One hybrid Fury queen. Three pure-blood Dragon Princes. A reverse harem with a dark fairy tale twist and an epic flair! My name is Daisy. I’ve been cursed to serve a bad-tempered elemental in my beastly form for centuries. There’s only one way to lift the curse: a kiss from three true loves. To garner even one is nearly impossible. How am I going to get three? Then three gorgeous-as-sin, yet …
Then three gorgeous-as-sin, yet clueless dragon princes stumble into my lair. Only they do not come to kiss me. They come to slay me without knowing who I really am. Unless they cut the three heads of the Furies–my heads–or make the Fury Queen fall in love with them, they’ll never shift back to dragons.
Not surprisingly, the princes all choose what they think is the easiest–to behead the beasts.

Intereting world that blends fantasy, sci-fi, and paranormal world all together. This is just just story about a cursed dragon princess and her princes, but about beginning of a journey. Lots of steamy interactions, magic, action, and suspense. it was not super long, but an enjoyable story. It does unfortunately end in a little bit of a cliffhanger.
It’s no secret that I am a HUGE fan of Meg Xuemei X. I have read most of her books and LOVED every single one, so the day I got my hands on this one I did a happy dance. Then I sat down and devoured this book in one sitting. It’s not a short book, but I couldn’t put it down. Meg takes us back to Pandemonium, and we finally learn the Furies’ story. There are moments that make your heart break. There are also moments that will make you laugh. The adventure is non-stop, and you are thrust into very quickly. This isn’t a story that has a slow build up. The moments of passion, self-doubt, anger, and fear are all there as well. That’s all I’m going to say about the plot. I hate spoilers, and there is no way I can tell this story better than Meg herself, so I strongly suggest that you read it.
One of the reasons I love Meg’s writing is the amount of detail she goes into. Her characters are fully fleshed out. They aren’t just a character, they become people you know and love. Their personalities are set and the way they handle things is true to their character. This is very important in this world, because the characters pop up in each of the trilogies that make up this story. Another thing I love so much is her world building. The world is alive. You are IN that world and not just reading about it. Her story lines are also fantastic, but it is the way that the story line unfolds that is truly breathtaking. She tells the story from different POVs so you are living the story along with the characters. Their emotions, thoughts, and passion become yours. Her men are fierce protector/alphas and her females are all strong and independent. Neither of them back down even though there is some bending to find a compromise. The women don’t become weak after meeting the guy. They are just as protective of their men as the men are of their woman. I love this consistent emotional balance and example of how they stay true to themselves. Her pace is perfect, too. The story doesn’t drag, or rush, at any time. There aren’t any jumps or confusing set ups, either. And last but not least, is the passion. The chemistry between the characters is very spicy, and at the same time you feel the uncertainty that comes with any relationship. This one is slightly different (I’m not telling) and the uncertainty is more complex, but the passion is also more intense. I can tell you that there are many, many surprises in this one. There are a lot of questions that don’t get answered, but the story line itself ends at a natural place so it doesn’t feel like you are left hanging too much. Just enough to keep me checking to see when the next book comes out, lol. Without diving into the specific plot points that make this a fabulous read I can’t say more than that I LOVE this one. I can’t recommend it enough! I know that anyone who loves paranormal romance and fantasy will love it just as much as I did. READ IT!!!
This is a true trilogy, meaning you MUST read these in order, and they are part of a larger series. It isn’t necessary to read the entire series in order to love the trilogy, but there are somethings that make more sense if they are all read in order. Meg is wonderful about releasing her trilogies quickly, too, so you don’t have to spend a long time impatiently waiting to find out what happens next. Yes, I am impatiently waiting anyway…
This story is full of drama, suspense, action, and hot sexy romance. It was well written with amazing characters. The personalities of the characters are are felt throughout the story. The narrator Melissa Schwairy did a fantastic job with reading it. She didn’t sound like she was trying to hard or act out of her range. She brought the characters to life. I can’t wait to see how the story continues as it draws you in and delivers such an imaginative word. This is a must read or a must listen for it will have you in the world with it.
It strikes me that there doesn’t seem to be a explanation for the stars that are given. So I thought I’d start giving my take on it.
1 horrible no redeeming qualities.
2 there are redeeming qualities.
3 good worth reading, or well written but not my cup of tea.
