behind in the ancient tradition of an extinct court.
In the face of possible execution, she better hope she’s a fae, because the worst thing a girl can be in the court of crimson is human.

These two authors have come together to take us on a wild new ride in the world of Fae. In the Twisted Fae series, humans and Fae are aware of each other. That's because they are at war. Humans fear the Fae and Fae hate the humans. Cress has grown up in a convent where she has never felt like she belonged. While grateful to be taken in and given food and shelter, she is ready for her escape. She knows convent life will not be her forever. She's waiting for her birthday when she knows her life will change. She just never thought it would change in the way that it does.
For someone who has never experienced the Fae in anything but stories, Cress has no idea what to do when she finds herself in a castle full of them. Especially when three fae princes think she might be more than a mere human. She is taken by surprise with the way they act and the things they find acceptable. While she knows she should fear for her life, and in some ways she does, she also feels a connection she can't explain. She loves to push their buttons, even when she shouldn't. She's hilariously inappropriate at times.
With this being the first book in the series, I think the authors did a great job of keeping an even balance. We got to know about our characters and have their story while still learning about this new world we are in. We had plenty of action, suspense, twists and some romance. We have our bad guys that we love and our one that we love to hate. This book definitely had my attention all the way through. Now the end, I don't think I would call that a cliffhanger really. Yes we have a pivotal moment and dramatic ending but it's just leading us into the next book. I for one can't wait to see what these two authors give us in the Court of Frost. Bring it ladies!
