Synopsis

4. The number of times my delicate wings have been broken and clamped behind my back.
68. The number inked upon my skin, marking me the sixty-eighth pixie to be stolen.
87. The number of days I’ve been wrongfully imprisoned.
88. The first day the faeries will regret stealing me.

Healthy. Cheery. Vivacious. All traits Rosalie has before becoming enslaved by the faeries to make an endless supply of pixie dust. Now that Rosalie has been traumatized by slave labor, extreme desolate conditions and multiple deaths, this hardened pixie is anything but. When this rebellious teenager attempts an escape, she’s isolated in cramped quarters until she learns her place. Just as she begins to let go of all that hope, she finds an unlikely friend in Jack, the faerie assigned to guard her. Interspecies dating is forbidden in the fae world, so their growing attraction is unacceptable. And even if Jack can find a way to free her, they know the prison is the only place they can truly be together.

Our 4.5 Star Review

Rosalie was happy with her life in her Hallow. Taking care of nature and enjoying life as a regular Pixie, until the day she viciously kidnapped and thrown in a hole for four days. When she's released from the pit she's thrust into a new life as a slave to faeries forced into making pixie dust for her captors. But she's strong and she's not gonna take captivity lightly, so when she tries to escape and is caught she thrust into the pit once again. This time though they won't let her out until she's well and truly broken, she wasn't expecting Jack. Jack got into trouble for a little prank and his punishment is reforming a stubborn Pixie, but when he finds out the truth of her enslavement he determines to help her. But what will happen along the way?

It took a little while to get into this Pixie world, but once there I was completely sucked in. Rosalie's Independence and strength shine throughout the story and you  root for her the whole time. Jack, once he found out what was really going on, is a real rock for Rose and I loved seeing his determination to help her out. Great read no matter what age you are.
