Read this book if you want vibes of The Witcher: Biggest Lie of 2022

I was hooked the entire time while reading this book.

It was so refreshing to see their story unfold as I have never read one that was filled with so much hate and vengeance yet so much love at the same time.

I absolutely fell in love with the Winter King and his behaviour towards Adara

I am truly obsessed with this book. I love Adara’s boldness and the gentleness of the winter king. I can’t wait for book two to come out because this story hooked me from page one!
Five stars read, no doubt. Holly Rose’s writing is so captivating and easy to follow. Flows like poetry.

Maybe it gets better with the next release? I needed a little more something from Adara and Elaric’s relationship.

This was a poorly written fanfic of Beauty and The Beast but we ONE LAME SEX SCENE
Poor writing and zero plot, we know nothing about this world, we get NO context at all and you expect me to get inmerse in this story? Sorry but it’s a big no for me and probably the worst book of the year

This is the third book I've read by Holly and just like the other ones, the world building is amazing. While reading, you can picture the setting and the characters.

The story pulls you in from page 1, there's no long intro to the story.
We follow Adara and the Winter King who holds an annual ball in search of his summer bride. But every year the chosen ones are never heard from again. Three years ago Adara's sister chosen and ever since, Adara has only had one mission: kill the winter king. But to do so, she'll have to be chosen as his bride.

The book comes out in December and if you like the enemies to lover trope and you love Beauty and the Beast, then you'll need to get your hands on a copy.

Despite all the frequent Disney beauty and the beast rip offs, Hercules mini rip off, and frozen rip off, I really really enjoyed this. Although it our heroine whines a bit much in her head A LOT. That got boring fast and just reiterated why I don’t really like first person.
