meh. maybe i'll read book 2.

This book had me hooked early on! I loved the banter between Dacre and Nyra and wanted so much more from them! There is something that brings them together and it feels like they’re meant and destined to be with each other. 
Wren is super cute and I love her relationship with Nyra. Their father however is a total ass. 
I liked the whole jealousy aspect since it really got Dacre riled up and showing his true emotions for Nyra. 
Than ending pissed me off though.. his revenge sex with her was so not cool and so not what they deserved at all. I wished he would have fought for her as well but he doesn’t see her there as her escape but as a way to betray them. I know they will find their way back together in the end. 
I wonder where Nyra will go next.

I liked it! I didn't expect much but it was fun.

there is minimal plot and the fantasy element is just that people have magic. it's just romance and vibes - but sometimes that's what we need !

Holly never disappoints! She always delivers exactly what you need. I enjoyed this book so much. Holly's writing is always seamless and it shines through in all of her work!

The story was incredibly well-written, it kept me captivated every second! The characters immediately captured my heart. They have depth and charisma and a story that shows how they became who they are.
This isn't your typical romantic fantasy. It has a plot that keeps you engaged with the world and its characters. The story is told without any unnecessary scenes or details. And the spice can’t be beat!
This book has everything for those who love spice, action, magic, and the enemies to lovers trope. The spice, plot, and character building was deliciously balanced.
And that ending... Holly might just be the most clever author!
I mean if you wanted to write a book leaving readers fiending for more, this book shows just how to do it!

I can't wait to dive deeper into this world and learn more about the characters Holly introduced/introduces.
