Please check TW’s BEFORE reading!!

Spice: 🔥🔥🔥

I couldn’t put this down from start to finish. 

Although it felt somewhat predictable, I found myself not anticipating major plot twists. 

This is not a “happy” retelling, and deals with dark & difficult topics. Please be advised. 

However, I found the world, characters, and plot absolutely riveting. 

This ends on a cliffhanger, is an unfinished series, but the final book is scheduled to be released this year.

Where is the 🌶?! I was promised 🌶!!! Jk! This book was actually really interesting, I loved learning about king Midas and the MC who’s name I can’t remember… I like how she wasn’t fully submissive but she was a little naïve at times. This book is not as gross or explicit at people make it seem. There’s only one sex scene in the beginning and it’s used for world building. I’m excited for the next book!
