Description
There’s only one rule that truly matters. Never fall in love with a human. Break it and die.
Living under the radar in New York City, Sav just wants to carve out a life in her new world. That hope is shattered when the leader of the anti-fae movement destroys her home in an attack on her people. Finding herself caught between protecting a deadly secret and saving the fae from the humans bent on slaughter, Sav must infiltrate the extremist's inner circle, posing as a human, and seduce her sworn enemy’s son.
Jack, the son of the infamous anti-fae-faction leader Dane Clyde, has always lived in his father’s shadow. When a woman is brought into AFF headquarters in chains, he finds himself drawn to her despite the danger. Caught between duty and desire, Jack must choose a side before one is chosen for him.
What began as a mission to rescue Sav’s people may end up costing them both so much more than they bargained for.
Whispers Among Thorns is perfect for fans of Throne of Glass and Quicksilver.

What a great read! I was hooked from the first page.The book totally surprised me—in the best way. I went in expecting a fun fae fantasy, but what I got was so much more. It’s emotional, intense, and full of that irresistible tension between loyalty and love. Sav is such a strong, layered character, and I really connected with her struggle to protect her people while walking this really dangerous line. And Jack? His conflict and slow-burn connection with Sav had me totally invested.
The modern urban setting mixed with fae politics felt fresh and exciting, and the pacing kept me flipping pages late into the night. The twists genuinely caught me off guard a few times too.
If you love fae stories with heart, danger, and a good dose of forbidden romance, you’ll love this one. I already can’t wait for the next book!
*thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

This was my first ARC on NetGalley and by this author. I wasn’t disappointed! This was a great Romantasy! Our FMC wants to save her kind but doesn’t have her magic to help. Cue, fate and she meets the son of enemy #1. He is basically perfect ( in my opinion of book boyfriends), however can we really trust him. There is also a prince that’s makes it hard to know which MMC to truly root for. Team Kasper or Team Jack???? So hard to decide. I really enjoyed the world building through out this book too. There was great slow burn/tension between our main characters. Of course, since there is another story we are left we so many questions ( really just the right amount of questions). I didn’t think the ARC thing through though because now there is so much longer before I can visit this world again! I am looking forward to exploring more from this author!

Absolutely loved it, I'm really loving the fantasy genre at the moment and this had everything, loved the friendship between sav and kaspar and cannot wait to find out Jack's story . Can't believe I have to wait now for book 2! New author to me so will definitely be reading previous books. Thanks
