I received a copy of this book for free from the wonderful author. Thank you so much!! All opinions are my own.
He cups me close to his face, near his mouth, so that his lips are grazing the reaches of my light. “You’re warm, B.” He grins. “Like a small fluttering bird.”
Then, his grin grows into something edging on salacious, and I have one hasty, breathless thought:
. . . He’s going to kiss me?
Nope.
At the last moment, he opens his mouth and shoves me inside.
If I’m not mistaken, I’ve just been swallowed.
. . . . . . . . . .
Bexley Lightborne is not your average run-of-the-mill mortal. She’s a realm-hopping, light-wielding badass . . . with just a touch of amnesia.
As shadows from the dark realm invade the world of light, Bexley enlists the help of a foul-mouthed, baby-faced newcomer holding magickal potential . . . who also happens to be the worst human boy Bexley has ever met.
Tethered together, two unlikely heroes will discover the truth of their forgotten bloodline and fight to reclaim what’s been lost, whether they want to or not.
Four colors collide in a war of light.
And all of this magick stuff? Pretty badass.

So this is my second book from Brindi and it completely floored me how well she wrote two different genres! You wouldn’t be able to tell she wrote a dystopian by reading this fantasy steampunk novel! Obviously I loved this book and I loved how this book was fast paced, but did not skimp on any of the plot or world building. The plot was amazingly well done and super developed and interesting throughout the novel. The characters were all well developed as well. Brindi does something very well in her books from what I’ve read so far. She is really good at writing in her characters voice. Bexley has a very distinct voice in this book and the book flows very well.
I only had one minor complaint and that was the relationship between Bexley and Pidd slightly creeped me out because he was said to be 17 and I grew up in Tennessee where 17 was considered a minor. But now I live in Georgia where 17 is considered an adult and in other states 16 is considered an adult. I had to keep reminding myself (like I do daily at work) that 17 is a legal adult but it is a hard habit to break. However it got easier to deal with throughout the book.
Verdict: If you’ve not read any Brindi Quinn books you NEED to. Like NOW. She writes amazingly wonderful books and they’re funny and deep at the same time. She’s wrote a ton of books and if these two are any indication she definitely proves herself to be a versitle author.
