A Prince So Cruel (Healer of Kingdoms Book 1) Kindle Edition

He needs my help, but he’ll be my downfall.

A prince by morning.
A cretin by noon.
A beast by nightfall.

There is a curse on his blood, an ailment that, if revealed, could destroy his kingdom.

The only one who can help him is me, a human with average healing abilities. It’s what the Envoy told him, and her word is law.

I’m his only hope.

He sends his blue-blooded friends to kidnap me so I can join their quest to Mount Ruin, the only place where I can heal him.

The path is terrifying, and the prince is lying, hiding things from me. To make matters worse, he isn’t always nice. A Fae prince isn’t supposed to lust for a human, especially when she’s his prisoner. And a human girl isn’t supposed to burn for someone so out of her league.

The quest might kill me, but it’s my heart I’m worried about.

----

Featuring a troubled prince, a strong heroine, and an amazing supporting cast. This is an enemies-to-lovers series suitable for 17+ that grows spicier with every book. For fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout

I have read thousands of books in my 32 years and this has got to be one of my favorites. Even after weeks of being done with it I still find myself thinking about it! The story and world building is absolutely amazing and the writing is so great! I absolutely can't wait for book 2!

I have a love hate relationship with ending books on cliffhangers so it gets 4.5 because of this. A Prince so Cruel is captivating! I had a hard time putting it down and finished quickly. Parts of the book moved slower than I’d have liked, but when it was good, it was great! I cannot wait to read the book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Completely Epic Dark Fantasy Romance!
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2023
Verified Purchase
Dark Fantasy (or Dark pretty much anything) isn’t really my jam. I usually prefer my stories sweet, cozy, often epic, sometimes spicy, maybe paranormal, but always ending with a Happily Ever After! But this summers adventure wheel left me looking for something completely different to fill in that dark fantasy spoke and A Prince So Cruel was absolutely what I was looking for!

Epic✔️
Extra Spicy Romance✔️🌶️🌶️ 🌶️
Captivating and Intriguing plot points✔️
A wide, diverse, and engaging cast of characters✔️

I’ve read quite a few Beauty and Beast retellings and I’m being completely honest when I say this one was the most mysterious and intriguing and utterly unique one I’ve read by far!

Daniella is a Skew—a human with magical healing abilities—who lives in the normal human realm. Although she does enjoy a jont over to the Fae realm every now in then to shop for madicinal supplies of the Fae sort. It is on one such excursion that she finds herself kidnapped by 3 mysterious male Fae and plopped down in the middle of a quest she never saw coming. Now she must attempt to focus on the tasks before her, getting to and safely from the Sunder Mountains, healing whatever crazy battle wounds her new companions bring upon themselves, all the while trying to figure out what type of crazy mission her captors or comrades have gotten her into and refraining from succumbing to her growing attraction to the mysterious, moody, but all too sexy Seely Prince Kalyll. What is up with the devishly good looking prince anyway? And why does he seem to have a personality metamorphosis every afternoon and disappear every evening?

This book was nothing of what I expected! There was enough Darkness to really allow the moments of true light and happiness to shine, enough sizzle and spice to get you hot and bothered and then leave you satisfied, enough found family and comraderee to fill that need for coziness and warmth, and just enough deception and betrayal to make you gasp in anger and disbelief!

So if you are looking for something darker than your average Disney Fairytale, with captivating and enticing happenings, interesting and intriguing characters, lots of spice, and an ending that begs you to jump right into book 2, then you just have to read A Prince So Cruel!

3.0 out of 5 stars What a series….
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2023

I can say I went into this series with high hopes and was sorely let down :( The reviews don’t help a whole lot so I will make my list of pros and cons concerning this series, starting off with the best stuff first (which isn’t a lot😬)

PROS (possible spoilers!!!)
-This book starts off very strong! The MFC is very head strong, stubborn, yet selfless when it comes to her abilities to heal!
-Dani is SO passionate about her work, it’s very easy to love her whole character because she is without a doubt a love not a fighter.
-The group of friends with Dani and Kalyll are very close knit! They share lots of banter and at some points feel like a real life-long group of friends
-kalyll is such a sweetheart from the get go, yet he’s so mysterious which keeps readers engaged

Now for the stuff I didn’t care for..where to begin

CONS (Spoilers!!!!)
-The buildups were just not there… in book one when they fought in the cave and Kalyll almost dies, did nothing for me. The second book when Dani dies, did nothing for me. They all fell flat
-STEAMY SCENES FELT AWKWARD!! maybe I’m just weird but there was no creativity or explanatory metaphors when ANY steamy scenes. I also felt almost all of them felt super rushed, none felt they flowed naturally
-the connection between the MFC and MMC felt forced. Dani hated him then after Kalyll was nice a few times she was head of heels???
-This is a very juvenile type of writing. A reading level of at least 8th-9th grade…so nothing about the writing is fantastic.
-The writing style itself is very childish as well, the dialogue between characters sometimes seem odd or very dumbed down ( this is just a pet peeve of mine, I prefer a more mature style of writing)
-The story is just okay, not much world building or character growth at all! And yes ik the story of fae and humans tends to reuses terms throughout all stories (unseelie and seelie fae, etc). However, this gives authors a wide berth to create really grounded characters and plot! This does not happen in this series
-All the characters remain at a very base level, we never get to delve into them or feel a connection. Personally I even struggled connected with the MFC and MMC
-like I said before, NO growth between almost anyone. Kalyll was the only one I noticed and that was because he now has two personalities he had to coexist with, Dani stayed relatively the same
-Also, can we talk about bad Dani? This might have been just me but I found it so hard to follow Dani’s thoughts when she had parts of the demon in her creating “bad dani” thoughts. I couldn’t connect with her intentions, I didn’t feel the pressure behind her “tough decisions” when normal Dani and bad Dani battled thoughts

Overall thoughts-
This book is a light and fast read, that doesn’t require any effort to understand and won’t create much emotional attachment.

✅hate to friend/lovers
✅semi-love triangle
✅forbidden love (prince and commoner)
✅mates
✅could be considered dark beauty and the beast retelling

This book is a slow burn, with 2/5 chili pepper sp!ce rating.
It's another take on the beauty and the beast story. I enjoyed the story, it was a good pageturner.

There's a human FMC with healing abilities, a morally grey fae prince MMC, other fae, monsters, found family, banter, enemies to lovers, a fantasy world and a little sp!ce. If you like that, you should definitely get this book.

I am curious about the second book.

First of all I have to say that I‘m typically not really a fantasy reader but I saw some videos on TikTok about it and thought it was really interesting so I gave it a shot and don’t regret it at all! I’ve read it in one day started in the morning and finished at night because I could not stop! I loved every page and kinda didn’t want to continue reading because it would be over too fast lmao. Anyways a really beautiful Beauty and the Beast retelling and I will definitely buy the two other books of the series!! 🫶🏻

Since the author announced that she will be changing the covers (which I don’t get because these are beautiful) I hope I still get them before they get changed so all three of them match. :)
