The Cruel Prince meets marriage of convenience trope in this snarky enemies to lovers fantasy romance

The goblin prince killed my sister. I've waited years, but I've finally found the perfect revenge. Kier Kollastus is on the hunt for a bride. A human woman to usher in a new wave of peace between our warring kingdoms. Lucky me, I'm a human woman.

What better way to make him pay than to crawl into his marriage bed and cut his throat when he sleeps?

But Kier is indestructible except for one night every year. And worse—he’s not the barbarian goblins are supposed to be. He's intelligent and loyal and frustratingly handsome. If I’m not careful, I’ll lose my head.

Or my traitor heart.

The Goblin’s Bride is an enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance with a murderous heroine and a brooding goblin prince.
For fantasy romance fans obsessed with Sarah J. Maas, Holly Black, and Raven Kennedy. You’ll love this snarky, slow-burn spicy enemies to lovers series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Now mind you it’s not super deep at first, and based on a fantasy world, there’s some references that wouldn’t make sense…it still was a fun read.
At first I thought the mfc was a bit too murderous and the cussing was a bit to swallow down. Her constant thoughts of violence were also a little much at first…the first time I read it. I just read it for a second time since book two was released and I finally came to appreciate the very dark sense of humor. The character is wild, sassy, and daring and eventually you come to love her.

As the story unfolded, I really got into the storyline. I was so bummed that book 2 wouldn’t come out for a YEAR! This story leaves you on a huge cliff hanger. Ugh! Anyways, once you get past the language and violent outbursts, it’s quite entertaining and you find the humor under the grittiness and a character who’s no hero yet you ultimately can’t help but root for.

Review:

I think I got this book when it was free one day and honestly, I'm glad I gave it a chance. It sounded like an interesting read and it definitely delivered. There were some great things about it and also some slightly not so great things, but it kept me turning the pages and I even got the sequel.

Firstly, I really love the premise behind the story and this mystery we are provided as a reader. The FMC has spent her entire life thinking that the Goblin Prince killed her sister. She uses this as motivation for revenge, leading her to great heights within the military, even though it's more of a vapid position than a real one. The chance arises for her to become the bride of the Goblin Prince and she jumps on it, taking out her competition and marries him.

Her plan to take him out quickly and return home hits a snag when she realizes he is only vulnerable one night a year and it's a ways away. She is forced to live in this world and interact with the Goblins for some time. This allows her opinions of them to be changed and as she gets closer to the King, she realizes he isn't what she thought he was and feelings begin to develop. -- Overall such a great plot line and the way it ended was on a cliffhanger and I had to dive into book two.

Secondly, the characters themselves feel a little vapid? The MMC wasn't interested in our FMC because he thought she was a simpleton, but as she starts to let her true colors shine, suddenly she is all he thinks about. She is made out to be this warrior, thief and great warrior, but we see none of that outside of her sneaking around and climbing walls of buildings. There are no fight scenes for her even though the book felt like there should have been. Everything just felt like it was tied up in this neat little bow and like the characters were going through the motions they should be, but I was missing a bit of the tension I would have liked to see. A bit of the challenge. They are meant to be enemies, but they get over it really quickly. There's a bit of banter, and while I'm a sucker for banter, it felt a bit forced at times. Their sexual chemistry though was top notch and it did fill the hole for some of the heat I felt the book was missing.

Thirdly, I have to give these women credit that the world they have built is amazing. I like the subtle nuances they provide that you give this understanding that the humans and Goblins are both prejudiced against each other, despite not knowing really anything about them. They are so much alike, something we learn alongside our FMC, and I think it would solve a lot of the worlds issues if they just came to that conclusion themselves.

Regardless, the way the author sets up the world and what I suspect to be the second book, was in my opinion, pretty flawless.

Lastly, I will say the book felt a bit predictable. Normally I'm not one to hate on predicability, especially considering there are only so many new books that can be created at this point in time. All books deal with the same tropes and twists, but the journey there is what is different. In this case, the ending was surprising but the journey there (meaning the little twists along the way) was a bit expected.

Overall I really did enjoy this book, and I have started the sequel and can't wait to finish it!

I read this last summer and just reread it because the cliffhanger had me in a chokehold. I've waited forever for book 2 and now its here I'm so excited. The tension between the two MCs is insane. And I hope it continues. No spice in book one but it didn't need it. The plot is good and I cant predict the twists and turns which is nice.

Authors Leigh Kelsey and Lysandra Glass have come together in the new high fantasy series A Feud So Dark and Lovely. This is an enemies-to-lovers romance as an unlikely pairing comes together, it's filled with strife as the humans and Goblins war with each other, has a unique, almost scientific, magic, and has a dash of mystery.

Since the story is told from Zabaletta "Letta" Stellara's perspective I got a better feel of her than that of her love interest, Keir Kollastus. From what I gather Keir is a great prince, he's there for his people and is respected. He's part of a great friend group and has a dark but steamy edge to him, which might help out with Letta because Letta is crazy, no joke. She's an assassin and her internal monolog, it's funny as hell, crazy remember. However, I think she also has a bigger heart than she let's on and her time with the goblins changes her.

The wild magic that's roaming about the goblins' land adding a little mystery to the story. However, it was the actual goblin magic that was really interesting. Gemstone magic is used in almost scientific productive ways instead of a wish for all. Used to bake the bread, chop veggies, and heat water, it was very practical and something I haven't come across before.

The Goblin's Bride had me on edge the entire time because I just knew something was gonna happen and it did. The ended on a devastating note that leaves me afraid about what could possibly be coming next but I have to know. Things can't get worse for them, right?

Give me more! I can’t wait for book 2.

I was worried at the beginning that the story would drag on, but the plot quickly got moving and Zabaletta’s snark was delightful.

And that ending! Didn’t see it coming. Loved it.

This was a sad book in a way. A human marries a goblin prince to get revenge .
She is taken to his castle- and discovers his people are similar to hers. An interesting story.
