We need hope, or else we cannot endure. 

Wow...I don't even know how I can do this book justice, but here goes nothing.

Feyre is a huntress. Her and her family's survival is based upon what she kills. Feyre lives in a world that was once ruled by fae, but now faes are just legends. She's heard the stories of faeries crossing the wall separating them from the mortals, but she scoffed at it as most of her village did. 

One day, while hunting, she comes face to face with a wolf. Legend has it fae sometimes take the shape of wolves to hunt in mortal lands. She hesitates on killing it, but soon hunger and the price of the pelt clouds her judgment and she kills it without a second thought.

Soon after, a ferocious beasts come barreling into her cottage, demanding for the murderer. Turns out, Feyre was wrong. That wolf was a faerie, and now she must pay the price for it. Whisked away to a magical kingdom, Feyre soon finds herself in the world of fae, ones with strange masks on their faces. Feyre soon discovers that her handsome captor is hiding more than he claims. Soon, Feyre's hostility towards him soon turns to passion, which makes the land of the fae an even deadlier place. Feyre must break an ancient curse to save those she loves.

This book was even better than I thought it would be. People have been telling me to read it for a while now, and I'm glad I finally listened. I honestly wasn't sure if I would like it or not, since hyped books tend to not live up to my expectations. This one, however, far exceeded my expectations. Now onto book two.

Don't feel bad for one moment about doing what brings you joy.
