When you hear about a book everywhere you look, it can go one way or another. You're either going to love it or loathe it.

Quicksilver, part one of the Fae & Alchemy series by Callie Hart is one such book and my curiosity was spiked. Fae, magic, a world that's beyond broken… It was an instant order and I loved every moment of it. 

The world-building was exquisitely done, bringing the drudgery of the many to the forefront of the readers’ perspective and the sheer desire to survive it all there as we encounter our human leading lady, Saeris Fane. I love a fantasy book that brings the reader into the story from page one and this does that.

This is a dark fantasy romance that gives us everything and I love every character we encounter - even the enemies who deserve a pain worse than we can envision. Hart has clearly given their heart and soul to this book, and if this is only book one? I fear a new addiction may begin within me and not just because of the chemistry between Saeris and our leading fae male, Kingfisher which is of course; scorching. 

Whilst yes, I do love their story and it's beautiful to witness their guard fall apart as they give into their attraction. It's everything else that has me craving book two and needing to know what comes next. It's the way each character serves a purpose, and their story grows from a murmur to a roar, and it's the beautiful storytelling that had me reading till the sun rose again.

This may be everywhere; it may be a book that everyone is talking about - but it deserves all the hype because it's addictive and beautifully written.
