Wicked Series Book 3.5: The Prince by Jennifer L. Armentrout

The Prince (A Wicked Trilogy, #3.5; 1001 Dark Nights, #85)
Wicked Novella Book 3.5

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes a new story in her Wicked series… 


She’s everything he wants…. 


Cold. Heartless. Deadly. Whispers of his name alone bring fear to fae and mortals alike. The Prince. There is nothing in the mortal world more dangerous than him. Haunted by a past he couldn’t control, all Caden desires is revenge against those who’d wronged him, trapping him in never-ending nightmare. And there is one person he knows can help him. 


She’s everything he can’t have… 


Raised within the Order, Brighton Jussier knows just how dangerous the Prince is, reformed or not. She’d seen firsthand what atrocities he could be capable of. The last thing she wants to do is help him, but he leaves her little choice. Forced to work alongside him, she begins to see the man under the bitter ice. Yearning for him feels like the definition of insanity, but there’s no denying the heat in his touch and the wicked promise is his stare. 


She’s everything he’ll take…. 


But there’s someone out there who wants to return the Prince to his former self. A walking, breathing nightmare that is hell bent on destroying the world and everyone close to him. The last thing either of them needs is a distraction, but with the attraction growing between them each now, the one thing he wants more than anything may be the one thing that will be his undoing. 


She’s everything he’d die for….

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Oh my God!!!! This cannot be a done series. No freaking way! First off, one of my favorites series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. And I was ecstatic when I heard that there would be a follow up novella, but after that cliffhanger ending, no one can tell me that is the end of this series! So good!! Okay, so what happened? Without spoilers of course. The book starts not too long after the third book Brave ended. The Queen is gone and everyone is beginning to heal. However, there is still one tragedy left and everything changes for Brighton. Two years later and Brighton isn't who she used to be. She's a survivor and furthermore she is a hunter, not that the Order knows that. She's set on revenge and her path comes someone...surprising. The Prince, aka Caden, has his own plans of revenge after the spell that made me a slave. And when younglings of the Summer Court are missing, Brighton and Caden find themselves working together on both goals. But neither expected the spark between them. They both know nothing can happen, but that will that be enough? 

Really loved the story. The story is told through Brighton's point of view and though she was in the earlier books, getting her thoughts and learning about who she is was such a treat. And through her we get a look at Caden who for so long was seen as a villain because of the spell that enslaved him. New enemies and conflicts arise, and though I haven't heard anything about the series continuing, I have to believe there will be more. Love this series.
