Book Review: Faerie Marked by Brea Viragh

 

Book Description

No one said escaping her bloodthirsty fated mate would be easy.

Half Fae half wolf-shifter Tavi Alderidge’s only chance to dodge a dangerous and disturbing arranged marriage is to attend the Fae Academy for Halflings. There’s just one problem: shifters aren't allowed.

Her hope comes in the form of a potion to suppress her shifter half while she works to earn her ticket to Faerie, the cost steep but one she’s willing to pay for a chance to escape. However, surviving the Academy’s cullings meant to weed out the weaker students isn’t all it’s cracked up to be when a murderer begins taking out the top students.

Soon, Tavi finds herself doing the one thing she swore she would never do: falling for another student. And when she discovers he’s the Crown Prince of Faerie, she realizes the one person she thought she could trust is the last person who can ever learn her secret.

My Review

Tavi is half human, half wolf shifter and her uncle who got custody of her when she was young after her parents were killed for being by the Fae for being together just told her that she is to be mated to the enemies alpha.  He's a mean, cruel wolf shifter and she wants nothing to do with him so she enrolls into the Fae Academy for Halflings. Only problem is they don't allow half wolf shifters there so she has to make a deal with a witch in order to magically cover what she really is and keep it a secret from everyone there. 

This book starts off so well but it is very long winded and very wordy. Some of the characters at the school were just not nice and the guy she likes ends up being a rude jerk of a guy who only really thinks about himself. The killer mystery was a good storyline and did add to the drama of this book but Tavi is very angsty and her continuous drama-filled worrying took away from the enjoyment of the story. 

I give this book 2 out of 5 stars.
