This is my new favorite series…ever!  At first, I had to be sold on the idea of a YA fantasy novel that involved faeries and such but I am so glad I stuck with it.  The first book introduces you to Feyre (Fay-ruh), our illiterate heroine, who is badass and snarky and can completely hold her own.  She is no delicate flower nor does she apologize for getting what she wants/needs from who/what she must.  It is really refreshing to read a YA novel OR a romance novel where the girl is not some untouched pure little being that is going to be corrupted.  Because this series is both – it’s YA and romance, make no mistake because the second book, in particular, is filled with HOT scenes.  Really, you read the first to get to the second and, at 600+ pages, it still is not enough.  I read these twice, back-to-back, because I knew there was nothing that was going to satisfy me until the 3rd book in the trilogy comes out in May 2017 except more of the first two – it is that good.
