$8.99
BLURB:
From the USA Today bestselling author of Fairydale comes a brand new romantasy about a hopeless woman willing to risk her immortal soul for the chance to have her most ardent wish come true and an emotionless ancient god who will do everything in his power to stop her.
Gods walk among us. They are powerful. They are immortal. They are…bored.
Every century, they create a deadly spectacle—the Wishing Game—where mortals compete for the ultimate prize: one wish granted by the gods themselves. But there’s a catch. If a participant dies in the game, they forfeit their immortal soul.
Lucero Archibald lost everything. When she receives an invitation to the Wishing Game, she is desperate enough to accept it. Her wish?
Bring back her beloved from the dead.
Thrown into a world of ruthless competitors and treacherous gods, Luce forms an unlikely alliance with three others: Thea, a bubbly self-described harpy; Cerenios, her demon-hunter brother who shields more secrets than swords; and Ze, a cocky and insufferable soldier who seems determined to challenge her at every step.
As Luce faces increasingly deadlier trials and forces beyond her comprehension, she must decide how far she’s willing to go. With every trial, the price of victory grows steeper, and soon she’ll have to answer the ultimate question:
Is one wish worth her immortal soul?

MY REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 🔥🔥
Fantastic start to a new romantasy…
Be prepared to dive into this chunky fantasy novel and fall completely in love. And be prepared to collect Easter eggs along the way to support the many theories you’ll have. Oh and let’s not forget the cliffhanger that will leave you craving more.
Luce is at the end of her rope and ready to risk it all to participate in the Wishing Game. She’s one of many mortals competing for the ultimate prize of being granted their one true wish from the gods themselves as long as they’re willing to risk their immortal soul. Luce finds herself teaming up with a group of strangers in a chance to make it to the end.
Along the way through the deadly trials she learns bits and pieces about her new teammates and the world they’re really from. Her alliance is with Thea and Cer – the interesting sibling duo of bubby girl and stoic demon slayer – and Ze – the mightier than everyone, cocky solider. They face many challenges together across multiple worlds that push Luce to her limits.
The dynamic between Luce and Ze is the absolute best. He’s so full of himself while also having a sweet innocence about him while also being a deadly, highly protective, sometimes emotionless killer. Luce finds herself growing closer to him and becoming protective of him when those around them treat him terribly. Him and his desire to earn extra points from Luce is just adorably endearing.
This book was so good. It has all the action and adventure you want from a fantasy with all the sweet romantic moments mixed in. Even if one of those moments involves bringing a cow across worlds to provide for her. There’s plenty of mystery and twists too. I can’t wait for the next book.
