Painted in gold, Jaslyn was born into a life of luxury with the world at her feet.
After the death of her father, his empire became hers and the princess became a queen. Painted in gold, Jaslyn was born into a life of luxury with the world at her feet.
Her fortune was sought after and deception and deceit had a ring around her finger.
But with the ring, came the accessories that money can’t buy.
At the hands of the new king, the empire began to crumble as Jaslyn’s world spiraled out of control.
Through the bars of her prison, she watched life pass her by.
Hope was fading quickly… until she met him.
Axel was the glimmer that she needed to survive.
From the wrong side of the tracks, Axel’s life was never easy.
He worked his way through the blood and sweat and went from rags to riches.
When you’re on top of the world, one mistake is all it takes to lose it all. And getting back up is always harder than the fall.
Getting his life back came with an offer he couldn’t refuse and he would pay the cost.
Jaslyn wasn’t part of the deal, but she was a temptation that he couldn’t escape.
She was his endgame and he would fight to the death to get to that finish line.
Together, they roll the dice and risk it all for love.
But when you gamble in the game of life or death, you pay a price.
And sometimes, that price could cost you everything.

My Thoughts <3
I have said this before, but I am REALLY digging the Sinister Fairy Tales series! Mirage is a modern day Aladdin with major twists and even more deceitfulness, but the underlying story is along the same lines with a lot spicier and devious plot. I think the author did a really good job with Mirage and I saw the comparison with Aladdin from the very start. BUT, it is a duet, so be bracing your self for it to end right when things get good and BOY is it a HUGE cliffhanger- can’t wait for the next book in the duet!
All in all, if you like the spin offs of the fairy tales and like your books dark with super interesting characters, I recommend you checking out Mirage, I enjoyed reading it and give it 4 outta 5 stars!
PS: Thank you to CM Radcliff, Sinister Fairy Tales, and Enticing Journey Book Promotions for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly!
