“Amanda Hocking meets Sarah J. Maas!” – USA Today Bestselling Author Olivia Wildenstein
Ever Leath, leader of the deadliest crew within the Magical Enforcement and Containment Agency’s ranks, has always known she’s a half-breed—until a visit from her estranged mother changes everything. She’s determined to marry Ever off for political gain, no matter the consequences—even if it means Ever’s life.
Searching for the truth leads to disturbing doubts about Ever’s heritage, and just as answers appear, so does Dare Fitzpatrick. Captain of the Royal Goblin Guards and son to the current Goblin King, he claims he knows who Ever’s real father is and that she could be in danger. Ever doubts Dare, until he helps her escape the clutches of her would-be suitor and grants her shelter within the Goblin Kingdom.
Staying in Goblin, which has previously been off-limits to half-breeds, is a risk Ever has to take to keep everyone she loves safe. Neither of them planned on the fiery heat between them, but Dare won’t take no for an answer. Ever knows she can’t risk losing her heart to the cocky goblin, despite her attraction to him. At least that’s the plan.
Until it all falls apart.

If you can’t beat them at their game, sarcasm and snark is the way to go. Great introduction to the series. The main characters were all given enough intro to get through and not hinder the story line. Ev and her team have great camaraderie. Functioning more as a well oiled family than just another squad team. The chemistry between Dare and Ev sizzle throughout and it’s a painful denial on Ever’s part. The story itself flowed smoothly transitioning from one event to the next though.
While I really enjoyed reading this and can’t wait to grab the next one as soon as I can, thinking back on it, I might have to reread it again. I don’t think there was any resolutions as to what her markings meant. Sure there were some resolutions in other topics, but I thought there would be more progress when it came to the markings as is the title.
All the questions this book opened up will definitely keep you hooked and reaching for the next book. I do hope there’s some resolutions to some of them. I guess we’ll see how the next one pans out then.
