Well... I am completely obsessed with book 7 of the Clecanian series. I was maybe 3 chapters in to it when I sent a voice note to the friend I've been buddy reading this series with and said this book had the potential to be my favourite of the series and turns out I was right. It picks up where we left off in book 6 with Sophia being left behind in Vrulatica under the watchful rule of King Sikthand. Sikthand is broody, fierce, menacing, dangerous, and damaged thanks to his upbringing and life as King and the dangers and betrayal he has lived with because of that. He is instantly drawn to Sophia despite his major trust issues and can't help but want to watch her any chance he gets.
I ate this book up! The Beauty & The Beast feel to it, the stalker tendencies Sikthand displays, his obsessive, possessive, jealous, protective nature towards Sophia from the start was just EVERYTHING! Him watching her through the mirror yearning for her, the longing, and how he quietly did things for her made my chest ache! I loved Sophia's character, she wasn't a pushover damsel in distress, she had strength, curiosity, she didn't jump to conclusions, she based decisions off what she has learned since arriving on Clecania and the way she fought for herself and for Sikthand just delivered what I needed it to. The chemistry and build-up between these two was slow burn perfection! The spice was incredible, I am a vibes reader, and this all around ticked the boxes for me, and I had an absolute blast reading it. Stephen Dexter, you once again knocked it out of the damn park with your performance, and listening to you bring Sikthands dirty mouth to life was ๐จโ๐ณ๐ so thank you for that! ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ

Voyeurism abounds and some vampy like biting. Also lots and lots of tats! Not my thing, but I enjoy this series overall, so Iโm glad I read it.

Screaming, crying, throwing UP
This is my new favorite of this series. Hands DOWN.
I loved the plot, the emotions, the characters.
Daddy Sikthand is HOT.
