Synopsis
All her life, Breena had always dreamed about fairies as though she lived among them...beautiful fairies living among mortals and living in Feyland.
In her dreams, he was always there the breathtakingly handsome but dangerous Winter Prince, Kian, who is her intended. When Breena turns sixteen, she begins seeing fairies and other creatures mortals don't see. Her best friend Logan suddenly acts very protective.
Then she sees Kian, who seems intent on finding her and carrying her off to Feyland. That's fine and all, but for the fact that humans rarely survive a trip to Feyland, a kiss from a fairy generally means death to the human unless that human has fairy blood in them or is very strong, and although Kian seemed to be her intended, he seems to hate her and wants her dead.

Thoughts
I was supposed to review this book for the tour but I didn't have my Kindle in time. I'm super psyched to though! It looks so good! I don't know much about fairies, nor have I read any books about them, but I can't wait to learn more when I dive into this series!
What do you guys think? Are you into fairy books? What's your favorite?
