You can literally never go wrong with a Katee Robert’s book. This was a fun little palate cleanser book for me. It could have been a little darker in my opinion but the spice was 8/10 

Warning: spoilers (tagged) and profanity (lots of it)

It was okay although it started off great. For the most part, I did like Jafar and Jasmine's relationship and interactions. That opening scene???????? Yuuuuhhh

Very cringe.

Feeling some Dark Olympus withdrawal, I decided to start this series. This is much lighter on plot than DO, but Katee Roberts is the gold standard when it comes to feminist dark(ish) romance.
