Plot or Character Driven: A mix

It is a very cliché enemies-to-lovers book, but the depravity on these pages is truly astounding. Not the most elaborate storyline and obviously the two of them have myriads of issues, but I definitely got invested towards the end. All in all, worth a read, but be ready to take a cold shower afterwards. 🥵

A fantasy world torn in two, a secret quest, enemies-to-lovers, vengeance, even some motorbike action - this book really ticked a lot of boxes for me.

Love can often look a lot like hate. And when someone has stolen a lot of your clients, you're not going to feel too snuggly about them.

But these two women (an assassin and a poisoner) play power games with one another as their carnal lust takes control - this leads to some steamy moments, for sure. But there are more false build-ups than steam scenes. Quinn and Scarlett's power dynamic is a struggle for dominance. And they both have secrets.

There are some intriguing side characters too, each with their own magick skill set. Stirling was particularly cool. I really liked the way houses collect their magicians - the buildings are sentient. Tattoos are then issued. The way each member of the team uses their individual skills is really well done.

Can these rival heal their city, or will they unalive one another?

A romantasy with a bit of an edge.
