Review: Golden Stair (Blood Prince Series #3) by Jennifer Blackstream

Jennifer Blackstream returns to her Blood Prince series with another enchanting twisted fairy tale, as a devil-may-care incubus finds himself at the mercy of an imprisoned sun maiden with the world's most overprotective witch for a mother...

A devil-may-care incubus with a ravenous appetite... Adonis is a demon prince determined to bury his desire for love in the pleasures of the flesh. Bound by a vow to maintain his physical form, Adonis requires a great deal of energy just to live, energy he can only absorb through the carnal arts...more energy than any one woman could ever provide. Adonis knows he could never offer a woman the fidelity she would deserve as his wife, and so carries on with his wild ways, his cryptic smile hidden behind a puff of smoke. No woman can reach beyond the heat of his embrace to touch his heart. Not even the golden-haired maid whose lonely eyes keep wooing him back to her side.

A damsel in distress with the power to destroy him...Ivy has lived in a tower, locked away from the rest of the world, for her entire life. Her mother, a witch who leads the resistance against the bloodthirsty kings of the five kingdoms, is her only company. Ivy knows that her battle-weary mother relies on the golden power flowing through her veins for the energy to continue the good fight, but she can't completely smother the selfish yearning to see the world beyond the safety of their hidden valley... especially when her wildest fantasy almost literally falls into her lap. Despite their best intentions, they're drawn together like phoenixes to flame-and if they're not careful, they'll both burn. Will the demon finally find true love? Or will the witch succeed in keeping his would-be princess out of reach-permanently?

What Did I Think About Golden Stair?

 Another Addictive Romance To This Magical Fairytale Series.

I am a fan of Ms Blackstream’s writing style. Loving the way she mixes well known (and beloved) fairytales and gives them a new perspective in this series.

I downloaded the narration of this book too. Once again, Matt Addis’ performance was amazing. The pace of reading transported me to the scenes and his tonal characters’ variations brought them to life. He is a talented voice actor and I would happily buy books narrated by him in the future.

I love our romantic couple; Ivy is kind, loving, loyal and has oodles of gumption. I already had a soft spot for Adonis as he appears in the previous Blood Prince books too but I enjoyed getting to know him more intimately in this novel.

I love the prologues and epilogues that Ms Blackstream gives us in these books that progresses the background story of Eurydice’s quest within The World Tree and I can’t wait to read the next story.

Keep reading to find out more about this series and its author.

About Jennifer Blackstream

Jennifer Blackstream is a USA Today bestselling author of urban fantasy and paranormal romance. She is amazed and grateful to have made a writing career out of a Master’s degree in Psychology, hours of couch-detecting watching Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, and endless research into mythology and fairy tales. She firmly believes that whether it’s a village witch deciding she wants to be a private investigator, or a single mother having a go at being a full-time writer, it’s never too late for a new adventure.

A fervent devotee of cooperative board games, Jennifer sets aside at least two nights a week for team-based adventures such as Mice & Mystics, Sentinels of the Multiverse, or Harry Potter: Battle at Hogwarts. She uses games with dice-based mechanics to lure in her ridiculously lucky-rolling son and daughter in the hope that they too will develop a passion for cooperative escapism.
