This book wasn't bad at all but I just felt after half way I got all I was going to get out of it.

This is one of those books I read in one evening and the moment I finished it I regretted not being able to read it for the first time again.
It has one of the sweetest and heartbreaking romances. With a lot of amazing plot twist that had me at the edge of my seat. Even when Ben gave so many small hints, but in such a skillful way you don't pick up on it until the plot twist is revealed. Making me feel like just like with Rhory things fell into place.
Soon as I get my paperback copy I'll reread it!

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC reader copy of this book. Now I adore Ben Alderson's writing so I was overjoyed.
The Darkmourn books are some of my favourite spicier fantasy books there are and this didn't disappoint. As someone who is healing from trauma myself this book struck a chord with me, and of course although I couldn't relate to everything Rhory dealt with, some quotes really stuck out of me.
"You need no one but yourself. There will come a time when you'll understand that others do not have the power to fix you".
This isn't my favourite Darkmourn book, but honestly I think that's just personal preference. I just prefer Fae more what can I say?
Overall I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to anyone looking for fairytales made gay (and spicy). As always, I am aware reviews may differ but honestly I just don't think it's in me to not enjoy something Ben writes.
