Reviews with content warning for Cursing - Șarpe și porumbel

Great story! Magical powers, enemies to lovers, true friends, and a change of heart. A truly wonderful read. *It did take a while to finish this book. Until around 325 pages, I couldn’t put it down. Then the pace slowed down as the author tied the story up into a nice ending, which as just as fun to read but took more effort on my part to stay focused. *

Overall a nice story, but it lacked some depth and world building in the beginning of the story. I also had to reread paragraphs to understand the story. And also the end was

a bit anticlimactic.

Serpent & Dove 🐍 Review

“Why the fuck is everyone in this kingdom trying to murder my wife?” - Shelby Mahurin 💖

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 4.25 stars

I’ve had this book on the shelves since I joined booksta. It was so hyped! But with the hype came a lot of “meh” review too, so I just never got around to it. I opted to listen to the audiobook because why not? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I actually really liked this book! The start was a little slower but I still loved all the witchy vibes. Yes, it was predictable, your classic “I’m a monster and he’s a hunter” love story. But I found it written in quite a humorous way, I loved both Lou and Reid - they were so feisty! 🙈

I have to say, I don’t think I ever really felt the “enemies” part, we defo could’ve had a bit more fighting between them. I did like that it wasn’t just an easy acceptance from Reid, it made it all the more funny when he ended up with coco. Love her btw. 💪🏻

Whilst this book remained pretty surface level, it was a great set up. It left endless possibilities for the series and I already have book 2 ready to go! It’s odd because I wouldn’t necessarily force this book onto people, it’s not mind blowing. I just really enjoyed listening to it! I had my lunch in my car several times just so I could read more 👀

Have you read the series? Which book was your fav? 💕
