Premise:

The four princes of Lumathyst need a mate, and everyone wants a chance...except for her.

Threatened by invaders, the kingdom of Lumathyst is on the verge of chaos, and no one can stop it. Unless the four immortal god-princes find their fated mate―and safeguard the throne―Lumathyst will fall.

Five women have tried. Five have failed. And tonight in the royal city, the princes need to find their Chosen and hope she can survive the transformation that will make her immortal.

Only Rylee Gray wasn’t supposed to be here. She snuck in for her own dark reasons―and now they claim they've found their perfect match. Her. Of course, they have no idea she’s concealing a secret big enough to damn them all.

The four princes have no choice. They’ll use every delectably wicked skill they have to make Rylee fall for all of them…or watch their kingdom collapse.

Review:

Meet the Legends of Chaos, sons of ruthless kings and goddesses—powerful men searching for a mate to tether themselves to. Enter Rylee, a sassy young woman and bottom feeder who entered the Choosing primarily to discover what happened to her sister. What she doesn't expect is that the men of legendary chaos have chosen her. Now, she must play the game while keeping her secret safe as she learns what it means to become the mate of the Legends of Chaos, but danger lurks in the shadows as Rhylee finds herself drawn to the men who could destroy her.

I think I actually found my book of the year. Seriously, I think I have. Or this book is a major contender for that honor.

This book pulled me in from the moment we meet Rylee to the twisting end. I loved the men. They were attentive, protective, and possessive of Rylee, and I was jealous. The world-building, the secondary characters who didn't feel so secondary, and the caste were rather interesting. I can understand why Rhylee was reluctant to speak so freely of her past. It could have cost her a lot, especially when it comes to the Never List.

I also loved that Rylee had no filter on her mouth. She was sassy, told it like it was, but also showed she loved those guys a lot. She wanted to protect them and their people just as much as they did. She wanted to be on a level with them, but at the same time she knew she had to be careful since they had no idea she was a demi.

( Spoiler )

This book sets the foundation for the rest of the series and I am here for what will come in the next in the series.
