5 stars because this book was everything I love in a fantasy romance, dark, intense, emotional, and completely addicting. From the first chapter, I was locked in. The world is so rich without being confusing, and the stakes are so high. It’s got danger, blood, betrayal, slow burn tension… all the good stuff.
The main character? Obsessed. She’s strong, smart, and just trying to survive in a world that’s literally designed to kill her. And don’t even get me started on Raihn, the tension between them had me screaming internally. It’s one of those stories where every little glance and moment matters, and the way their relationship builds is everything.
This book gave me Hunger Games meets vampires with a dash of brutal romance, and I ate it up. The plot moves fast, the writing is beautiful, and the last few chapters had me holding my breath. If you're into badass heroines, high-stakes trials, and slow burn that hurts so good, this is da oneee

I'm surprised, shocked, and at one point was giggling enough that I'd thought I might give it straight up 5 stars. I did not expect that ending, and kudos to the book for taking those steps.
Read it within a few hours, it was so good…
Leaves hints throughout the book where you think you know the plotwist coming…
I PROMISE you don’t. Or, at least, how everything goes down. The last few pages rocked everybody’s world.
Vampires with wings, Romance, Distrust to Lovers, Loyalty, Adoption, War, Battle, not so Forced Proximity
Mention of past rape (retracted consent), mention of past repeated rape (non-graphic)
