A Court of Thorns and Roses
by Sarah J. Maas
Nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods to feed her struggling family, and a fae creature arrives to demand payment: she must leave her home and live in Prythian, the faerie lands beyond the wall. At the estate of the masked High Lord Tamlin, she finds a court under a curse and a darkness spreading across the land. The first book in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series.

Jim's Review
A Beauty and the Beast riff with faeries, curses and a heroine who would rather hold a bow than a teacup. The first half is a lush slow burn in an eerie enchanted manor; the last act turns into a deadly series of trials that finally lights the fuse. It plays like a warm-up for the sequel, where the series opens up. Content note: explicit sex scenes and violence. Three worms — the price of admission to a much bigger ride.
