I almost did not finish this one, as I felt the plot was painfully slow at times. Also, for most of the book, I could not for the life of me enjoy Pestilence as a character.

I know this is enemies to lovers but it never really felt that way to me. I couldn’t figure out a way that Sarah could possibly fall in love with Pestilence after he DRAGGED HER BEHIND HIS HORSE?!! Like, that’s a bit much for me. Also, I’m not a huge fan of female leads who *aren’t like other girls*.

Sarah’s character really just did not vibe with me overall. I’ve read this whole series now and this is by far my least favorite. I do think they get better as you go on though.

The story is an easy read with likeable characters despite the hard truths behind what is occurring, the plaque. The underlying discussions of what it is to be human, and religion in general is done well. The same conversations are repeated throughout the book, but new information typically comes from them. I really enjoyed the complexity of the character, Pestilence.
Overall enjoyable dark romance about the end of the world.

When I first started reading, I didn’t think I was going to enjoy or finish it. However, I hit a point where it started to pull me in and I’m so glad it did. I loved the humor in the book and the characters were entertaining. I would definitely recommend reading!

At the beginning of the book, I knew eventually Sara would have to end up with him. Although, while reading I just kept thinking, “how is she going to love him after doing this to her?” but when it hit the point that he put her on his horse and let her ride with him, I knew he was gone for her and that was how it started.

I loved every minute of this book. It is a very slow burn type of romance and I loved the realness of the main character. The story itself was also moving in certain parts and it did a great job at displaying the complexity of humanity—in all its good and bad. The spicy 🌶️ scenes were written well and my only complaint in that regard is that I couldn’t get enough! 😝🖤 Five star read for sure!
