My wings unbound, I am the Thai bird princess

The kinnaree

And no matter the cost,

I will be free.


Bennet Andrews represents a secret organization of supernatural beings dedicated to locating and acquiring mythical objects, tucking them safely away where they cannot harm the human race. When he meets Peeraphan Rahttana, it's too late—she has already stepped into The Red Shoes, trapped by their curse to dance to her death.


But Bennet isn't the only supernatural looking for deadly artifacts. And when the shoes don't seem to harm Peeraphan, he realizes that he'll have to save her from the likes of creatures she never knew existed. Bennett sweeps Peeraphan into a world of myth and power far beyond anything she ever imagined. There, she finds that magic exists in places she never dreamed—including deep within herself.


My Thoughts:


First off, I have to say that this book cover is just gorgeous! This is the first book that I have read by Piper J. Drake and I really can’t wait to see where this series will go! 


I have not read any Thai folklore before and I really enjoyed this one! I feel like this is a great foundation to the world that Piper is building but would have loved to get a little more description and history within it. I would have loved to get to know the side characters a little more and how they all have come together. I really enjoyed the secret organization with the magical artifacts and the paranormal creatures. 


I did enjoy the main characters and would have loved to learn more about their background. Punch is such a strong, honest FMC. I am all about the romance and hope that the next book has a little more spice to it. 


Overall, this is a really great start to a series! There were some slow parts to this book  but then I felt like the end seemed to be rushed a bit. Looking forward to the next book!
