Head Stuck In A Book: Book Review: Avalon (Avalon #1) - Liv Knight





Kohl Merrifeild is a fallen Fae of the Seelie Court, breathtakingly beautiful and banished to the human world to entertain women for the rest of his days at the infamous Avalon Club. They clipped his wings and took his magic – ensured there's no chance of him rebelling or wielding any power. Only they forgot that beauty is power - and that's the one thing they left him with.

After her first night at Avalon, a night club famous for the entertainment provided by the beautiful Fallen Fae, Bree gets swept up in the smoldering gaze of one of the club's most coveted Fae: Kohl Merrifield. Just a pretty distraction. Easy... Brainless.

Until she starts to notice there might be more to Kohl than his devilish grin, the lean muscles, and those intense green eyes.

Until she starts to suspect he might be dangerous.

Bree believes Kohl is part of an underground group fighting to overthrow the system that keeps Fae like him confined within the walls of the club – a regime that Bree's ancestors worked hard to put in place. And now she's determined to prove that her suspicions are right and bring Kohl and the other rebels to justice.

Only she didn't count on the fact that getting closer to Kohl could upend everything she thought she knew. And that there might be things going on at the Avalon club that are just as sinister as the ways of the dark Unseelie Fae.

As alliances blur, conspiracies erupt, and violence escalates, Bree is forced to make the toughest decision of her life: is she willing to betray everything she was raised to protect, for a rebel Fae she's not even sure she can trust?

Come, step through the shimmering doors of Avalon...

*AVALON is an enemies to lovers urban fantasy New Adult romance. It is book one in a series but can definitely be read as a standalone since each book is a separate story with its own hero and heroine – and HEA.

***AVALON is a much steamier re-imagining of the award-winning Young Adult novel, TOP CHOICE, written under the author's other pen-name: Sophie McAloon. Please note that while some of the characters in AVALON are seniors in high school, there are several explicit sex scenes and is therefore not intended for readers under 18.

Review. 
Avalon is a unique take on your typical Fae story.
It's a fast-paced tale of a world where fallen male Fae are removed from their families and brought to the mortal world when they're around two years old when they're sixteen, they start working at the Avalon clubs, it's there that Bree first meets Kohl, the most popular Fae at Avalon.
Bree is the great grand-daughter of the woman responsible for setting up the treaty, and her Mother is in charge of anything and everything related to the Fae.
When Bree starts falling for Kohl, you can imagine how well that goes down with her Mother, especially with an underground group fighting for more rights for the Fae.
But can Bree trust Kohl, is he somehow involved with the Underground group, and can she resist the feelings she's developing for him?
I really enjoyed this book; it kept me entertained and enthralled the whole way through. My only problem was the end, I thought there was another chapter at least, and when I  turned the page, nope nothing; I know that there is at least going to be another book, with a different couple, but I was left with so many questions, and I really hope that they are addressed in the next book.
Overall I highly recommend this book.
