Okay honestly, this might be my favorite book ever!! I was super sceptical before beginning it, especially since I've been in a reading slump the past 6 months but this book immediately got me out of it!! I read it in like 2 days and already bought the sequel and am so excited to start it! 

This book was the perfect mixture of a dramatic plot line, character development and a sizzling romance!! I am obsessed with Juliette as well as Adam, but even side characters like Kenji or Villains like Warner stole my heart! Every character in this book is writing so incredibly charming it took my breath away! 

I recommend this book the everyone who likes a good fantasy romance,, and even though it didn't get steamy in this book, there are many more books to follow and I'm incredibly excited to go on this adventure!!

I previously DNF’d but gave it another chance and really enjoyed it.  The writing is poetic and authentic. Juliette is such a complex and troubled character. And many side characters were very enjoyable. I enjoy her and Adam but I know the really party is with her and Warner. Kenji is my fav and I can’t wait to learn more about these characters. I’m enjoying the ride.

“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”

“You're absolutely delicious when you're angry."
"Too bad my taste is poisonous for your palate.”
