All Autumn Collins wanted to do this weekend was go on a nice weekend getaway with her friends and maybe confess to her longtime crus. While she was at it the crappiest luck possible got her stuck inside of a library alone instead. Well, maybe not fully alone. Instead, she is stuck with the school bad boy Dax Miller who she knows nothing about except that he might be trouble. She thought she would just be stuck for an hour or so until her friends realized she was missing but for some reason, no one is coming to get her.

A Court of Frost and Starlight is the fourth book in the series and definitely the most boring. This book is short, but it felt like forever while reading it. It is the definition of a filler book as it follows Feyre and her family in the Night Court over a holiday. This book is different from the others since you get multiple perspectives which was interesting. The book was not bad, but it was definitely not on the same level as the other books.
