Just did a re-read and ❤️ it is still one of my favourite stories. Fae meets siren banter, mystery, sarcasm, slow burn romance that is just swoon worthy if you know what you know and read the story a second time. And I'll read it again someday, it's just that good 🪽🪶

This had so much potential but alas here we are. 

It's the under-developed romance really...

Enjoyed the storyline of this book. 
Did not like the pet name cherub. Kinda gross considering she was 16 when they first met and ‘fell in love’. Felt like the ending was rushed and didn’t really make a lot of sense so I’m hoping the next book has more about it. 

I liked the world building and their flirty relationship with each other. Can’t wait to read the next book and hopefully get some more insight into the cool new world

This book has some sizzling chemistry between our protagonist, Callie, and The Bargainer. There is good banter, some fluffy scenes and slow some dark snd possessive moments as to be expected when the love interest is part of the fae.
It flashes between present and past, building the relationship between our protagonists but also has an intriguing mystery plot.
