I've been meaning to read this one for a while... and I keep eyeing the special edition that's on pre-order for #RARE25London. So my heart is now happy for two reasons! 😂 And despite my having as big a fear of needles as Talia, it's reading books like this that really make me want to suck it up and get a tattoo!
This book is fast-paced, funny, sweet, sexy and slightly mad, but it makes for a wonderfully entertaining read! It's certainly not a book that lingers on the whys and wherefores of each moment, but for the most part it really doesn't need to; the story just pulls you along with it. As long as you are a reader who can just 'go with it', then you'll find this a riot!
Our MMC, Zayn, is everything you want in a fantasy man (except he doesn't have wings), and it was very, very easy to get the attraction even before you meet him properly. He's got the perfect balance of tortured soul, overprotective alphahole and light and fluffy going on, and there are moments when his internal conflict pours off the page. And I think I may have a new favourite fictional bird... Biscuit is SO CUTE! His origin makes him precious, his personality can't help but make you smile, and his actions are just beautifully done.
While I do like Talia as an FMC, I didn't quite warm to her as much. The fact that she is almost constantly screaming, or trying not to scream, did make her feel a little bit like an early days Doctor Who companion - make shrill noises until the hero comes to rescue me. There are certain elements that also make make her come across as a bit immature. Now, I will readily admit that it's nice to get a younger FMC who has some different personality traits in a fantasy book, but at the same time she's missing that grit that carries others from their humble origins to positions of power. I hope to see more character developed for her in the rest of the series to really make her shine.
This books lays the foundations of worldbuilding quite well, but it strikes a bit of an odd balance of there being almost too much information about some elements, with others lacking detail. I think after a few reads and a proper study up of the table provided at the back of the Kindle edition I would understand the magic system better, but for a casual reader the descriptions within the narrative send you a bit cross-eyed. And yet, I found myself wanting more information and grounding when in the fae world, as there just wasn't enough for me. Again, I'm hoping this get built upon a bit more during the rest of the series. In places, it's just a little bit too busy with different creatures, rules and lore to pick up on immediately.
I do love the premise, and as it is such an easy read I'll have no problem coming back to this one to pick up again in future.

With all the hype around this book i was expecting it to be amazing and was kinda of disappointed. There's lots of reference to what i am assuming is greek lore which i am unaware of which ended up confusing me. The book definitely has some hilarious moments and some sexualy charged scenes but overall i'm not sure how i feel about the book. I think my expectations where to high. I'm not sure if i'll read the rest of the series but who knows maybe at a different time reading the book will change my opinion.

Full transparency, l didn’t think l would've gotten so hooked with this type of book. I was reading two other books when I started this one and I couldn't put this one down.
First time I read or see about supernatural powers that are specific to your blood type, which was really interesting. The MMC is amazing and so selfless with the MFC. In my case, the book kept me hooked from the first chapter and I can't wait to keep reading the book series.

This book was a fun and easy read, but I didn’t really buy the relationship between the FMC and MMC. It wasn’t clear to me what they like about each other (apart from being hot) and why they’d fallen in love. I also got a little frustrated at the FMC’s inability to listen to instructions and the way she constantly got herself into trouble and needed to be saved.
