I just.... I just... It's been a long time since a book made me feel like I JUST. CAN'T. EVEN. Swooniest of swoons, the heartiest of heart eyes, and tooth. rotting. fluff. Noaz deserves the world, and I am SO glad Briar was the one to give it to them.

Noaz is such a sweet human. I did not expect Briar to be the other MC of this book, but I was not disappointed. This one definitely gave us more insight into the Van Doren empire. It was a lot of world building for the series. However, it was also a very sweet romance between 2 lovely humans. In the end, we get a wee bit of murder that I've come to expect from the Van Doren's.
I can't wait to see how the rest of the books come along. ♥
