Three words to describe this book:
Blood. Fire. Desperation.

Wow! What a sorry! Insanely likable characters, an interesting plot, amazing world building and I love me some gay romance.  

It reminds me a lot of that song from Hunger Games:
🎶Everybody wants to rule the world. There’s a room where the light won’t find you, holding hands while the walls come tumbling down. 🎶
