Poetic Review - Heartless by Gena Showalter

Don’t miss the first book in New York Times best-selling author Gena Showalter’s sexy, heart-pounding new Immortal Enemies series about a ruthless warrior hellbent on revenge, the fae princess determined to thwart him at every turn, and the desire that threatens to consume them in Heartless.

 Vengeance is irresistible…

Kaysar the Unhinged One, fae King of Midnight, can drive anyone to madness with his song. A ruthless warrior forged in hate, he lives to force his enemies to their knees. He will stop at nothing to succeed—even abduct and seduce his foe’s beloved bride, ensuring his own child one day sits on the male’s throne. Except, his prize escapes to the mortal realm before the first kiss, her heart transplanted into a mortal beauty with dangerous secrets…

Chantel “Cookie” Bardot is a professional gamer girl great at trash talking, bad at peopling. After a long awaited surgery, she begins to morph into a powerful fae princess. Catapulted into a strange land ruled by a cruel but seductive villain, she must battle flesh and blood monsters and navigate royal intrigues. But the true danger is Kaysar, whose every wicked touch tempts her beyond reason. Should she run…or descend into the darkness with him?

This is the first book in Gena Showalter’s brand new series,

And beware, it’s not for the faint-hearted, or the babies.

But if you want to read something like a sexy, dark fairytale,

You don’t need to look further, Heartless will avail.

 

The title is fitting, because there are some bad deeds detailed,

And a lot of gore, not only what a cardiac transplant entails.

The latter is needed for our gamer girl heroine and it’s just the start,

As everything changes for her after she gets the fae princess’ heart.

 

Soon she has to realize that things she’s only seen on screen before,

Are very real in a realm where fae royals rule... and war.

But what if the new world and the powers are not so bad,

When one heals quickly, and easily pops off a monster’s head?

 

Then our hero, who’s not a regular fae king – if there’s even one,

But who lives for vengeance and who’s called the Unhinged One.

To not give any spoilers about their story, let it be enough to say,

That it would all be damned, if they both weren’t cray cray.

 

The intriguing side characters have to be mentioned this time, too,

There are surely many secret stories to tell about them, not just a few.

All in all, this may be a darker and bolder series than the others,

But equally great, so be sure to read them, one after another.
