“Ten points to slytherin for the creepy answer.” Too Strong: The potential for an argument that the bargainer is a groomer, argument for cliche plot Reasons to Raise a Glass: Sexy fae kings, new adult content, tall dark and broody, RESPECTFUL. It was a unique a useful storytelling tool. I also really loved the flashbacks at the beginning of each chapter. I like the resistance and reticence of the Bargainer to have a relationship with Callie before she’s of age despite being supernaturally “of age”. I like the understanding of underage relationships and respect behind that. I also get Tamlin vibes from our main villain so we shall see what happens with that in book two.
I’m intrigued to see where the story goes because it wasn’t amazing, although it suited my fancy, but it was intriguing enough to make it to book two. The semi vampire children are also very interesting and I like the idea of there being a two dimensioned world. The whole ominous scary character within a different realm that’s wanting to gather an evil army idea isn’t a new one I’m not denying it. I wish that was the case with Temper because I promise as a reader I still would have gotten it. Subtlety is a very nuanced art that sometimes authors struggle with. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, I don’t like being treated like an idiot by an author and the way it’s pushed that Temper is a strong sassy black woman felt aggressive. I do struggle with the aggression that Temperance “Temper” is done in the way she is. At first, I genuinely didn’t like any of the characters so be prepared, but once you read more about them you become greatly invested in them. I gotta admit I really like the characters. The combination of the real world with fae and supernatural is amazing. I also love a good prep school, old english vibe and that’s definitely what I get from the Peel Academy. It reminds me of The Cruel Prince by Holly Black and from what I’ve heard Crescent City by Sarah J. I loved the combination of the real world with the Otherworld being the fae world. “I’m the one that can’t smother these feelings that have been festering inside me for years.”
Then he shows up in the middle of the night because something is terribly wrong in the Otherworld, the realm he rules in, and he needs Callie’s help. However, she hasn’t seen him in seven years and he hasn’t ever attempted to call in one of his debts. She has a wonderful beaded bracelet that runs almost halfway up her arm and it might look beautiful, but it means she owes a favor to The Bargainer for each bead. Take a Shot: Callypso is a siren living amongst normal humans. “Most of all, I hate him because he is easier to hate than myself.”
