Hopeless Magic by A.K. Koonce


Blurb: 
If life really was a fairy tale, Zakara would never be the damsel in distress. She’d be a thief, and Prince Charming wouldn’t have a clue how to steal the heart of the conniving criminal.

Zakara saves not one, but three men locked inside the tallest tower. Her first instinct is to ditch them as soon as possible, but they have one thing that intrigues her more than wealth:

Magic.

Fae magic once ruled the world, until it disappeared without a trace. Only myths of the magic wielders linger in their destroyed society.

The three prisoners claim to be fae, but she doesn’t trust them.

She doesn’t trust anyone.

Can Prince Ryder convince the pretty thief to lead them to the Hopeless City? Or will she kill him before they even arrive?

This is a reverse harem serial. Recommended for readers over 18.

Review: A. K. Koonce is one of those authors that’s intrigued me for a long time and I’ve not got around to reading her books. Already my expectations were higher than I would’ve liked (Hyped authors are easy to disappoint), but thank goodness I had nothing to worry about. Hopeless magic was exactly what I expected it to be. It’s the first book in a continuous series and available on Audible Plus. The entire series is also available as a bundle for 1 credit or £7.99.

What if Rapunzel was reversed. Flynn Ryder is the prince and Zakara is the thief. Let’s throw in some RH and Fae Folks tales and this is already looking exciting.

Zakara rescued 3 men from a high tower. What she wants to do is ditch them but she’s intrigued by their talks of forgotten magic. Will she take them to the Hopeless City or will secrets deeply buried dig up too much bad memories?

✅ Rapunzel retelling
✅ First in a continuous series
✅ RH
✅ Spicy scenes
✅ Fantasy
✅ Fae
✅ Prince Charming

Audiobook read.

I will be continuing this series.
