Brie hates the Fae and refuses to have anything to do with them, even if that means starving on the street. But when her sister is sold to the sadistic king of the Unseelie court to pay a debt, she'll do whatever it takes to get her back—including making a deal with the king himself to steal three magical relics from the Seelie court.
Gaining unfettered access to the Seelie court is easier said than done. Brie's only choice is to pose as a potential bride for Prince Ronan, and she soon finds herself falling for him. Unwilling to let her heart distract her, she accepts help from a band of Unseelie misfits with their own secret agenda. As Brie spends time with their mysterious leader, Finn, she struggles to resist his seductive charm.
Caught between two dangerous courts, Brie must decide who to trust with her loyalty. And with her heart.

This book was pretty predictable but I still enjoyed it. It's a classic "the bad guy is actually a decent guy, and the good guy is secretly plotting" book. It is also a Cinderella retelling, with a Cinderella who is very reluctant to be saved by the prince.
Brie can be a bit annoying with how brash she is, storming through conversations and tasks without really thinking them out. Personally, if I had been drugged via faerie wine once or enchanted by faerie music to forget my problems and never stop dancing, I'd never drink wine or go to a party again, let alone do it within the month.
I am excited to read the sequel to see how Brie develops into her powers and what will happen with the love triangle (oh, yes there is a love triangle, so beware if you hate them; I'm kinda meh about them). I also just really want to know what Bakken does with Brie's hair, because you know it's something nefarious.
