☼SYNOPSIS


Gold.


Gold floors, gold walls, gold furniture, gold clothes. In Highbell, in the castle built into the frozen mountains, everything is made of gold.


Even me.


King Midas rescued me. Dug me out of the slums and placed me on a pedestal. I’m called his precious. His favored. I’m the woman he Gold-Touched to show everyone that I belong to him. To show how powerful he is. He gave me protection, and I gave him my heart. And even though I don’t leave the confines of the palace, I’m safe.


Until war comes to the kingdom and a deal is struck.


Suddenly, my trust is broken. My love is challenged. And I realize that everything I thought I knew about Midas might be wrong.


Because these bars I’m kept in, no matter how gilded, are still just a cage. But the monsters on the other side might make me wish I’d never left.


Author’s Note: This is a fantasy romance m/f story. There will be monarchs and magic and fae and steam and violence and all the feels. This book contains explicit content and mature language not intended for anyone under 18 years of age. This is book one of three in the series, so that means it won’t be tied up in a bow at the end. In fact, the bow is probably going to be tossed right off a cliff. But it’ll be worth the fall.



REVIEW


★★★


Rating: 3 out of 5.


this was... this was interesting.


I liked the concept, I thought the idea of her being made of gold was super interesting and unlike anything I have ever seen before, however, this book had one too many flaws.


don't get me wrong, I liked it but I had to get 200 pages into it in order for interesting stuff to actually happen. 

the beginning was soooo bizarre and there were so many scenes that made no sense to me, but not just only at the beginning since there were uncenessary scenes all throughout the book.


WAAAAY too much sexual violence for absolutely no reason, there were a few moments that made me feel a bit uncomfortable because I thought they could have been easily cut out.


However, apart for a few bits and bobs I did enjoy this, it was interesting and im excited to see where the story goes, unfortunately the second book its not on my high priority TBR but I know I will get to it eventually!



 ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Raven Kennedy is a tea and dark chocolate kind of girl and can often be found binge-watching The Office or The Great British Baking Show. 


She enjoys writing all kinds of books, because each one brings a different experience. Whatever the genre, she hopes she creates characters you can root for. 


When she’s not reading or writing, she’s with her family, probably messing up a recipe or going on a hike that she thinks she can do, but in reality she can't because she remembers that all she does is sit at a computer all day and write her heart out.
