Summary on Goodreads:
Feyre is a huntress.
She thinks nothing of slaughtering a wolf to capture its prey. But, like all mortals, she fears what lingers mercilessly beyond the forest. And she will learn that taking the life of a magical creature comes at a high price...
Imprisoned in an enchanted court in her enemy's kingdom, Feyre is free to roam but forbidden to escape. Her captor's body bears the scars of fighting, and his face is always masked - but his piercing stare draws her ever closer. As Feyre's feeling for Tamlin begin to burn through every warning she's been told about his kind, an ancient, wicked shadow grows.
Feyre must find a way to break a spell, or lose her heart forever.

Review:
I am extremely astounded right now. My hands are shaking while I’m trying to write this review. Goosebumps all over my body. It feels like I forgot how to breathe during the last few pages of this novel. So this is the legendary Sarah J. Maas everyone has been talking about. If the Throne of Glass series is half as good as this one, I would still consider it to be a masterpiece. I am so furious at myself for not reading this work of art months ago. The scenery, the characters, the relationships between them... There is not one single minuscule thing within this novel I didn’t devour. As a matter of fact, I believe it has earned its way to be called my favorite YA novel.
Beauty and the Beast has always been a weak spot of mine when it comes to fairytales. But this... this is an entirely different way of putting the tale and oh dear I don't know how to transform my feelings into words. I speak three languages and collecting the words of all these languages wouldn't be enough to convey the exact feelings I’m experiencing because of this book. I was literary there with Feyre. I lost myself in this impeccable world created by a fascinating writer. This is why I treasure reading. This is why I cannot survive without books.
