Book Review: Rattled by Sakura Black

 

Book Description

What if you were Selected?

Personally, I’ve never had much of an issue with the fae. Sure, I was as surprised as any lass when they burst into our world over a decade ago, but every race has its pricks, us humans included.

When the fae leave their calling card in my bed, I’ve got no choice but to go on the run, fleeing into the vast Scottish Highlands. I’d been Selected, and nobody was going to bat an eyelash when the fae came for me.

Where are they taking us and for what? It’s anybody’s guess, but if I’d won a luxury cruise with topless hotties serving me aged scotch, then why would they go to such lengths to hide any information?

Hard pass on the kidnapping, thanks.


My Review

Ever since the fae came into this world over a decade ago, they pick people to go with them and they are never seen again. Kelsea gets chosen but she's not going quietly so she runs. She has no idea why the fae want her or why but she's not leaving her life up to them, no way. 

Rattle, a royal hunter is dispatched to hunt her down and bring her back. But Rattle ends up falling for her and he's not the only one. Rattle is a snake shifter and he ends up being a big softie when it comes to her. 

Kelsea has been in the Military so she's no wilting flower and can give as good as she gets, let me tell you. I love a fierce female character and she is that. 

I liked this story but it ends on a cliffhanger and didn't like that. That cover is terrible too. 

I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.

  2. I hate cliffhanger endings. Did they at least warn you of that? It's okay when I know in advance (they I can decide if I want to read the full series, and if not I don't start). It's surprise cliffhangers that bother me the most.

  3. I'm glad you mentioned the awful cover because that alone would have made me skip the book. And I try to subscribe to the "can't judge a book by its cover" but that one is really off-putting.

  4. From my perspective, honestly I like strong female characters too, so Kelsea sounds interesting. The cliffhanger ending would frustrate me as well

    Thanks for the honest review.
