This had me reading under the covers into the early hours of the morning like a kid again. I was highly invested in Oraya's story. The dark and mysterious vampire world, the deadly tournament and the slow burn romance was to die for. I'm thrilled I gave this one a chance and cannot wait to read the next one.

Recommend for fans of:
- Serpent and Dove
- Slow-burn Romance
- The Shadows Between Us
- The Cruel Prince

Content Notes:
- Strong Language
- Sexual Content: 🌶🌶🌶
- Violence: murder, blood, gore, Torture (off-page)
- References or flashbacks to self-harm, abuse, sexual abuse

I’M IN DENIAL! ❤️‍🩹😩

“This was the stare of a creature who understood she was confronting death itself, and still chose to spit in its face.“

Badass FL! This story felt unique and captivating. I love the description of the world and the role all the characters have to play in the movement of it. I felt captivated from the very beginning. I loved how each character developed as the book progressed. The pacing was great! It gave enough time for things to unfold exactly how they should. It didn’t feel rushed to me. THIS IS QUALITY STUFF!

THAT TWIST ALMOST BROKE MY SPINE! I had vertigo the last 100 pages 🫨! I finished and stared at the wall for at least 10 minutes. The only thing I took points off for was the fact that I wanted to hear more about the build up behind the scenes with Vincent. I felt like that would have been the cherry on top! It would have set the stage for…. Anyways I loved it and I’m running to the next book 🏃🏾‍♀️💨.

Vincent 😩🤧!!!!!!!! Raihn 🤬😭😰🤧!!!!!! I did not see that sh*t coming! I was running around my room T R A U M A T I Z E D! Oraya 😭 I- I have no words.

I fell in love with this book but then it broke my heart. The rollercoaster of emotions throughout this book are too good. I think the author did a really good job of exploring PTSD and the freeze part of fight, flight, or freeze response.
“You found a way to defend your world when everything told you that you shouldn’t. Do you know how fucking hard that is? How rare? I wish I had fought the way you do. That is strength.”
