Kylest’s Reign by Michelle Dare

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As fae prince, Kylest treated protecting his people as a sacred honor and duty. His sister’s unexplained disappearance dealt a blow to his heart and pride. He would leave no stone unturned in his search for her.

Raven, a common fae, never dreamed Prince Kylest would ask her to help find the princess. Turning him down never crossed her mind. For Raven, a chance to serve the royal family was a special privilege.

They searched high and low, spending every moment together. Kylest tried to stay focused, but somewhere along the way, Raven became more than just a friend. He wanted more. He wanted her to be his.

Fate worked in mysterious ways, even if it had terrible timing.

The princess was still missing. Chaos erupted. Enemies resurfaced. The only way Kylest and Raven would emerge unscathed was to admit love made them stronger together.

The Hero: Kylest – he is a fae prince. Five years ago, he returned to the fae realm, where his fiancée Odessa came into his home and demanded to know where he was and accused him of cheating on her. He immediately told her their relationship was over. Lately more and more he has been going to the pack Avynwood house because he likes the people there much more than in the fae realm. He is friends with Ari and Orien. He is one of seven siblings and is fifth in line to the throne. He is in charge of North America.

The Story: When his sister Robin disappears along with a bear shifter, Kylest and his siblings are charged with searching for her in the mortal world. It is of utmost importance since another of his sisters was murdered a while ago by a mortal man, she thought was her fated mate. His parents have looked in Europe and where she was last seen but there is no trace of Robin.

The heroine: Raven – she is a common fae female. The fae prince is coming to visit her family in search of his sister. They live in a mortal town in Texas, which is under the rule of Kylest. Raven is not thrilled about the meeting with the prince, but when he arrives, she is awed at how handsome he is. Raven is the sister of Odessa, though without the attitude. She likes Kylest even more when she hears that he kicked her sister to the curb. Her dad was killed by another fae who was flirting with her sister.

Raven offers to help Kylest in his search for his sister and Kylest is interested in Raven, so he accepts her offer and they go off and travel to other fae homes in North America. I love the fae magic in this one, they do glamour to color their hair and eyes, hide their pointy ears and get dressed, they can open portals to wherever they go, from the fae realm to the mortal realm and from state to state in the mortal world. They can also conjure up money out of thin air. I would love any of those powers, but all of them would be so fun.

The story was good. I liked the journey and adventure of the search for clues into Robin’s disappearance. Though the romance got a bit sappy at times and the prose was a bit too flowery. A lot of kissy kissy and I love you with every bit of my being and so on. Like the previous books, this one had great characters, the vampires Ford and Solomon appeared in this one as well as their parents and the two main characters went to the Avynwood pack mansion as well.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration. It was narrated by Sarah Colton and Troy Duran. I really like both of these narrators; Sarah has a great voice and sounds age appropriate for Raven. Troy Duran is one of my favorite male narrators, his voice is deep and sexy, and I love just about anything he narrates.
