***Blog Tour Stop and Giveaway*** The Dark King (The Fae Trilogy, Book 2) by C.J. Abedi



The Dark King Synopsis:

Darkness descends over Roanoke Island in the sequel to the young adult bestseller, FAE.

Devilyn Reilly has crossed over to the sinister world of The Dark Fae, reigning over the realm as its King. He is to fulfill a prophecy--to unite the Light and Dark Fae once and for all, but those who love him now fear that he will never be the same again, that he can no longer be trusted, that every trace of the Light he once had is gone forever.

Caroline Ellis, the final heir of the Light Fae, must learn to survive without the protection of her one true love. She must come to embrace her own strength to evade those in the Dark court who seek her destruction—for the power is within Caroline to use Light to change Fate itself...

Caroline and Devilyn’s chemistry is undeniable. Their destiny together inevitable if only they have the will to overcome The Darkness and The Fates.

THE DARK KING, the second installment of the stunning Fae trilogy propels readers into the mystical and magical world of the Light and Dark Fae, where star-crossed love ignites a battle between two powerful kingdoms, one that can consume everything that stands in its path.

Lesley's Review:

In The Dark King, life has taken Caroline and Devilyn on another life changing and dangerous journey. No matter how hard Devilyn tries to change what is to written, he can’t fight against what the fates have decided.

When we left Caroline and Devilyn in the end of the first installment of this series,Devilyn rescued Caroline from his father and decided to leave Caroline behind. He felt it was safer if she continued to live her life as she’s always known. He took her memories of who she was and who he was.  He felt he was rescuing her from himself. Once again, Devilyn must learn the hard way.

Feeling to secure in his capture and imprisonment of his father, He rules The Dark kingdom with a confident hand. What is it they say about those who are over confident? They make mistakes. They underestimate others. That’s exactly what happens to Devilyn in the Dark Kingdom. The new Dark King has enemies. Enemies loyal to his father.

Caroline, in the meantime, is going about her life as though nothing has ever changed. She’s started back to school, dreading drama, and trying to pretend she isn’t’ having strange dreams about the boy who never wanted anything to do with her, Devilyn Reilly. The boy who is strangely absent. With the low hopes of Devilyn coming back and actually having feelings for her, she starts to “notice” the new handsome football player in town. Rowan. Unlike Dev, Rowan doesn’t send mixed signals to her. Hmmm…..

Ultimately, Devilyn ends up back in the human world to protect Caroline. He continues with the façade that he and Caroline never had anything more than a friendship. Caroline still harbors feelings that she doesn’t understand but the handsome Rowan is making it kind of easy to push those aside. But little does she know it’s making it harder for Devilyn to ignore the feelings he has for her, The Queen to his King.

Things definitely get interesting in this installment. We have jealousy, love, danger, more mystery and more adventures. I don’t want to take away the suspense of not knowing what is going to happen, so I am not going to delve any deeper. The story continues to get deeper while it’s being set up for the next installment. It moves fast and is over before you know it. This one does end on an “oh no” moment. Just to warn you. I turned the page and let out a curse or two.  The authors did a good job at keeping me interested and hooking me in for the next book. I look forward to finding out if fate can be changed. I give this one 4 stars.

***Blog Tour Stop and Giveaway*** Fae by C. J. Abedi



Caroline Ellis' sixteenth birthday sets into motion a series of events that have been fated for centuries. A descendant of Virginia Dare, the first child born in the lost colony of Roanoke, and unaware of her birthright as the heir to the throne of the Light Fae, it isn’t until Caroline begins a tumultuous relationship with Devilyn Reilly that the truth of her heritage is revealed. 

Devilyn is the only Fae who is both of the Light and of the Dark, and struggles to maintain that precarious balance to avoid succumbing to the power of the Dark within him.  He is the only one who can save Caroline from those who would destroy her and destroy all hope for unity among the Fae. He promises Caroline that he will protect her at all costs, even when it means protecting her from himself.

Told from the alternating perspectives of Caroline and Devilyn, FAE draws on mysteries, myths and legends to create a world, and a romance, dangerously poised between Light and Dark.


Lesley's Review


“Fate leads the willing, and drags along the reluctant.”- Seneca

 Caroline Ellis is a normal high school student. She gets exceptional grades, writes for the school paper, and gets along with mostly everyone. Until HE comes along. Devilyn Reilly. These two clash and it’s ultimately a battle of the wits between them. She thinks he is a pompous jock and he wants her to believe it. Although, Caroline has no clue why, we learn what exactly is happening. Caroline is the one left in the dark until fate forces Devilyn’s hand.

Devilyn is the dark prince and heir to the throne. The prophecy warns of a terrible tragedy that will befall the light Queen, Caroline. (Like she could even attempt to figure that one out) Devilyn fighting against fate tries to protect her but he wrestles with how he is supposed to do that. Pushing her away and pulling her back. He fights with his heart and mind. This creates tension and confusion between the two of them. The one situation that Devilyn can’t fight is the fact that they are true matches. Two perfect halves. Fated.

“Not fleeting love, but true, perfect love. The kind that makes your stomach churn, your whole body flush with an inner peace knowing that you’ve found you one true soul mate. The kind of love that’s worth dying for. Or living for. If you are lucky enough to find it.”

Devilyn’s father who leads the Dark Fae is making a move to capture and kill Caroline. He seems to be a very evil man who will stop at nothing to gain power over all the fae. He also wants his son to fight the light in him and embrace the dark. Yes, that’s right on top of it all, Devilyn must fight to stay balanced. He is a child of the both sides. Keeping Caroline safe and alive is his top priority. In order for that to happen, Devilyn will risk it all for her and to see that the light and dark are united.

“No matter how much light lives within me, it cannot encompass the darkness that consumes my soul.”

This book was a pleasant surprise for me. I rarely read YA books anymore, but the fact that it was a paranormal drew me to in. I am so glad that I decided to read this one. Not only is the tale an intriguing one, but it’s also an epic love story. The attraction between the two is apparent and you can feel the chemistry in the words. The danger and suspense come in behind that towards the end of the book to really hook you in for the next installment. Which, of course, I am so looking forward too. Devilyn and Caroline are great characters and I enjoyed being in the moment with them. I will admit that it felt like the action was being held back and was slow to develop. However, I don’t feel that it would change my rating for the book. It would have bothered me more, if I hadn’t bonded with the characters. I rate this installment in the Fae trilogy; 4 stars. Keep your eyes out for the next one: The Dark King.
