How Does It Feel? (Infatuated Fae, 1)

From breakout TikTok sensation Jeneane O'Riley comes the first in the Infatuated Fae series, full of forbidden enemies-to-lovers romance, twisty betrayals, and fairy tale magic.

A forbidden obsession

Unyielding family allegiance

Three deadly challenges

When a trip into the forest to collect a rare mushroom for her research goes horribly wrong, biologist Callie Peterson finds herself falling through a fairy portal and straight into the arms of the Unseelie Fae prince. The dangerously unhinged and viciously handsome Unseelie Fae prince. He thinks she's an assassin sent by the humans to kill him, not a scientist, and he imprisons her in his realm--where unwillingly, unwittingly, his obsession with her begins to grow.

Prince Mendax has never felt anything but loathing until his eyes met hers: this vile human assassin's. He believes she's here to kill him, and yet her beauty is a parasite that has mercilessly latched onto his mind and won't let go. He itches to feel her smooth skin, even though the Unseelie royals would rather burn than touch a human. It's a dangerous desire. If he does not destroy the girl soon, she may be the only thing capable of destroying him.

Mendax needs to be rid of her--but he also needs to entertain his people. And so, he challenges Callie to three deadly trials.

If she survives, she gains her freedom.

If she doesn't? His wrath is only just beginning.

I can explicitly only remember two collective chapters out of the entire book that actually kept my attention. Unfortunately, due to the huge cliffhanger and my interest into Mendax’s character i will be reading the second book, hopefully that one is better!

Well that was a twist, but very unsatisfying. The book feels like a mess of other books I have read, but didnt have it's own identity. None of the characters were bulit out, the world building is incomplete and the writing is clunky at times and other times describing nothing at all leaving the reader to ask (wth is the author trying to tell me). I don't know about book 2, maybe I might try the audio book? If I do continue on you know I am only here for Mendax...because he will burn the world for her and I am gonna roast some marshmallows over the fire 😆

Where the hell to begin lmao. This book had me in a chokehold from page 1 to the very freaking end. How does it feel? I’ll tell you how it feels, it feels like I’m gripping on tightly, biting my lip and holding my breath. It feels like smoke caressing my skin through the pages. Chills. This book is now one of my favorites the way I very quickly bought book 2 and preordered book 3. Jeneane O’Riley what have you done to me? What did you do?

For my first book diving back in reading. It is very spicy and seems dreamy/romances. I was not expecting the end to take such a twist it confused me a lot but kept me hooked.

I am definitely not a fan of fantasy but this was good. Definitely good twists and turns. And a little confused with the ending.
