I’ve always loved supporting local authors, so it was especially fun to meet Perci at a library masquerade ball with my book club girlies. ✨

Serafina has been convincing the heir of Lycaster to fall in love with her for seven years. When bride selection night finally comes, she is delighted to be the coveted first choice. Yet, everything she’s worked for is instantly swept away when her beloved heir is revealed to not be her groom. To her horror, she’s doomed to be the bride of the notorious half-giant. 

If you’re looking for Beauty and the Beast vibes, arranged marriages, court politics, and a cliff-hanger ending, this book is for you. It kept me interested enough to finish in two days, but it did feel a touch too young adult for my preference. That being said, I could tell that Perci put her heart and soul into this fantastical novel.
