Finished tris a while ago and forgot to review.
I enjoyed the world and the lore. I do feel like it wasn’t fleshed out enough and the world could have been a little more detailed.
Otherwise, I enjoyed it and look forward to returning to the series at some point.

Talks about rape a lot and it just got to be too much for me.

The FMC was just so annoying, and the story was really dragging.

I love villainous love interests and this checked all of the boxes for me! I love a very morally grey character who will burn the world for the person they love. Morthanion is definitely that character!

I need to get this review written, I need a new concept...
Story.
A demon is sent to an island with other people that mages do not like. The island is hell, wtf is mages thinking, women do not stand a chance there. I get that mages are all, let's get rid of the baddies, but this was such a bad idea. But it makes for an interesting story since people are bad. Though we learn something late on that really makes me hate the mages, they were assholes too.
Characters:
Ok so at first I was really worried about Mort, he is such an alphahole. He sees a woman and is all, I will have her. Omg man, ahole much, and then he makes his I have never raped anyone speech. Which I find hard believing since he is very alphahole. But like always he does get into his big stupid brain that she is his mate. And he does care for her.
Aria, oh this girl was naive beyond words. I get that someone took care of her for 20 years ago, but I have a hard time believing she did not die one day after that person went away. She does have some sort of self-perseverance...at times. And she does go all My demon so very fast.
They are perfect for each other.
Judgement.
It was cheesy in a good way. A fantasy romance with darker moments, passion, and two people who I do not understand are still alive falling in love. So read it for the cheesy escapism.

3.5-4 stars!!
I was really excited to read this book because...THAT COVER IS GORGEOUS!!!!
Getting over my cover lust....
So this was a book about a horrid demon who has the chance to be redeemed through love. We've all read a similar rendition of this story whether it was literal or even metaphorical. However, Tiffany Roberts brings a fresh new voice to this wonderful story that never gets old. The romance between Morthanion and Aria was instant which was not something I particularly liked. I was a little wary of the insta-soulmate reveal and we allllll know I am not a fan of insta anything. As the story progressed I realized it was quite one sided on Morthanion's part, Aria was REALLY hesitant and I really liked that!
The writing was great and very well paced. I could actually see the situations in this book play out in my head with the language used. The prose was beautiful and their expressions of love were...AWESOME! My heart hurt a few times! *sighhhhhhhhhhh*
It wasn't just Fantasy and war and fighting. We get some STEAMY scenes! I was not prepared for that because of how the book was panning out before these interludes. I was pleasantly surprised and I love being surprised...IN A GOOD WAY! Those scenes were awesome so very well done, Tiffany Roberts!
Morthanion's growth as a character was quite quick and at times, not too believable but then he would do things that would show that he is still struggling with the change happening so I found it a tad bit more believable. I had some other minor issues with this story but I feel like their just related to my preference so 3.5-4 stars is my rating!
A very good debut novel and I will continue on with this series and these wonderful writers!

This was a surprisingly fun book.
It’s a little more on the serious side with topics such as murder and racism taking a strong aspect of the novel. The characters are from two different sides of a coin and struggle to connect, both culturally and personally.
It’s this interplay between characters and their forbidden relationship that makes this novel so fun.
The novel is filled with a lot of action that also drives the story forward, leaving you turning the page.
I definitely recommend.
