Book one takes us on Virgies journey and I must confess, this is awesome! These characters continue on with just a little lapse time in between. The author fills in that time warp perfectly. My familiarity with these characters and the conflict between the courts made this book fly by exponentially! Absolutely moving on to book two! All my reviews are always voluntarily written.

This is a great story and I love the characters. Virgie (Vergeat) is a mentalist fae, that are very rare. The story starts off with her being in the with the vampire who payed for her to be his courtesan. She learns that her vampire boss doesn’t want her anymore and has sold her to someone else. She learns that she is getting sold to the summer court because they need her rare skill. But she thinks she doesn’t have a rare skill. They tell her that she is Mentalist Fae. She meets Nathan who she finds that she is attracted too. She learns that she has no say in the fae court. She must stop a war from happening. Will Virgie and Nathan go through with there attraction? Will she learn her skills to help the earth bound fae that the summer fae saved? Will she be able to stop the war from happening?

This is the story of Virgie and how she ends up in faeland and being taken is by the Summer Court. The story was interesting and entertaining although I spent most of it waiting for Virgie to loose her cool and scream at a few people. It was full of suspense, danger, waiting for betrayal I thought was around the corner for sure, and hoping Virgie would survive and find a home and friends where she would feel safe. It kept me reading and in suspense for what would happen next and what craziness would show up next. Just a great beginning to the series where the people are intense and crazy.
fantastic first book.
Reluctant Fae is book one in Fae Prison academy and a sequel of the Cruel Elites series.
Virgie’s vampire master sold her. At first she’s scare she’s being send to a crueler vampire but is shocked to find that a fae is taking her to the Summer Court.
In the Faeland, Virgie must devolp her magical abillities and prove her loyalities to the Summer King if she doesn’t want to be exiled back to earth.
And the Winter and Summer court are on the verge of war. Except is the King could accept the terms of peace of the Winter princess Onyx…
I have received and arc of this book from Holly Hook.
Magic, vampires, fae of the Summer and Winter Court, and a young fae, Virgie, who is swept from vampire courtesan to service of the Summer Court king in Faeland. This was a superb novel. No surprise as it’s written by two of my all-time fantasy authors (and I reads many tons of fantasy novels). It’s wonderful watching Virgie deal with everything, train and grow, with romance on the way to add some spice. Perfectly written and perfect fun, I highly recommend this book.
War between the Summer Fae and the Winter Fae is imminent. Virgie didn’t know why her master never used her as a blood courtesan until a year had passed and he suddenly sold her to the Summer Fae. But Virgie has heard stories about King Peter and his Summer Court and is more terrified of going there than being a blood courtesan. And she was right. King Peter is a psychotic ruler bent on revenge against the Winter Court and will sacrifice anyone to get what he wants. He will sacrifice the Fae rescued from Nocturnal Academy as warriors in his war against the Winter Court, and he wants Vergie to use her mental abilities against the fae and force them to do his bidding. But Virgie is the only one seeming to speak her mind and she doesn’t want to go against Princess Onyx of the Winter Court as she is the only one who ever helped her at the Academy and she trusts her. Now she has to balance pretending agree to the King’s requests while trying to get Nathan, Caleb, Peony, and Kristen and the other fae to realize the King’s true intent.

I’m really enjoying this spin off from CRUEL ELITES series. In this book we are back with Virgie. It’s now her turn to venture into the Summer Fae court. There she encounters both Peony and Kristen once again as she learns the ropes and finds her own possible romance. Virgie has a keen intellect and easily sees through their King. Can she convince others around her that he doesn’t have everyone’s best interest at heart? True to form there’s tons of political intrigue, deception,and suspense… And one uber smart, canny, fierce female at the center of it all. It does end with a cliffhanger, and I for one can’t wait for the next book in this exciting series!

Reluctant Fae (Fae Prison Academy Book #1)
The prequel of this series was based around Peony & the Summer Courts illegitimate son, Cade. Book #1 is about Virgie & the Fae High Commander Nathan.
After being sold by Thorrsten’s sire, Virgie is truly fearful for what’s to come, but a Fae called Cade arrives & takes her to the Faeland! She can’t believe her luck initially & is stunned at how beautiful her true home realm is! It soon becomes apparent that she has a particular power that’s rare among the Fae & the Summer Court King wants her to prove her allegiance to him. Her power is to persuade others, She’ll need to develop other mind skills with training too! She’s excited until her teachers start to make her use skills on other Fae brought there from Earth. She’s forced to make them concentrate in lessons & comply with instructions! That’s just the start!!
She’s pleased to realise Peony really has changed & learns she was a part of the attack & destruction of the dreaded Nocturnal Academy! They agree to a redo of their relationship as new Fae! As time goes on they both come to realise they’re still viewed very much as beneath the rest of the Fae, they aren’t even being taught to fly!!
Nathan is a stoic young man & Virgie can’t help becoming more attracted to him. However she doesn’t like his blinkered view of their king. When Princess Onyx came to offer peace talks, Virgie was able to slip past the King’s mental shields to try to calm him down. She saw a festering hatred of yellow, green & blackness inside of him. She believes he doesn’t ever want peace & only wants revenge and to crush the Winter Fae Court & it’s people, no matter how many of his own people have to perish to accomplish that goal!!!
I enjoyed this book. I love Virgie & slowly came to like Nathan, he was hard to like for a long time though!! Its pace could have been a little more urgent throughout, I felt, to up the tension & drama! The world’s this is set in are stunning and we got our first look at the Winter Court, so cool!The ending was horrifying, truly!! Roll on book #2 asap

A Fae, Virgie is a vampire courtesan to a very high and powerful vampire. He has never laid a hand on her in any way which is confusing for Virgie. She wonders why he bought her to be his courtesan. One day Virgie thinks she has fell out of favor with her master and is afraid that he is going to sell her to another vampire that will probably use and abuse her.
Imagine her surprise when that is not what happened. No before that could take place Virgie is swept away by a Summer Court Fae and taken to Faeland. In Faeland Virgie is to serve the king. Virgie is taught about the difference between the Summer Fae, the Winter Fae and all the Fae in the land and how to respect them. Virgie is also to be taught how to use her powers and practice so she can become stronger.
When her training is over Virgie is not sure where she if she will get to stay in Faeland or if she will be sent to Earth. Virgie works real hard in training hoping to pass the test of the Summer Court and hopefully she will be able to stay in Faeland.
Reluctant Fae is the first book in a brand new trilogy the Fae Prison Academy. Reluctant Fae took us into the beautiful Faeland where I felt as if I was there myself. I could just see all the beautiful colors in the fields and their clothes. The descriptions of the different colors made me feel all warm and cozy and light, happy. The world building was so well done I could see it in my head as if I had ESP or something. Maybe the authors had me under their spell or they have magic abilities like Virgie or something similar.
Reluctant Fae has suspense enough to keep you glued to the pages waiting to see what is going to happen next. The twists just keep rolling out keeping the pages turning twists that I never expected.
The vampires, Virgie and the Fae will keep you glued to the pages unable to put it down until you have read the last page with all these awesome new characters as well as a few that we already know from other books in the Nocturnal Academy series.
I highly recommend Reluctant Fae to all vampire, fae, and magic fans and to those who have read the Nocturnal Academy series. One click your copy today to begin this wonderful new adventure in the Faeland.
