Obsidian Prince by Paige E Ewing.
Liliana and the Fae of Fayetteville Book 3.
I loved the cover and blurb of this book. Even though I haven't read the first two books I still enjoyed this book. I loved Liliana. I liked how her abilities helped her to see people's different emotions and motivation. I liked her Desire to help people. I did like Alexander and how he and Liliana were together. Their chemistry. I also liked Giovanni and Lieutenant Runningwolf. Even Pete. I did like the ending. I'm looking forward to the next book. Would recommend.

In the third book in Paige Ewing’s Liliana and the Fae of Fayetteville series, readers rejoin Liliana at a particularly chaotic point in her life because the secretly half-Fae prince Colonel Alexander Bennett is stirring up war among the Fae. With the death of the lion-kin king, Liliana must either fight a lion or risk Bennett claiming the throne while a vengeful wizard has his eyes on Liliana’s dear friend Pete. When a vision reveals a strange and uncomfortable truth, Liliana must see if she can save herself and her friends before the kingdom collapses into war and threatens to destroy everyone she loves. With a host of fascinating characters and new and high stakes in the Fae realm, the readers must join Liliana in desperate circumstances and rediscover the magic, betrayal, and forbidden love that constantly appear in Fayetteville and among her people. The characters continue to star throughout this novel and really bring it to life, while Ewing’s magic system and Fae realm are complex, dangerous, and beautiful on every page. With new challenges to the peace Liliana has enjoyed for the last century, readers will be immersed in this fascinating magic system and the race to stop Bennett from starting a destructive war.

First and foremost thanks to the author and publishing house for the advanced read

I truly enjoyed reading this and didn't expect to laugh along this ride with the FL and ML. There were sound bites as well that are worth repeating in real life at least to my spouse for fun.

The author wrote the ML as a complex man who kind of tows the line of how we say morally gray. However the ends justifies the means but you can never question how he feels about Liliana. Speaking of our FL I found myself trying tell her to stop getting in situations. So it's safe to say I was highly invested in this book.

This book will give you everything: love, laughs, action, great building relationship with the leads and well paced story in my opinion.

Liliana has seen a future where handsome army colonel and secret fae prince, Alexander Bennett, is horrifically murdered and she needs to decide whether or not, and how to, prevent this from happening. In truth, she's attracted to Alexander, but she's not sure he is a good guy. Sigh! Does it matter? Bad boys can be so much fun! Really, wouldn't Lilly's hitherto reclusive existence be spiced up by hooking up with the dark and influential Alexander AND she saves him as well? This is why I loved this book from start to finish!

Liliana is a spider-kin whose four sets of eyes come in handy to see through time, space, and intent. She has spent a long and quiet life supporting herself by telling fortunes, and staying "off the grid", in a futuristic North Carolina that has a few technological advances beyond our time. But lately, her future-sight has led to her intervene in some pretty big machinations involving political intrigues and power shifts within the world of Others that includes fae, shifters, and wizards. Getting involved means collecting new friends, both Others and Normals, for the shy spider-kin who hasn't always processed the spoken word and social norms the way neuro-ordinary people would do.

I really enjoyed Obsidian Prince as the third in the "Fae of Fayetteville" series. Things are heating up with Alexander. Liliana's friendships are solidifying and her reputation is rising. Her concrete way of thinking conveys an amusing and endearing quality, as well as her proclivity to say exactly what is on her mind. Those who are close to Liliana trust her to tell the truth and this plays a crucial role in her ability to protect those she loves. I was fascinated by Paige Ewing's imagination and creativity in telling the story of a seer whose glimpses of the future can lead to more questions and confusion rather than a definite solution. There are so many future paths and each decision can alter them into even more possibilities. I felt very invested in Liliana and Alexander's dilemma and the anticipation of whether their mystery threat can be solved in time. Very exciting! Very sexy! Brilliantly envisioned! Like a reader stuck in a web, I am entrapped and need more. Bring it on, Paige Ewing!

This was a strong third entry in the Liliana and the Fae of Fayetteville series, it had that element that I enjoyed from the previous two books. It was everything that I was looking for and was engaged with what was happening. The characters worked in this world and was glad everything worked together. I enjoyed how Paige E. Ewing wrote this and am excited for more from them.
