Can I swear on here? I don't know, but holy s**t!
I recently read the mother of dark romance (if yk yk) and I didn't think It could be beaten, but my god this book goes above and beyond!
if you need an easy read to pull you right out of a reading slump this is the one!
Now, my TBR is somewhat 300 books long and a lot of books have been on there for a year or so, but this book didn't even last month on my TBR, I had to jump in and it did not disappoint.
The spice is absolutely amazing, the backstories of the characters are really heart touching and sad but my favourite parts... the plot twists and drops, holy moly, I didn't see a lot of them coming whatsoever and it was shut the book and scream moments.
I loved the characters in this and their personalities are. spot. on.
Seraphine is a hot headed, impulsive young woman suffering trauma and anger issues as a result; Leroi comes to the rescue and flips her life around. The character development in this book is insane and the way Leroi handles her and trains her essentially, is truly beautiful in the sexiest, most effed up ways possible.
I will recommend this book every day till the day I die, but please do check trigger warnings if you think there is anything that could potentially upset or hurt you.
I'm sorry Zade, you've been beaten.
Easiest 5 stars I've ever given and I cant wait for Emberly and Romans story Snaring Emberly on the 31st of March 2024!
Gigi Styx, what an amazing author, I will be reading all books by her from now on!

Holy moly this story left me on the edge of my seat! So many twists and turns throughout the whole book. I love that Seraphine was a bit psychotic and that Leori still found the good in her. If you like a grocery list of trigger warnings, an unstable female main character and a morally gray male main character this book is for you! This book had everything suspense, gore, revenge and spice. It is definitely one of my new favorites
Seraphine was kept prisoner for five years and forced to do the bidding of her captors. Leroi saves what he thinks is an innocent girl but comes to find out she is deadly. Can they survive each other?
