Dethroned: An Inimical Prequel Novella

Genre: Fantasy, Young Adult, Science Fiction, LGBT

Blurb:

For eighteen-year-old Rouen Rivoche, being a fairy princess isn’t about fancy parties and happily ever afters.

Rouen’s people are the dark Fae whose powers of lightning, thundersnow, and all things Winter make them cold, severe, and 100% intolerant of rebellion.

Too bad being a rebel is in Rouen’s blood.

Against tradition, she’s teamed up with Syl Skye, the sleeper-princess of the fair Fae—a mortal enemy who Rouen should want to kill but only wants to kiss. Plus, to be with Syl, Rouen’s masquerading as a glam goth-rock star and human high school student. Honestly, Rouen doesn’t think things could get any more complicated.

Then, she discovers she must become Queen of the Winter Court or all her people will die. No pressure.

Now, dark forces are amassing in the Winter Court, turning Rouen’s people against her and blocking her path to the throne. Even Syl with all her powers of white flame and Summer can’t stop this new kind of evil.

Because betrayal cuts close when it’s someone you love… and now it looks like Rouen’s going to be dethroned before she ever becomes queen.

My Review:


Rouen and Syl are still looking for ways and times to be alone together so that they can snuggle with their favorite girl. But it is Christmas and spending some alone time together would be a great Christmas present for the both of them.

After they have a wonderful Christmas dinner with Syl’s mom Rouen is awakened during the middle of the night from dead sleep to the sound one of the most horrible screams she has ever heard. She awakes to find Syl in horrific pain and soaking wet. When she sees that Syl is injured she knows right away that it was a dark fae. To save Syl Rouen must travel to her home land to the Winter Court.

After saying goodbye to Syl and opening the ley-lines she is just about to step through to the other realm when Syl grabs a hold of her and is brought through with her. When they reach the other realm Rouen wants to send Syl back she is unable to reopen the ley-lines again as they are not obeying her commands.

Upon her arrival in the Winter Court Rouen learns that an evil force has taken control of the dark fae. If Rouen can’t find a way to stop this evil force then her people will die and what about the love of her life Syl? What is to become of her? Can Rouen save her people the dark fae? Can she save Sly? Will she become the Queen of the Winter Court?

I love following Rouen and Syl or their journeys and traveling to the other realms. I love the world of the Circuit Fae and watching Rouen and Syl working together to kicka**. They are amazing when fighting alone but together they are bada**. I have loved each and every book from this series and am always on the lookout for the next one.

Dethroned is filled with action from the first right up to the end. It will keep you turning the pages wanting to know what is happening next. Once I picked it up I couldn’t put it down. Yeah it was that good. I can’t wait book 3 Inimical.

Do I recommend Dethroned? Yes I do! If you like reading about the fae, other realms and watching two bada** chicks fight then you will love Dethroned.



Author Bio:

Raised by witches and dragons in the northern wilds, GIE writes angsty urban fantasy YA romance--where girls who are mortal enemies kick butt, take names, and fall in love against all odds.

She enjoys long hikes in the woods (where better to find the fair folk?), believing in fairies (in fact, she's clapping right now), dancing with dark elves (always wear your best shoes), being a self-rescuing princess (hello, black belt!), and writing diverse books about teenage girls finding love, romance, and their own inner power.

She might be planning high tea at the Fae Court right now.

GIE is multi-published, and in her role as an editor has helped hundreds of authors make their dream of being published a reality.
