Book Review: The Gremlin Prince by Heather Young-Nichols

The Empowered Series Book 1

Alyssum Bracken will do anything to find the Gremlin Prince…

After a longtime feud over copper between the Gremalian and the Gobel races, her people’s only hope for survival lies with Jensen Burkhardt and the hope he inherited his father’s abilities. When she tracks him down, Alyssum discovers she isn’t the first to get there. Aric, a rival goblin, is already ensconced in Jensen’s life.

Risking exile to save both races from a bloody war, the unlikely trio come together to fight for everything they love. A forbidden friendship with Aric, a first love with Jensen, while juggling the leader of her people, who’s also her father, prejudice against the Gobel—and Aric’s people trying to kill them all—could be too much for Alyssum to handle.

Jensen’s strength is the one thing keeping Alyssum grounded, but will their relationship be jeopardized by her friendship with Aric? Will any of them survive? Alyssum isn't sure… but she’s going to fight like hell.

My Review:

Holy wow! This story takes two supernatural races that are often overlooked in favor of the flashier, more glamorous ones, and turns everything we thought we knew on it’s head. I love Alyssum. She’s feisty and independent, and even her naivete doesn’t detract from how much I love her. In fact, I found her even more endearing for it. I adored Jensen and Aric. I would love to see a stable triad formed out of this group because I just can’t choose between the Gremalian and the Gobel. I cannot wait to see what happens next. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.
