Worst of all, she’s forcing Olive to spend the day with her sworn enemy,…

Taunting Destiny (Fae Chronicles Book 2) by Amelia Hutchins

I stumbled upon this series after I finished the ACOTAR series.  I was looking for more Fae. and I liked this was more adult.  I read the first one liked it but didn't pick up the second one right away.  Well, I finally did and I am glad because it's just as good as the first one, maybe better.   Overall Rating: 4.5Buy it
