Good start
This book was a good start to the series, and I'm intrigued enough by the ending to read the second book to find out where the story goes.
I know this is a slow burn so it'll take time for all of the characters to develop more so hopefully the second book helps me to connect with the characters more.

Fantastic!
4-4.5 stars.
This was SO GOOD. I have loved everything I’ve read by Katie but this might just be the best yet.
The FMC Kassandra is mute and has been subjected to pain her entire life because of her powers. Without giving too much away, there are a lot of questions surrounding Kassandra that I’m dying to know and kept me hooked throughout the book. Where is she from? Will we continue to see her grow? How will her powers continue to help or hinder her? What’s with the dreams?
All the men are completely psychotic and I’m not sure they have any redeeming qualities which makes me want to continue reading more to see what happens and how they change as they interact with Kassandra.
If you like antiheroes, slow burn romance and some enemies to lovers themes, this is the book.

I really loved this book, but that is no surprise from Katie May! Very excited to see where this story goes but I can tell there's going to be a lot of love and heartache along the way!

This was a great first book. My guess is she will an all of the princes with her. I wonder who Raven is, could it be the assassin? How was she able to move to the other realm while sleeping? So many questions.
