The Never List (Deluxe Limited Edition)

Presley delivers an intense, fun, sexy, and mystical story with The Never List. I loved the world-building and getting to know all of the characters and how their powers influence their personalities (or vise versa). Kal is kind and calm, Axl is playful and adventurous, Pierce is intelligent and analytical, and Jax is dark and moody. And Rylee’s outgoing and protective personality, her ability to read people and situations, and overall survival instincts enable her to endure the challenges ahead.

What I loved most, though, was that the author incorporated a “why choose” storyline that was integral to the plot. The FMC has four love interests not just for the trope’s sake. The magic system and world require that the four princes share one mate. And consent and choice are at the forefront of the situation. The story is steamy but also has layers and parts that all fit together once the reader connects them – such as political powers, oppression, class inequality, and more.

Interview with Jade Presley coming soon!

This book destroyed me in all of the best and worst ways. I’m sad that I’m limited to 5 stars for a top rating too as this one deserves more than that. I was enthralled from the very beginning and was unable to care about anything other than this story. Learn from my mistakes & don’t start this until you’re truly prepared for an intense reading session; have snacks & water on hand so you don’t have to stop. I read the entire thing in less than 6 hours. Rylee just wants to find her sister, while hiding her powerful secret that could cost her everything if discovered. The only way she can think to get answers about her sister’s disappearance lies in the royal library…and the only way into that is to sneak into the Choosing ceremony. She has zero interest in attracting the attention of the horrible Legends of Chaos, the four royal princes, let alone being shared amongst them for their sexual pleasure. But we all know that when you have zero interest in something, it’s the most likely outcome right? Enter the Legends of Chaos, each with utterly devastating powers and a carefully crafted image. But appearances can be deceiving and Rylee has to choose whether to follow her heart or listen to what has been ingrained in her psyche since birth. This is a very spicy why-choose with a heart stopping cliff hanger, so be warned. It’s also probably the best book I’ve read in the last year. Red Tower Books just keeps releasing books that own my soul…and this one will live rent free in my head for a very very long time. Thank you so much to Red Tower books, Entangled Publishing, NetGalley and the Entangled Insiders group for early digital access to this title. I’ve had the physical copy on preorder since last June and I cannot wait to add the physical trophy to my shelves.
