Absolutely in love with Isolde's strength and grit. The way she spoke her mind and put men and women in their place.
Also, a king who worships his queen's fuck-with-me-and-you-will-die attitude gets an A+ in my book.
I wish the big reveal (that was pretty obvious) had happened sooner. I didn't enjoy this enough to read the next book. And the reviews of it seems to be horrible.
I'm left feeling satisfied with what I got and I don't regret reading it. I just wish this was a stand-alone.

I was captivated from the start and loved the entire build up of the plot. Lots of emotion, deep connection and chemistry between MCs.
Isolde is fierce and brave but she is all heart.
Adrian is a savage anti-hero who will do anything to get back the love of his life.
Holy plot-twist! Okay I wasn’t completely blown away but I didn’t expect THAT betrayal.
⭐️ Strong, gripping plot- fast paced and balanced.
⭐️ Two formidable MCs
⭐️ Vampires/ witches/ curses| Dark and steamy
⭐️ Dark Emotional- Betrayal- heartbreak- vengeance
✨ OMFG plot twist

Isolde was hands down one of the most unlikable characters i’ve ever read. I hate it when authors think being strong and independent means being a trigger happy bitch with no respect for anyone but demands it from others. she blamed it all on her hatred for people but her hatred was frankly immature and rash. for someone who claimed to be 26, she acted like a toddler.
not to mention, i found it hard to believe they were in love when 99% of the time they spent together they spent having sex. a solid 60% of this book is sex with 10% plot and another 30% of Isolde whining and then deciding she’s going to do the opposite of whatever she was told just for the hell of it.
adrian was kinda bland too, i liked that he listened to Isolde but that all felt too easy. have a backbone my man and don’t be afraid to disagree just because you love someone.
spoiler: but i also hate romances that are reincarnations. it feels inauthentic especially since it was only Isolde/Yesenia reincarnated. He doesn’t really love her for her, he loves her for who she was and is projecting that love and i’m not about it.
last thing i’ll say, is the ending just wrapped up way too quickly and that “twist” yeah i saw that coming from a mile away. and honestly didn’t really align with her fathers character at all. it felt like st clair just wanted the dad to be a big plot twist of killing his daughter, when all the previous information contradicted that part of his character. i’m all for a big twist but only if it makes sense and i can reasonably see the change of heart. but i couldn’t. it felt cheap and like a moment for her to be like “gotcha! bet you didn’t see that coming!”
what. a. disappointment.
