Wow. This book takes you from a bustling nightclub to an incredible fairy tale realm. Incredible action, complex characters, a terrible course and sexy tension that makes you want what she's having! I loved it and I definitely love this new world and the sexy fae!

Barely better than the prequel. I'm glad the FMC was at least established as over 18 this time.
In both the prequel and this book, the FMC did or said very repetitive things rather than having a range of experiences. Several chapters in both books ended with her passing out for one reason or another, usually waking up in a different place. Normally I don't bat an eye at something like this, but it happened SO MANY TIMES.
She also keeps saying "you're scaring me" when she's warned about danger. At one point, I think in the prequel, it happened twice in the same conversation. My point is that the author tends to be unnecessarily repetitive and doesn't seem to know how to write varied and/or meaningful dialogue. Not to mention it doesn't even make sense because the guys aren't scaring her, the surrounding danger is.
Also, not a lot happened during this book. It was mostly her running scared from danger and being turned on by the princes. That's literally her range of emotion: fearful and horny. She tries to stand up for herself, but it's not very convincing, and usually is just meant to add to the sexual tension between her and the guys.
While I obviously dislike the main character, I'm still a bit interested in the princes which is the only reason I'm continuing this series for now. This book does end with a cliffhanger and it apparently was in just the right spot to convince me to read the next book. I was seriously considering not finishing the series.

I enjoyed this book more than the first one but I think they could have been one book and it would have felt more complete since there was a lot of mentions of the first book.
I feel like this book needed more substance felt a little rush, I think a slower pace would of worked well and needs to be longer. Which in turn makes it a little frustrating because I just needed more.
The main character was aged up by 2 years thank goodness because I was a bit unsure about that in the first book.
Overall I did enjoy it could of have had a bit more spice tho

I read this in one day! What a cliff-hanger! I went to download the next in series and I have to wait until April. If you like page turning books with lots of action (6 battle scenes my friends) and steamy fae princes. Look no further, this novel is for you!

This book had a lot of running :) This is an action-packed story that is not giving you a minute to feel safe. As soon as you think they can stop and breathe, you are in the wrong, cause it is time for more action.
I had a big break between reading the previous book and getting into this one. I forgot what it was that got me wanting to read more, but I was reminded right away in the first chapter. The interesting way of writing is just the right spot to end the chapter and keeps you invested in the story, to want to know about the characters more. Well done Mila đ
Especially, I like the scenes that are filled with action, with the tension of what is happening and how real it feels while reading it.
The romance part was kinda on the side and we only see some swift thoughts and brief interactions and not much depth to the relationships.
Each of the princes gets its part in getting to know him, I'm just a little worried that there is not much of a difference between the princes. They do have a different kind of start with Guen but by the end, they feel like the same guy.
The plot is really interesting and I will surely be checking the next book.

To Seduce a Fae Review
To Seduce a Fae by Mila Young is the first book in her new series â Winterâs Thorn. The author introduces readers to an array of characters that begins with a young woman by the name of Guen. Imagine going out with your friend for some speed dating. It only goes from bad to worse. First things kick off with a guy still obsessed with his exes (YIKES) and thenâŚyou get face to face with a dreamy hunkâŚthough with a weird name youâll see) and thenâŚthe worse thing possibleâŚyour dress rips exposing the goodies to the world. Haha! Well, thatâs Guenâs night, but things only get weirderâŚand worse from there. Her past is a âsecretâ but itâs coming back to haunt her in a real way when danger comes out of the shadows and demands her life and cooperation.
To Seduce a Fae sets the stage for this new series. Guen is just wanting to live a normal life, but thatâs not in the cards for her. The author expertly lays the groundwork of that there is a secret in Guenâs past. The men that she is meeting (minus the stalkers) sheâs met before, but someone doesnât want her remembering. Sheâs needed by two groups of people. They each have their own agenda, but for the group who needs her most they need her to recover her memories so that their people can be saved. But what about Guen? She has the attention of three handsome princes, but where is that going to lead her? She wants to get back home, but what will happen when she regains her memories? This book had me page-turning to learn what was going to happen next.
Granted, Guen did get on my nerves more than once. Haha! For me, one of her more ridiculous moments is when she wanted to get mad at Deimos because her getting her skirt snagged on the chair. She blames him, butâŚhow was it his fault?! He didnât do it! Granted he wasnât the most helpful, but I had to roll my eyes at her juvenile behavior of wanting to get mad at him. NowâŚI LOVE this authorâŚbut it seems like she had some imagination issues with this book. When she has Deimos give Guen a fake nameâŚDoohickey would have had me laughing in his face and telling him to get lost. No woman with sense is buying that name not ever. I was a bit disappointed because I thought sheâd come up with something better than that.
I am rating this book 4 out of 5 stars. The storyline is really good and the author does an excellent job pulling readers along into the story as they seek to know what happens next. Iâm eager to see where the next part of this story takes me as piece by piece the truth is revealed to Guen and the romance builds between her and the guys. I just honestly Guen stop acting like a teenager and that there are no more ridiculous names that really donât even work in fiction.
