A Game of Love and Betrayal

The Choosing Chronicles, Book 1

De: Elayna R. Gallea

Narrado por: Kale Williams, Meg Sylvan

He requires a wife. She needs to kill him. All's fair in pursuit of love and revenge.

What's a vampire to do when the fae who made her an orphan is searching for a wife? Make him choose her and end his life on their wedding night, of course.

Brynleigh has been carefully planning this for years. Her plan is simple: date Ryker Waterborn, the Fae Representative's son, make him fall in love with her, and kill him after they say, "I do."

Unfortunately, it will not be that easy. She won't be the only one going after Ryker's hand. Far from it. Two dozen men and women are competing in the choosing, each searching for their perfect partner. The catch? It's a blind selection process, and contestants won't see each other until they have made their choice.

Nothing will stand between Brynleigh and her revenge, not even a competition for love.

A Game of Love and Betrayal is the first book in The Choosing Chronicles, a captivating enemies-to-lovers, new adult contemporary high fantasy romance.

Fun

This was a fun story with twists and turns. I am excited to read the next book.

10/10

At first I wasn’t feeling it because I’m not a big fan of books written in third person however !! I’m glad I kept reading because I’m locked in 🤭 I can’t wait to experience my vamp sis female rage in book two because if that cliffhanger was anything to go by ! There’s definitely some plot twist that I don’t think I’m ready for !!!!!

Beautiful

Wish it was a duet but man I love this book. I love the modern story with fantasy.

Amazing Characters

This story was wonderful! The FMC is awesome and I love the character development. Ry is super sweet and it’s overall just amazing. Can’t wait to read the second book!

10/10

Wasn’t sure what to expect. Went in with nothing more than the brief overall description. Loved how fast paced it was. Not filled with unnecessary fluff. Became invested in the main character. I thought i could wait for my next credit before listening to the second book, but i was wrong. 100% going to purchase it right now.

I expected more?

the first chapter introducing her was promising ans i was excited for the book but honestly it was very mid. it reads like a boomer trying to write for gen z.

Not bad

##booktok recommendation. It was pretty easy to figure the plot out. I really didn't like the third person narration..usually when it is dually narration it just flows better for the narrators to be the characters. It does end on a cliff hanger and that is where I think it got really interesting...so on to book 2..

slow burn, wonderful world building, strong FM, cliffhanger

Ok, I was presently surprised by this book. There is a very interesting story line. The narration was good, though some of the extra character voices could have been better. The chemistry obetween
Ryker and Brynliegh wassmoking hot. The male voice was dreamy, deep, rumbly and the female voice was surprising plasing and raspy. This book ends on a huge cliffhanger, so beware if your reading it before book two comes out. I cannot wait to read book two and find out what happened

Amazing storyline, but...

I love love loved the book and the male voice, but the woman seemed to be trying too hard. There's no need to strain your voice in order to speak for a different gender, in my opinion...

Wish it pushed its own boundaries a bit more, story was well paced but predictable

What if Love is Blind was set in a world with magical beings. Well paced enough to get me sucked into book 2. Main and side characters flirt with complex inner depth and conflict and world building/magic system pretty flat for a universe that has the opportunity to become more fleshed out over the course of multiple books. Overall an enjoyable enough read, if you are looking for something with just a little bit of bite (where vampire romance is concerned)
