Beneath These Cursed Stars (These Hollow Vows #3) by Lexi Ryan

on


Princess Jasalyn has a secret. Armed with an enchanted ring that gives her death’s kiss, Jas has been sneaking away from the palace at night to assassinate her enemies.

Shape-shifter Felicity needs a miracle. Fated to kill her magical father, she’s been using her unique ability to evade a fatal prophecy.

When rumors of evil king Mordeus’s resurrection spread through the shadow court, Jasalyn decides to end him once and for all. Felicity agrees to take the form of the princess, allowing Jas to covertly hunt Mordeus—and starting Felicity on the path that could finally take her home.

While Jasalyn teams up with the charming and handsome Kendrick, Felicity sets out to get closer to the Wild Fae king, Misha. Kendrick helps Jasalyn feel something other than anger for the first time in three years, and Misha makes Felicity wish for a world where she’s free to be her true self. Soon, the girls’ missions are at risk right alongside their hearts.

The future of the human and fae realms hangs in the balance as fates intertwine. Between perilous tasks, grim secrets, and forbidden romances, Jasalyn and Felicity find that perhaps their stars are the most cursed of all.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lexi Ryan comes a romantic fantasy in which a human princess armed with death’s kiss and a fae shifter on the run become unlikely allies when a mission to assassinate an evil king collides with a fatal prophecy.

I wanted to love this book. The premise sounds so good. However, I was just bored through the whole novel. Most everything was fairly predictable. Also, one of the characters that was part of a huge twist wasn't even really in the novel which really detracted from the surprise and tension of the moment. 

I did enjoy seeing Jas become more confident and willing to stand up for herself. She has a good character arc in this book that I am eager to see continue in the next novel.

This wasn't a bad book, but was just a little bland to skyrocket it to one of my favorites. I do think some people will enjoy this one though.
