I was really feeling this book until the romance just busted outta nowhere. I'm not into instant attraction romance stories, especially when the hurdle between the characters is as significant as You Are My People's Enemy. It's just not realistic to me. 
That being said, I am curious about the coven plot and will at least start book 2. Speaking of, based on the abrupt ending of this book, feels like book 2 could've just been part of book 1, not sure this story needed.to be a duology. Guess I'll find out.

while there are a lot of similarities with ACOTAR, it’s mostly relationship-wise (secret notes and a cabin in the woods) and between Rhys and Bastion (shadow magic, wings, exaggerated reputation). The story for the most part is its own. I don’t care for most of the characters, but either does the FMC lol. It took me a while to get into, but by about the halfway mark I was invested and I flew through the end.

I liked Kirsi. She was the best part of the book for me. Also, I found Grey interesting. The truth behind dark king was what kept me going but I did not like the book overall.


The romance between Raven and Bastian felt rushed and out of place. She hated him but the momemt she met him she started to feel attracted to him. I don't like when a woman fells for a guy they hated (as long as the guy doesn't change or proves himself). 
The sex scen was sth I did not expect and I think it was unnecessary.


I hated the cowen leaders and Nikos. He was so annoying and controlling.

The story was boring from time to time. I was not impressed. Probably read the 2nd one too just to find out what happens.

It was predictable and honestly didn’t hold my interest too much. Was disappointed that she talked about how she hated the king so much but the minute she saw him she was sexually attracted to him. I also thought the other guy she brought home was going to be her love interest so that was upsetting. I really enjoyed the magic in this and how they’re actual practicing witches. Very rooted in the character’s culture. That was my favorite aspect of this book.

Ummmm it was fun?
