Wow! Possibly a new favourite romantasy series for me?! Time will tell, but I can tell you I did not want to put this down. Im really digging the From Blood and Ash/Reign vibes! A friend recommended this to me after I loved The Veiled Kingdom, and I’m officially a Holly Renee fan girl🤩 I’m obsessed, and I really hope as I read the next few books I continue to be. It’s a little more spice heavy than it probably needs to be, but I’m not upset about it. I love the chemistry between Adara and Evren❤️‍🔥 I can’t wait to learn more about them, because there’s a lot of questions going into book 2!

Don’t go in to this expecting a literary masterpiece, it’s a corny romantasy but I was very entertained! Hoping the next book won’t be as corny.

“I will give up everything for you, princess.”

5⭐️ 3.5🔥 I really enjoyed this fantasy forbidden romance book. I read it last year and just finished reading it again right before the 3rd one came out. It does end on a cliffhanger but it’s a complete series now. I’m a sucker for forbidden romances so this was right up my alley. Faes, vampyers, and a Starblessed 🤩 So much chemistry. This is definitely a quick and easy, spicy fantasy read. I couldn’t put it down and I fell for Evren’s dirty mouth so hard.

Not bad not bad. Just a short fantasy smut when you're needing a quick solid fix in between longer works. The forbidden love vibes kept things going and the chemistry between Evren and Adara was palpable. Not to mention we got our shadow daddy in Evren hehehe

Someone said this book was similar to What Lies Beyond the Veil but it felt more like From Blood and Ash to me.

Looking forward to the next book in the series!
