Some think she’s a monster. He thinks she’s the love of his life. After she sent several men to the hospital, Dame Blanche Eva Winchester is learning to control her power. But she’s also bored to tears. Enter Prince Bertie, who offers her the chance to go undercover as a waitress in order to find out who’s attacking men in the parking lots of Folk-owned clubs. Bertie’s motives aren’t entirely … aren’t entirely innocent—he’s smitten by the lethal lady’s charms.
But he and Eva discover the attacks are part of a more wide-ranging conspiracy, involving the very survival of the Folk.
As their investigations bring Bertie and Eva closer, Eva finds the downside of dating a prince, even one as yummy as Bertie. But when the prince is attacked, Eva swears to protect him. To overcome a ruthless enemy, the two must stage a last-ditch battle in the blizzard-ridden mountains.
And this time they’ll need more than love and super strength to survive.

This book is filled with action, adventure, mystery, suspense, and of course paranormal romance!
This book has an excellent storyline that flows, great writing style with detailed scenes, well-developed characters, is fast paced, and keeps you completely entertained through the last page.
I really liked the main characters, Eva, Prince Bertie, Eva’s best friend and business partner, Marika, Marika’s significant other, Teran, Grim Morrigan, and his wife, Annie. I really enjoyed Eva and Bertie together! I loved their chemistry! I loved how they pushed each other’s buttons and at times drove each other crazy lol! And I loved the way they cared and doted on each other.
I really liked the author’s worldbuilding skills and how she was able to create this storyline that still felt believable. I liked that this book took place in modern day and that the Folk were very similar to the mortals. They listened to the same music, danced, texted on cellphones, and even looked just like mortals. They also weren’t immortal. However, they possessed an array of special skills/powers such as super power strength to being able to freeze your soul to being able to talk to animals, etc. I really liked this author’s version of the fairy world instead of the usual tiny sized, neon colored, winged flying creatures.
I liked that this book setting took place in the Colorado Rocky Mountain area. I used to live in Denver, Colorado, but it was nothing like the lovely picturesque Interlocken village that was ever so beautifully described. The author continues to find just the right words to describe a scene that makes you feel like you are right there and in that moment.
The author’s writing is strong and eloquently detailed. She really provided so much detail in her writing that it was easy to picture! There were a few times I found myself totally caught up in the story!
This book genre is marketed as a paranormal romance and yet the author found a way to throw in an adventure, mystery, intrigue, and suspense element to the book. It definitely added a fascinating extra component to the story!
The only ding I have is that I feel the mystery plot point ending was a bit rushed. I felt there was great mystery and suspense in determining the conspiracy and catching the members of the resistance. However, it felt a bit choppy and hasty with the conclusion. There had been such a build-up and anticipation and then it felt like the ball got dropped and all of a sudden, the mystery was over, and case closed.
With that being said, the romantic plot point ending was superb! I enjoyed seeing Eva and Bertie together and was happy to know that even though this was the final book in the series, their love would continue on.
There are some predictable scenes. However, there are still a few very unexpected twists and turns that you won’t see coming!
I really liked that at the end of this book was a list of all the characters names, their role in the book, and when they were introduced into the book series. This addition provided readers the opportunity for better understanding of the characters. Plus, this glossary was especially helpful for someone like me, who hadn’t read the other books in the series.
This book is Book Three of The Folk Trilogy Book Series. I had not read the first two books before reading this book, but I wish I had. There are many references to the previous book and the characters significantly overlap. It could technically be read on its own as a standalone. I wasn’t completely confused or lost. I just occasionally felt out of the loop and that I was missing important information about the characters and how they got to the point at where they are when book three starts. So, I personally would recommend reading the first two books, before you start book three.
All in all, I really enjoyed reading this book and would absolutely recommend it! I think all mystery and paranormal romance readers will like this book too! So, add it to your TBR List and get to reading – you won’t be disappointed!

This is Book 3 of the trilogy, but the first one I’ve read and I didn’t find myself lost at all. I absolutely adored the heroine Eva–I loved her attitude and voice. She has superhuman strength and a penchant for saving the oppressed from their tormentors, albeit with not as much discretion and anonymity as her superiors would like. I really liked Prince Bertie, who’s in love with her and in denial. He really cares about what happens to her–more than her liege should. Politically she’s all wrong for him–but he doesn’t care.
Eva goes undercover in a Barbegazi nightclub to find out who’s targeting Folk in the mundane world. And the mayhem begins!
This was a great story, full of wonderful real characters, snarky dialogue, and lots of action. The chemistry between the rebellious Eva and poor Bertie is undeniable, with both humor and pathos in turns and sparks aplenty. It’s the perfect culmination of their ongoing story, and makes me itchy to read the other two, to see what led up to this. Kudos to Meg Benjamin for writing a story that was stand-alone enough for a first-time reader to follow, and I will definitely seek out other titles by her in the future!
This was a thoroughly engrossing story and was the first I read in this series. Everything from the previous stories was explained without boring the reader. There was plenty of action, some steamy scenes, emotions, acceptance, and love. I loved the connection between Eva and Bertie. They just fit together. The backstory was interesting, and the world building was good. I recommend this story.
I received a copy of this story through Goddess Fish Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
Found, book three from The Folk Trilogy is the first book I have read by Meg Benjamin. The genre is a little different from I normally read and it only proves why I should go outside my comfort zone to try something new. I thought Found was a pretty good read.
I look forward to reading the previous books from The Folk Trilogy to find out what happened prior to Found. I give this one four stars.
I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
