I LOVED LOVED the concept of this book! It was so interesting and I really enjoyed the romance in it. I feel it was very slow burn at first and then suddenly the characters fell for each other like that. They hated each other and then the next minute were all over each other 🤷🏻‍♀️. However, Lou and Reid were so cute together. I didn’t really feel bored at all in this book and the end had so many plot twists I was shocked at every moment. This book was filled with both witch and witch hunter culture and it was very interesting to see both sides of the story. The ending was so chaotic and god at the same time and the reveal at the end, woah. I was shocked. I liked Lou and Reid but they did make some stupid decisions, so ansel was my favourite 💗💗. 
P.S it’s giving nina and Matthias fan fiction too but that’s s good thing 😁😉

Overall a nice story, but it lacked some depth and world building in the beginning of the story. I also had to reread paragraphs to understand the story. And also the end was

a bit anticlimactic.

I’ll use this as a lesson to try not to buy/read books that are more than 500 pages and check too see if it’s even remotely good.

 Enemies to lovers just never disappoints!
I am obsessed with fantasy that includes witches lately and Serpent & Dove surely did deliver.
I love the marriage out of convenience/ forced marriage trope because it mostly leads to close proximity and only one bed!
Many of my favorite tropes were present and so I already loved the book for that!
Regarding to the plot it was always keep exciting and mysterious and imo not predictable! That is one of my main icks with books but with this one I did not predict the ending the least!
Reid and Lou have a great chemistry from the beginning throughout their highs and lows.
I am really excited to read the next book :)
I highly recommend reading this if you like the same tropes as me!
