Hunted by Meagon Spooner

Yeva lives with her sisters and her father in a town house. But after they lose all of their wealth they have to move to their fathers hunting cabinet deep into the forest. Yeva is the youngest of her sisters and her father learned her how to hunt when she was little. But he gave up that life for his wife, Yeva's mother. When she was younger her father used to tell her stories about all the magic creatures who live in the forest. But now that Yeva  is so much outside again, she is doubting if the stories weren’t true… This book was written like a real fairy-tale. The beginning was slow but that was nice, that's what made it more a fairy-tale. And it was also nice because you didn’t had to rush into a story, you could just sit down and read a romantic book, with a magical and Russian twist.  While we were reading the story from Yevra’s aspect we also read parts of “Beasts’ Diary” and that aspect made the book even better! I really love this Beauty and the Beast rete

Khosa, like all the woman in the family became for her, is destined to give birth to one child and then dance into the sea. To save Stille. But she doesn’t want to die, nor she wants to be touched. Vincent is the third in line to the throne, his grandfather still rules although he is very old. His father can’t wait to be the next king, unlike Vincent, who doesn’t want to be king at all. Darah is not a normal girl, she is one of the last Indiri, people with magic and who are feared by others. She wants to find another male to breed with so she won’t die as the last of her kind. Witt is the head of the people of Pietra, the Lithos and he is the chosen one to lead the sick and old to the paths of death. This book had so much potential, but I did not like it at all. In this world it is okay to rape a woman, and you earn right the right to breed when you have a pure bloodline. Like horses. The author didn’t that much worldbuilding, I have no clue where what place lies,
