While I haven’t been doing this for long, I am excited to share that I have been chosen to review my first ARC! An ARC, or Advanced Reader Copy, is a copy of a book that is given to a select few to review before it is released to the wider public. So as you can imagine, it has me absolutely pumped to get started. I’m going to split the last 10 chapters of Red Queen into 2 more posts and then get cracking. Now, without further ado, let me introduce you to…

Shaedes of Power!

This is a book cover that is dark with splashes of purple and silver. The title is Shaedes of Power and the author is Jenny Grimes

The beginning of a spicy, fae, enemies-to-lovers romantic fantasy about one magic-wielding woman’s path to self-discovery in a series perfect for fans of LJ Andrews, Laura Thalassa, and Holly Black.

How many pieces of your soul can you give away… before you break

In a faerie hierarchy built upon one’s ability to produce specific, color-driven magic, Opal is an outcast, and on the cusp of giving up on her future at court.

While visiting the human realm, she witnesses a dark magic shadow beast attack a human—a beast which should have been forever imprisoned in the Shadowlands. Upon her return home to the faerie realm, she finds the Shaede Palace in chaos, the vampiric Dark Princes ready to start a war over old wounds and court prejudices, and a revolving door of impossible choices.

Join Opal on her path to self-discovery and a quest to save her realm, all while she navigates a passionate romance with the charming human she manages to save from the shadow beast, and the seductive Dark Prince who captures her and wants to show her a whole new world in the shadows.

It will take everything Opal has to find her way through the darkness, but with the help of her friends and the histories of her people, she might just discover spells that can change the world.

Shaedes of Power is the first in a new Romantasy series written for dark romance lovers who enjoy spice, complicated characters, epic world-building, and a unique magic system.


As soon as Laura Thalassa was mentioned, I was in! I’m really excited to read this and see what kind of a journey that Jenny Grimes takes us on. Now, I wouldn’t be able to do this without the help of The Nerd Fam who provided this ARC for me and I am very thankful that they’ve given me the chance to do something really special. Thankfully, you won’t have to wait long to get this book either because it’s being released in March 31st, so I’d better knuckle down and get started soon!
