The thrilling third entry in the high fantasy saga that started with BookTok sensation A Broken Blade. “It seems fate has dealt me the same hand again. I know how to play it.” A new king is on the throne and the rebellion lies in ruins. Keera spends her days drinking and her nights avoiding the strange dreams that have haunted her since she returned from the capital. Keera’s family in Myrelinth won’t let her go without a fight. With new intelligence about the magical seals left behind by Keera’s ancient kin, the Light Fae, she rallies to face her demons and unleash the formidable powers she inherited from her people. But a shocking truth is hiding in plain sight, one with the power to unravel the entire rebellion... The pivotal third installment in the Halfling Saga will upend everything Keera thought she knew about her enemies . . . and her allies. The third entry in the Halfling Saga, the epic tale of a deadly assassin with a mysterious past, set in a lush fantasy world of Mortals, Elves, Halflings, and Fae, A Vicious Game is perfect for readers who enjoyed the A Court of Thorns and Roses series and other romantic fantasy books, especially those seeking LGBTQ+ romance or BIPOC representation.

"What? I am.. there are so many feelings coursing through me, first of all I didn’t know there was a 4th book so there’s that.
Now that I’ve come to terms w it, KEERA’s rage is ALL OUT on this one. She is standing on business for everyone, including Riven and Killian, IYKYK. Man she feels so much heartbreak in this one. As if the shattered blade who’s made herself the sacrificial lamb for her people, for decades time and time again had anything left to sacrifice. But like many times before, we get to see Keera crawl herself back to redemption. Damien is a such a genius mastermind in his torture games! Just when you think he’s been outwitted, he plays to make his opponents lose. The twists and turns in this one are JUICY! I also really enjoyed how we get to dive into Gerarda’s character, and we get to know just how much she was pulling behind the scenes as well.
The writing is so absolutely phenomenal and deep and painful. I also read this while I had Scott’s “Overcome” in a loop on the background…. SETS THE MOOD FOR ALL THE PAIN YOU ARE GOING TO FEEL! You’re welcome.
CANT WAIT FOR BOOK FOUR! Also… IYKYK… what’s up w the necklace Keera?!?! WTF???!?
Happy reading!"
