I saw this book on tiktok and immediately wanted to read it. And once I saw the audiobook on netgalley I requested it and was so excited when it hit my library! I loved this book, it took me a little longer to get into it. But I did enjoy it and I'm excited for book two

This story is the first of a duet. I would highly recommend reading the two books back to back.

An important note, there is nothing morally gray about Enosh, just a straight up villain. He is entirely unlikely for most of the book. Truly violent, most of the sex in the book is noncon, bordering on straight up rape given Enosh’s full control over all flesh and forcing reactions from Ada.
I feel a bit bad marking this book down from 5 stars. The story is just a touch too much and a touch too violent for me, all of the magical elements of the book made it a palatable read. I feel bad marking it down, because I think the book is an almost perfect version of the kind of story it has set out to be. This is a truly fantastic take on a dark dark villain romance. Enosh truly doesn’t care about anything, but keeping Ada. One of the best examples of an obsessive and dangerous kind of overwhelming love, or just lust is Enosh is believed.
