Vampire porn for a majority of it. Isolede choose to marry Adrian the vampire king and learns of her past while falling in love with her king and discovering who she was in the past which was a witch.

This was Amazing

This book was amazing and I can’t wait for the next one. I loved the tension and the spicy and twist and turns.

I really loved this book but the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because I didn’t like how Isolde and Yesenia were connected. I understand Isolde is Yesenia reincarnated but the book kept referring to them as separate people so it just felt like Isolde had gotten ahold of Yesenias memory instead of actually BEING her. It didn’t feel fair to me that Adrian only had a love for her because of her connection to his past lover and it had nothing to do with Isolde as a person.

I'd give it a 3.5 tbh.

For those who like a tiny bit of plot with the sexy times! xD

It wasn't a bad book, but it didn't make me feel anything. It was mostly a lot of enemies to lovers sex until the last 1/3 or so of the book. If you're here for sex, then this book is for you!

I see motivation/similarities from both FBAA and Witcher:
Vampires. Lust. A witch for every kingdom. Blood trees.

The relationship with her father was so back and forth. He was two dimensional. At least Killian had some character.

I'm intrigued by the past life aspect though called it coming. I would read a second now that there's more to interest me. The best endorsement that I have for it is that I've thought about the plot and characters several times since finishing the book.

Holy HOT! This book had me blushing at times and I could not put it down. Consensual lovers with xxx scenes from the get-go. It doesn’t get better than this (at least, I hope it actually does in her other books, because she might just be my new favorite author). Ste-ea-my. Phew.

i’m still breathing heavy my goodness. it was slow& a bit painful at first but DAMN does it pick up. i love when a book comes full circle. all the little details come alive& it’s js so masterfully put together, chefs kiss. i drooled over the world building& love story& adrian, holy shit. i do wish we got better character interaction because sometimes they felt stiff and cliché. other than that beautiful read. slay.
