This had me reading under the covers into the early hours of the morning like a kid again. I was highly invested in Oraya's story. The dark and mysterious vampire world, the deadly tournament and the slow burn romance was to die for. I'm thrilled I gave this one a chance and cannot wait to read the next one.

Recommend for fans of:
- Serpent and Dove
- Slow-burn Romance
- The Shadows Between Us
- The Cruel Prince 


Content Notes:
- Strong Language
- Sexual Content: 🌶🌶🌶
- Violence: murder, blood, gore, Torture (off-page)
- References or flashbacks to self-harm, abuse, sexual abuse

I kept seeing this book on instagram and I thought it seemed up my alley. I was right! I like being pleasently supirised! A tournament, an underdog (love underdogs), female bad ass (love this too) and a man with bat wings LOL

Who doesnt love a little battle to the death? And that ending! I was shooketh!

I was thoroughly entertained, as I always am when wings and vampires are involved. I think it would be better gay.
