About this deal

Thank you to NetGalley and Hodder & Stoughton for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Brie is a thief and a good one, so good that she’s attracted the attention of a Fae king to help him steal artefacts from his rival to bring him more power with the realm. As soon as I saw “Cruel Prince meets A Court of Thorns and Roses” I knew I had to get my grubby little hands on this book (and it did also say “sexy” soo… count me in!) Caught between two dangerous courts, Brie must decide who to trust with her loyalty - and with her heart.

UHHH… that??? Ending?? Is the author or Hodder & Stoughton going to pay for my therapy? Because I’m obsessed with this story. I still think about it MONTHS later… it literally haunts me in the night.

This book seduced me, made me yell at my kindle "noo don't do it!!!" And it broke me in pieces and now I want revenge. And I really hope there will be a second book, cause that cliffhanger. I enjoyed the world building and the setting though, I would’ve like more of it. Hopefully it’ll be explored further in the next book which, after reading that spectacular Sarah J.Mass-worthy ending, I’ll be impatiently awaiting. All I can say is—WOW! At the end of the day I am basic. Give me a love triangle, fae or a dark brooding prince and you can have my money.

Although YA, this does have some older themes. Considering the target age audience - I would hope there are trigger/content warnings for the published book. Romance Billionaire Romance Erotic Fantasy Vampires Science Fiction Thriller Horror Classics Suspense Abriella is a strong female character but she can seem a little dense. I know I said I didn't see some twists and turns coming but I saw them more than Brie. Sebastian to me felt like he was putting a lot on Brie and although he knew she was saying no he was still there always at the side waiting for her to change her mind. Finn on the other hand although he's the grump Unseelie Prince I have a soft spot for him. I'm really happy I got this ARC, and I really wanted it. Cause the description sold me and I got what I was promised.

Christmas Cards & Gift Wrap

Unfortunately, on the same day that a ball is announced in the Seelie Court, Brie finds out that her aunt has decided to sell her sister to the Unseelie King as a slave. Even though Brie can’t stand the idea, she realises that her best chance to save her sister is to go to the ball and try find her way to the Unseelie Court. Cue one fast-paced main storyline of Brie running around trying to save her sister no matter what. i loved how fairytale-esque this book was. so many fantasy books seem to shy away from fairytale monsters and so i was so excited when goblins came into the picture. with magic mirrors, portals and magical relics, these hollow vows is 100% a world brimming with magic, legends and power and i loved it so much. Lexi Ryan has created an in-depth world that vividly comes to life through her writing and imagination put to paper. Every detail is thought out so well that you lose yourself in the realm and characters effortlessly, never being able to predict what will happen next. I have never read a book where time literally disappeared in a flash. Four to five hours felt like thirty minutes, if that, as I read through the night wanting and needing to follow the story and Abriella more. Even then just as I had a few chapters left and thought it was just going to wrap up for the ending I thought it would be, it again surprised me and dragged me even deeper into the story. It is so easy to relate to Abriella on a personal level and the writing let you feel every emotion she does. I loved the world Lexi Ryan created. I really liked the different creatures and how the society works as a whole.

These Twisted Bonds: the spellbinding conclusion to the

I was not prepared for how much I would love it 😱! These Hollow Vows is perfect for Sarah J Maas fans and lovers of YA fantasy with a new faerie realm, a choice between the light and the shadow (and plenty of dramaaaaa). A huge thank you to Hodder and Stoughton, Lexi Ryan and Netgalley for providing an eArc copy in exchange for my honest opinion of These Hollow Vows. This book had me hooked straight away! The writing is so engaging, the characters *chefs kiss*, and the world building was so so good - the different courts, the human world, the creatures… I loved it all!

The ending had me screaming okay, I need another book and I need it now. I NEED ANSWERS. Lexi, hit me up okay?! I feel like all the characters are morally grey, they will stop at nothing to get what they want and their actions and manipulations entwine right up to the climax - long after the reader suspects what's going on. I was still surprised at the slight twist at the end and I should have known right along with Brie.
