A Sword of Blood and Roses is an enemies to lovers dark fantasy romance, where  Trina, a human witch, is kidnapped by Logan, the high fae elven lord who was assigned to kill her. Together they must figure out why the queen wants her, and her family dead, while also figuring out their own complicated feelings towards each other.

This book jumps right into the story. You're immediately pulled into the lives and minds of both MCs, and though the story is very plot-driven, you don't miss out on getting to know and love the characters.

And the romance, while spicy, is also swoony, and sweet. Trina battling herself and her attraction to Logan because he's supposed to be her enemy, is almost as good as Logan says to hell with it, and loving her even though he knows he'll outlive her by thousands of years. I LOVE THEM! 

The fairytale aspect of the story shows up, but doesn't drown out the originality of the plot, and the characters, though inspired by past renditions, are very much their own with their own personalities. I love all of them. They are fun and fierce, and layered. The world building is really interesting also, with fae and fairy, and all manner of creatures. I'm excited to keep reading this series!.
