The first book of the new year that I selected for myself is titled, The King's Captive: Magiford Supernatural City.  This is book 1 of a trilogy by the author K. M. Shea.  

I've read a previous series from the same author titled, The Fairy Tale Enchantress so Amazon has been recommending many of her other books and that's how I stumbled upon The King's Captive. 

The King's Captive follows the story of Chloe, a supernatural with the ability to shift into the form a house cat and Noctus, king of the elves, a species long assumed to be extinct.  While in her cat form, Chloe is captured by a group of fae. Chloe finds herself rescued and now held captive by Noctus as his newly adopted house pet. 

Most of the book follows Chloe trying to find ways to escape from Noctus, but unfortunately for her, he placed a tracking collar around her neck that can only be removed by the same elf that placed it on her.

This was a very pleasant and easy book to read. I was able to finish it within 2 days of starting it.  It ends on a cliff hanger.  If you're searching for a new urban fantasy series that is a light read, this book should scratch the itch. 

As I stated earlier, it's the first book of a trilogy and while book two hasn't been release yet, I won't have to wait for long. The story continues in The King's Shadow, January 13th, 2023.
