I so enjoyed reading about Allessandra - a fiery independent murdress, and a shadow king brought together.

I loved the story and loved the romance and could happily read an entire series about these characters!

This book is literally awful. I have no idea why it is so well loved and popular. The morals are horrible

the main character literally murders someone and is praised for it

all throughout the book the main chararacter is encoraged to use her body to manipulate people and can we talk about the plot!! Where the heck is it?? There are so many conflicts that come up and they are set up to be the main conflict of the book but then they are solved fairly easily and do not mess up anything for the mc. Anyway the book is bad the romance in it is worse and I really did not like it. I do appreciate the hard work that went into this book and I guess it wasn't for me but a lot of other people liked it.
