When seventeen year old Lily finds her parents brutally murdered, leaving her broken and alone, she is determined to bring justice to the fairies responsible.
Her quest leads her to infiltrate The Empyrean, the land of the Fae where terrifying creatures lurk in every shadow. But with a political rebellion mounting, bloody battles and foreign enemies stand in her way. Alec, a mysterious fairy keeping his own secrets, gradually becomes her guide and dear friend in the unfamiliar world, and restores her faith in love.
Disturbing secrets about her parent’s true identity are revealed, causing her to be more involved with the devastating fairy war than she can afford. Her vengeful mission becomes compromised and her growing romance with Alec wavers.
She must conquer her fear of the unknown, ignore her grief, and overcome her growing list of enemies if she is to succeed in avenging her parents’ death. Or ever make it out alive.
Enchanted Revenge appeals to fans of Julie Kagawa and Jennifer L. Armentrout.
This is a full length novel, and is the first in the four-book Empyrean Chronicles. It is a YOUNG ADULT urban fantasy, and has some mild sensuality and language.

This was a pretty good read that hooked me in, slowed down, and got really good at the end.Lily is a young 16-year-old with one of the worse things to ever happen to a girl- let alone a human being -permanently marked on her heart. She and Alec go on an adventure that was a bit slow for me with 'the few weeks til her Awakening' feeling a lot longer than the weeks she kept track of. Normally I don't mind those things but it really bugged me for some reason, the main one being that it gave me different impressions that ended up being reevaluated just so I could better understand what was going on. I hate when the flow gets interrupted and certain words/phrases force me to stop.
When the small details weren't distracting me, the oft moments of training and internal debates kinda slowed down the momentum. The adventure was great, as was her meeting the characters later to be a part of her life, but I was beginning to lose interest and mostly read it for the romance and big reveal. Then the romance got mildly annoying but I had to remind myself that she was young and this was her first time. The big reveal was really obvious and when Lily didn't get things despite the huge clues in her face, I found myself making excuses for her just so I didn't read this book with a negative attitude.
She's young, and the antics felt maybe a little too naive, but she really pulled through in the end. I loved the creatures and the fae system, the color themes not so much, and the dialogue (mental and conversational) was a bit more than repetitive, but the descriptions were very beautiful and easily painted a portrait in my head.
My favorites are the sprites, the murder and pre-awakening scenes (as morbid as it sounds it was freaking unbelievable) her bloody dream (you'll see) and Alec. What of Alec? All of him lol. Except for the one part where he felt wish-washy in the beginning. Otherwise it's a recommended read because of the world set up and the plot. Aside from the repetition (in more ways than one) and momentary slow-down, this was a good read with a fantastic ending that'll make you want to read the second book. I know I do.

Enchanted Revenge Empyrean Chronicles Book 1 eBook Theresa M Jones Reviews
It’s entirely possible that I’m just becoming too old for this type of book, because although there were good things here I struggled to maintain my interest throughout most of it. Lily is your expected type of heroine – unusually beautiful (although it takes ages for us to actually learn what she looks like other than being short), a bit of a loner, is a tragic orphan, has had no idea that she’s Fae, launches a heroic quest, has a handsome mentor/traveling companion to fall for and who she trusts implicitly for absolutely no reason, and so on and so forth.
The trouble was that I didn’t find Lily all that interesting – in fact I frequently forgot her name, so whenever someone called her that it was a bit of a jolt. I think most of the problem comes from the fact that I feel like I’ve read about her before, just without any defining characteristics that made her standout from other heroines of this type. However, on the whole she’s pretty good at not doing really stupid things to keep the plot flowing, so overall she’s okay. A few less pop culture references probably wouldn’t have gone a miss (especially as there are TARDIS trees and she says nothing, so clearly isn’t a Doctor Who fan, which made me sad), but on the whole she didn’t annoy me too much.
Unlike Alec, who coupled cocky arrogance with brooding grumpiness and mood swings, also has a tragic past and is several hundred years old while lusting after a seventeen year old girl, who by the standards of his people is barely more than a baby. This sort of thing doesn’t always bother me in YA books, depending on the story, but it really did here. Mostly because Lily’s young status is repeated often. She isn’t even old enough to have her magic for most of the book, and the novice status lasts for a good century, which means she really is only a baby. Because of the age thing, I have to admit the idea of Fae coming into their magic bang on their seventeenth birthday also really didn’t fit in with the rest of the “look how old and long lived we are, while you are young and unimportant” stuff. I get why it’s seventeen, because this is YA, but it really didn’t fit in with everything else.
The world building is pretty solid and the Fae are quite well done. Admittedly the four categories – Sylph, air; Nymph, earth; Sprite, water; Pixie, fire – didn’t quite work for me (the pixies mostly, they just aren’t fiery to my mind and I couldn’t remember what the water fae were until right near the end), but the Empyrean itself was an interesting place with plenty of rich description. However, some of the descriptions were a bit overlong and the plot definitely dragged along for most of the book, killing time until Lily’s birthday. It does thankfully perk up towards the end, but as I said there were times when I struggled to stay interested.
The plot itself is pretty predictable and definitely follows familiar lines, with twists that aren’t at all unexpected and some bits that could have been chopped out without anything being lost (Fenrir). But that’s not always a bad thing, it just puts more pressure on the characters, which left me wishing at times that there were more of them, or at least another pov apart from Lily’s to keep things ticking along.
Overall, though, this is a solid fae read, laying down plenty of foundations for the rest of the series. For me personally it didn’t grab my attention as much as I hoped from the blurb, but if you love a bit of YA Fae, then this is probably right up your street.
(I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.)
Great Book I couldn't put it down .Thank you for letting me read this book.
I love the book and the way the author did it
This is a very good book. Full of magic, action, friendships, mystery and fae. Great story line and strong characters. So grab your copy and enjoy reading.
An enthralling tale! Escape into the fairy world of the Empyrean, where magic pairs well with vengeance. Lily is a young girl mature beyond her years, but truly blossoms like the flower she's named for in the winds of change and the heat of battle. While the destination seems clear, the journey is anything but. Theresa Jones pulls you in with her original use of language to describe Empyrean artifacts, legends and creatures. You won't want to put it down, but when you do it'll be to search for Book II!
Ya fairy books are plenty.
But this one is awesome. The world building is supreme. 4 different of fairies (sylph, pixie, sprite and nymph) and the whole empyrean is amazing. As I was reading, it's like I could've been there.
Lily suffered a Major loss when she comes home to find her parents dead. Then she's whisked away... or really leaves on this mission to avenge her parents.
Alec, who finds her and decides to help her (for his own reasons too...) is hilarious. He's funny and smart and so dreamy!!!
The action was non stop.
And one thing I really loved, was how much Lily changes. She's a normal teenage girl at the beginning. But by the end, she is self.reliant, strong, smart and determined.
Such a beautiful book. And I've already preordered the second book.
