Review: Powerless by Lauren Roberts

In the kingdom of Ilya being a person without powers is forbidden and Paedyn has to navigate through this world hiding that she is without powers- an Ordinary. After her father is murdered by the king, Paedyn survives by stealing and pretending to have psychic powers. When she saves Kai, one of the princes, she comes to the notice of him and others. Kai has been trained by his father to be a killer; a killer of Ordinaries and threats to the throne. He is drawn to Paedyn and when she is added to the Purging Trials, she becomes his distraction. Paedyn has to hide her identity from the Elites- those who have powers and deal with her attraction to Kai. Through the trials they become close and she also becomes friends with his brother the heir to the throne Kitt. Kai and Paedyn have feelings for each other but in the end hatred will separate them. The first book in a trilogy, this set up the series well and was a fast paced plot. The banter between Kai and Paedyn was well developed as well ...

Review: A Curse For True Love by Stephanie Garber

The third book starts off where the second one left off with Jacks a wanted man and Evangeline having no memory of anything since the beginning of her journey. Apollo wants to keep Evangeline ignorant of her relationship with Jacks and Jacks needs her to gain her memories back. The opened arch released the Valor family, the old rulers of the northern kingdom, disguised as a new noble family. This causes complications in the kingdom and for Jacks and Apollo. Evangeline struggles to get her memory back, but she eventually starts to trust Jacks again. Events come to a satisfying conclusion and some characters receive the happily ever after they desired.  Ths third book was fast paced, but it was a fun and romantic adventure. I loved Jacks and his love for Evangeline, and the relationship they had. The story was well written and the world is well crafted and magical. A great end to Jacks and Evangeline’s story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
