The Dark King by Gina L. Maxwell

3.0

Thank you to netgalley and entangled publishing for an e-arc!

So to be honest this book makes me conflicted. I both liked and disliked this book. I kept reading because I couldn’t stop but I liked it less and less the more I read.

Blurb:
Bryn has a weekend trip in Vegas but after a night of drinking, she finds herself married and mated to the king of fae.

The Good
The blurb of the books makes it sound like a lot but at first when reading it, it’s not that bad. So I liked it. I liked that there was fae and she was kidnapped and forced to stay in his house while they sort out the mess of getting married. I also enjoyed the writing for the most part as well.

The not so good
I didn’t like the spice. I don’t mind bdsm and the dom sub type spice. But at times I found the spice to kinda put a sour taste in my mouth. I didn’t like the extreme submissive thing that Bryn did during any spice. There was also a kinda lack of world building. Like it kinda explains it but I felt like there were parts that could have had more. I also HATED the references to things like twilight and games of thrones. I feel like when a book any them, it really dates the book.

Overall
I liked it but I also didn’t. I wouldn’t recommend it.
