Starlight Jewel: Gifts of the Auldtree, Book One by E.L. Lyons 

Burt 

Blurb:

The human city of Minalav is renowned for its lavish balls, where nobles bring wealth from distant lands to the Starlight Palace, to be romanced—and robbed—by the half-human hybrids who live below the city. The wealthy guests leave without their treasure, and with no memory of their evening—except the unforgettable feelings that bring them back, season after season. But the magic of Minalav is built on dark secrets and lies.

Axly, a hybrid assassin and seductress-thief, will do anything to protect her human half-brother. The path of blood and chaos she carves will tip the precious balance of Minalav, and the world around it.

Review:

I am kicking myself for sleeping on this book! This book was out of this world. I love a great thought provoking book. This book checked off all my favorite marks and so much more!

The world building was incredible. There was something on every page that kept you sucked right into this story. I loved the idea of hybrids! You wanted to hear more about them and how they interacted with others. I sat questioning could this be our future? I wouldnt be surprised with the way the world is moving. 

I am not a huge romance reader, but i didnt find it to be to much. It was just a enough to help explain the story and the characters. There was no smut for those who might be wondering 🙂

I personally enjoyed Jord an kept wondering what would happen next, what the thought process would be. 

While there are some spots that seemed to read slow it paid off in the end to fully grasp the story. 

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoyes reading something with different way of thinking. I loved it, and i can not wait to see what book two has in store for us.
