Wow. Such suspense and romance thrown all into one. This book kept me enthralled and I had to finish it in just a few hours. But can we talk about the ending. How can Caitlin do that to me??? I need book two as of yesterday. Oh my gosh I love the characters! I still can’t get over the ending. Oh my gosh. This book was such a quick read for me because it was like I was there among the characters.

3.0

This one was just okay for me, and I give it around 2.5 stars. The premise was what grabbed my attention, because it had everything I love in fantasy, but it wasn't anything special for me. The plot seemed to jump around, and I found certain sections were rushed, while others were too drawn out. I also had trouble finding the main characters likeable at times, especially Layla. She was close to 30, but her naivety made her seem a lot younger.

I did like how the book started off fast paced, because sometimes fantasy reads are slow to take off. This made me think I was really going to like it, but then found myself dragging a bit to finish it. There is potential for a good story, and with that cliffhanger it does make me want to read the next one. So I'm not giving up, and here's hoping I like the next one better.

Thank you NetGalley and Victoria Editing for the ARC!

THIS BOOK HAD ME FROM THE MOMENT I STARTED, I FOUND MYSELF MAKING PREDICTIONS ON THE PLOT TWISTS, SOME WHERE PREDICTABLE BUT I DO LIKE THAT SOMETIMES.
LAYLA HAD TO BE ONE OF MY FAVE CHARACTERS AND I FELT I COULD RELATE TO HER AND HER PERSONALITY.
I FELT LIKE THE FIRST PART OF THE BOOK WAS INCREDIBLE BUT I FELT LIKE THE LAST PART WAS RUSHED SLIGHTLY BUT I WILL DEFIANTLY BE PICKING UP THE SECOND BOOK TO READ FURTHER.
OVER ALL I ENJOYED THE BOOK
