“He’s a monster, too, but maybe monsters do it better than others.”

I am not a fan of the whole woman disguises herself as a man trope in novels — so I was a bit worried about how I would feel about this one — but I ended up loving it!

I adored Kirill + Sasha as characters, and that ending pushed me to start their second book right after I had finished this one.

P.S. Kirill is a fantastic ally. 💅.

My first Rina Kent book and I like it!!

Everyone's talking about how naive and stupid the FMC is and I'm like "No shit?!" It's stated numerous times that she had a very sheltered upbringing. Also, her whole family was massarced (this is not a spoiler, we know this from the first pages). Of course she's naive and takes stupid choices!!! /endrant

I like Sasha and Kirill is one of my favourite MMC 🥹🥹

Starting the second book right now!!
