A Court of Thorns and Roses
by Sarah J. Maas · 2015
Buy on AmazonWhen nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a terrifying creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not truly a beast, but one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled her world. At least, he's not a beast all the time. As she adapts to her new home, her feelings for the faerie, Tamlin, transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But something is not right in the faerie lands. An ancient, wicked shadow is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it, or doom Tamlin-and his world-forever.

"This is one of the most popular book series in the world of romantasy—and with good reason. Book one is fun, book two and three are even better and there are plenty of great plot twists to keep you hooked in this five book series (with another book on the way). What starts out as a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, when 19 year old Feyre is forced to go and stay with a wolfish Faerie in order to save her family, turns into a world of warring Fae from different courts, where nothing is quite what it first seems, with the heroes turning into villains and vice versa. (A Court of Thorns & Roses is also known as ACOTAR among fans . )"
