Hard to put down

Oh my God…I loved this soooo much and THAT ending wtffff criiiiessss…I absolutely love Dianna and how funny she is I also love Samkiel and their story, they have good chemistry and their love is believable and amazing.

I didn’t think I would end up giving this a 5 stars honestly. At the beginning I was having trouble understanding what was going on, all about the different realms and creatures and what happened to them, trouble with their names and who was who - but it was fine later on.

The stakes are high, the villains are very scary and believable and the plot is getting more interesting.

I would also like to add that they didnt feel like they were 1000 years old / centuries old immortals…they felt like normal human beings in their 20s…behavior wise.
Her sister has been alive for centuries and never took the time to learn how to fight ? How to defend herself ? She’s been surrounded by powerful supernatural monsters all her life for centuries and never learnt how to at least throw a punch ? Have a gun or something ? I still can’t understand this

I am not a fan of contemporary fantasy so please take this review with a grain of salt. Or two.
First I could not understand how immature Dianna was. It wasn’t at all in line with the awful things she apparently did for Kaden over the last thousand years she’s been alive. And every “bad thing” she does is turned around so it’s actually a good thing?
I could only picture Liam as a robot learning about this new world. And his powers were supposed to be so amazing but he never used them!
I can see why this book is popular, the setting is fun, the stakes are high, the banter was decent. The pacing and the characters just didn’t hit for me.
