Slave (A Dark (A Dark(ish) Faerie Tale #1) by Candace Blevins




Blurb:
Because you're never too old for Faerie Tales... 

Halflings born in the human realm can stay if they can pass for human, but a baby with bright red and yellow hair, pointed ears, glowing green eyes, and swirled purple and green nails had to be relocated. With no family in Faerie to claim her, the newborn was auctioned off as a slave.

In Faerie, slaves are property with no rights. The baby is now an adult, and has been given in tribute to The Winter Queen.

Queen Mab has worked hard to make everyone in Faerie fear her, but her new pleasure slave enjoys the kiss of her whip. Can the Dark Queen have a tender side? The Dragon King once loved her, after all, so there has to be more to her than the evil, ruthless queen we've seen so far.

Climb aboard and experience the best and worst the Winter Queen can dish out.


Slave is book one in the Dark(ish) Faerie Tale quadrilogy. The series takes place within the greater Kirstin O'Shea universe, but can be read without being familiar with the other books and series.

My review:
Slave is the first of the four tales it is going to take to span the life of a pixie/human child who has been raised to be a pleasure slave because she had no family to claim her. She ends up in the court of The Winter Queen where this story takes place. The author puts us into the head of the Slave so we can understand what she is feeling. Seeing her world through her eyes gives you a different perspective. This story took me to a very different world and I am looking forward to seeing where she goes from here.
