(A Wicked Trilogy #1)

Jennifer L. Armentrout 

Things are about to get Wicked in New Orleans.

Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost everything at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart.

Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has shaped for her.

But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul.

Review

Jennifer L Armentrout, has created a paranormal romance series about Fae. These Fae are bad, and in Wicked we go on this adventure with Ivy Morgan, she is our narrative. She is sassy and as kicking, she is apart of a secret society who are the Order, who hunt and kill the fae. Ivy has a fun-loving Brownie for a roommate, Tink!

This was deviously hot, it is new adult, the characters are in their early twenties. I did like the story and the romance. Ren Owens is so interesting; he is our love interest. I wanted to know more about him, I loved him so much. He is so swoon worthy!

Wicked, is sexy, fun and an exciting action romance, set in New Orleans, this is a new to me trilogy that I am looking forward to finishing.

I found that the author did a good job of balancing the action and the romance, I only hope that this perfect balance stays throughout the series. They had some very, lovely sexy times and I was here for it all.

I look forward to reading more about, fae, brownies, and other, other world creatures. Overall, I give it a 4/5 stars. The ending felt a little rushed, I loved the murder mystery aspect too and the ending is left on a small cliff hanger and book two Torn is available everywhere now to read. I found that the whole trilogy is on audible escape plan.
