My Thoughts and Review:
I think the best place to start this review is to say that I have never actually read the original Fairy Tales. I know the Disney versions well. If you have read any of the other books in the Sinister Fairy Tales Collection you will already know that these are absolutely nothing like the Disney versions of these tales. So once I finish this collection, I think it's time to read the original Fairy Tales.
This is story is a little harder to guess from it's title. This is a retelling of Tarzan, with a paranormal twist. Karzan has lived on a dark island for his entire life. Having a weird dream about a woman he has never met. Janey has lived her life in the outside world. She has heard all about an island with a curse on it and a prophecy to release their curse. She to has had a weird dream about, of all things, a wolf. Janey's father gives her everything he has for her 18th birthday in the form of a ship so she can go look for this island.
Karzan is a strong alpha male character. With strong morals and the will to take care of his people. Janey, while a little bit annoying when it comes to the sexy scenes, is a woman with ambition and willingness to put aside her fear for the good of Karzan's people. This book was a quick and enjoyable read.
Far, far away, hidden on Insula Sacra—Island of the Accursed— lives a forgotten world of man and beast.
Damned by the Gods, and forced to live in everlasting darkness, they continue to fight a war that has long since been buried in time.
With each rise and fall of the cursed moon, they are reminded of all they’ve lost.
Desperate for freedom, they await the night the one true king will rise to power and free them from the curse.
The King, however, cannot rise without his Queen—both blessed with the mark of the Gods, they must end the war to save them all.
Or so the legend says…
"They abandoned us, cursed us. An endless war, a dying race...the prophecy states that once united, the chosen one, bearing the mark of the gods, will bring forth the one true king.” Balling my hand into a fist, I turn and face the great room. “I will be that King. No matter what it takes, no matter how many people must burn to make it so, we will rise again and this time, not even the Gods will be able to stop us.”
