Quicksilver is a mesmerizing journey into a world where secrets are as dangerous as the unforgiving desert Saeris Fane calls home. Saeris Fane is on the verge of death after stealing from the Royal Guard. As she tries to escape, her chance encounter with Kingfisher, a deadly Fae warrior, plunges her into a frozen realm of ancient conflicts, dangerous creatures, and betrayal. Kingfisher is the ultimate morally grey, shadow daddy, tatted Fae warrior. Saeris and Fisher evolve from enemies to lovers, captivating the audience as their passion radiates off the page. The spice is present. I loved the intimacy of kisses more than the actual spice! Saeris is one strong and brave human. That girl can fight! I loved her ability to adapt to the unknown. The other Fae warriors are breathtaking - I claim full dibs on Ren - his braid..Oh my god, I love every single time his war braids are mentioned. The pacing of the story was fast but not too fast. The book is very thick - roughly 650 pages- so the level of detail is in full depth. The ending was full of twists and turns and one particular scene I DID NOT see coming! If you're a fan of ACOTAR, Powerless, and romantasy, read this book now!

Okay, where do I even start with Callie Hart's Kingfisher? This book absolutely wrecked me—in the best way possible. I read all 609 pages not once, but twice in just one week. Yes, that's 1218 pages of sheer fantasy awesomeness. I was so obsessed that I used an entire company holiday just to dive into this book. I didn't get anything else done that day, and honestly, I wouldn’t have had it any other way. This book is like a fantasy lover’s dream come true. It’s packed with vampires, fae, different realms, and evil royalty. If you’re into the “who did this to you” trope or fated mates, you’re going to be hooked. And if you’re a fan of characters like Rhysand or Xaden, Fisher is going to blow your mind. He’s got that grumpy, sarcastic charm with a side of mysterious darkness that makes you fall head over heels. The world-building in Kingfisher is seriously impressive. I was a bit daunted by the page count at first, but once I got into the groove, I couldn’t stop. The pacing might be a little slow at the start, but stick with it. The story quickly ramps up into a wild ride of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. And the quicksilver magic system? So cool and unique—clearly a lot of thought went into making it feel fresh and exciting. Saeris, the protagonist, is strong, relatable, and just the kind of hero you want to root for. And Fisher? He’s the ultimate shadow daddy—grumpy, sarcastic, and irresistibly hot. The romance is steamy, the political intrigue is intense, and the plot twists are enough to make your head spin. I was so engrossed that I had to set the book down a few times just to process what was happening. In a nutshell, Kingfisher is a phenomenal blend of all my favorite fantasy elements and romance tropes. Callie Hart has officially made it onto my must-read list.

Quicksilver, by Callie Hart, is an absolutely mesmerizing romantasy story that sweeps you up into the unique, complex world with all its drama. It has high stakes, an unusual and creative, suspenseful plot, and a slow-burn, heart-melting romance. Essentially, Saeris Fane, a human girl from a poor section of her rather brutal district, is pulled through a portal to save her life and because she seems to possess a rare, but much needed ability. She emerges into a fae world where even more dangers abound and mythical, magical creatures exist. The band of fae warriors are on an epic quest and Saeris is swept up into by a binding oath. The story is long, but reads very quickly, and it’s easy to immerse yourself in the plot with its constant action, character development and intriguing magic system. The found family is powerful and moving. The enemies to lovers romance is swoon-worthy and steamy. And the real and magical creatures, including fae, vampires, fire & water sprites and a white fox companion make the story even more captivating. This was such a gripping, emotional story and I cannot wait to read the next installment.

“He is the storm. You are the peace that must come after it. Tell me, do you believe in the fates, Alchemist?” Oh God, where to begin? I haven’t felt this way about a book in such a long time and I am so freaking grateful that I decided to start this one. Let’s start by saying I gave this book 5⭐️ and my heart is achingly and anxiously waiting for book 2. Not only the story was captivating, the magic system incredibly interesting and the possibilities huge, but this book managed to deliver a plots and twists while keeping you engaged with the romance, keeping such a great balance in what I am usually looking in romantasies. I swear I couldn’t put it down, my heart was constantly beating so hard. And the characters? Saeris was such a likable main character, strong and brave without being too unrealistic and made me feel everyone of her emotions. Now, the MMC? Kingfisher is EVERYTHING i am sucker for: tortured soul, broody, sarcastic, heart of gold hidden in an aura of darkness. And that mouth? Dirty dirty man. The relationship between Saeris and Fisher was so intense, from not standing each other to pining, longing, yearning and so much love. Ah, I need more. And the side character? Every time a new side character popped out I just fell in love. At first I was like okay, I see you Ren. Then Carrion made me laugh like a freak and became my fave, and then Lorreth? Come on, they were too good, the found family vibes got me in a chokehold. Plus, a book where the world is covered in snow is such a highlight for me. And to make it better? Add a furry friend in the picture, a cute white fox. Note: and the spice was GREAT🔥🌶️
