Fortuna Sworn: 1

Product Information

The “Fortuna Sworn” book is apprehension mongering, seductive and tasty. For some readers, it may even appear bloodcurdling and horrid. Collith desires Fortuna. And if she will bind herself to him, he offers something irresistible. So Fortuna leaves her safe existence behind and descends into a world of glamorous creatures and deadly power. TRIGGER WARNING:This novel contains scenes or themes of toxic relationships, forced marriage, slavery, sex, violence, and gore.

There are so many dynamic characters in this story, and though I’m never sure who is good and who is evil, I’m intrigued by them all. I love that everyone’s motivations are unclear and that there are many layers to their stories. No one is thoroughly good or thoroughly evil, and that moral grayness adds so much to the suspense. It also makes for a fast-paced read with tons of action and intense moments and leads to some major jaw-dropping moments!

Unfortunately for Fortuna, it’s when you’re most vulnerable that enemies—new and old—like to come out of the woodwork… Fortuna is very impulsive in the first two books, and I like how Fortuna is not as ruled by impulsivity in this one. She’s become more patient and is as compassionate as always. Fortuna is a woman who will do anything for those she loves, and family is everything. She recognizes her rash actions and decisions and even tries to rectify some of them and repair the relationships she splintered. That’s not to say, she’s not impulsive. Fortuna still acts without thinking, and sometimes she needs to stop and think about the ramifications of her actions. However, she’s clearly changing. She’s showing so much emotional growth, and she doesn’t even realize it. K.J. Sutton lives in Colorado with her two rescue dogs.

Before I met you, I thought Nightmares were creatures of pain and darkness. Why, then, are you constantly seeking freedom and light?"

What Makes the Book Stand Out?

The bleak pattern goes on and on... until she catches the eye of a powerful faerie. He makes no attempt to hide that he desires Fortuna. Nightmares are magical creatures that lure and seduce by changing their looks to the most appealing one, different for each victim.

Fortuna is one of the bewitching character types you fall in love with immediately due to her impulsiveness, wittiness, and sarcastic nature. She tries to find her sibling, but in vain. Living a quiet life and pretending to be normal, she works at a restaurant in a small town. Collith takes her into the magical kingdom full of lies and secrecy. Her journey is a struggle to overcome the obstacles the Unseelie Court has prepared for her and gain their respect. And Collith! He’s so mysterious and aloof and in control. I don’t understand some of his actions and inactions but feel like Collith knows what he is doing. He is a mask of neutrality, and I just want to see underneath it! At some point, he and Fortuna are going to let their guard down, and I can’t wait!
