Even better than ACOTAR, one of the best books I've ever read.
And the final line... *chef's kiss* (screaming & crying at that ending)

And so Tamlin unwittingly led the High Lady of the Night Court into the heart of his territory.

Very much looking forward to reading the next in the series

This book takes the characters and story in an interesting direction as compared to the first book.  I liked this one so much better!  Feyre grows so much, Rhysand is captivating, and we get to meet more characters.  The romance is actually interesting and doesn't fall flat.  The world also opens up more in this book.  I'm so glad I kept going with this series.

What the hell was in this book?! It was so good. Feyre redeemed herself in my eyes, for sure. 
Rhys is so much better than I imagined he would be. The snarkkkkkk, omg. 

These two are also just 🥵 every bit of tension in this book was so dang good. I don’t know how any other book in the series could be this good. 

I don’t know if Feyre’s sisters and father can ever have enough redeeming qualities to change my mind about them. Tamlin sucks and has the personality of a wet paper towel. This one really drove that point home for me. 

Some of my favorite things:
• Be rude to her and I will literally break your arm into pieces is a new vibe and I dig it. 
• “I am very glad I met you, Feyre” 🥲
• I thought “touch her and die” vibes were good… but “touch him and die” might be even better. 

I see it. I see the hype. I’m pumped for what’s to come next.

Enemies to Lovers
Fated Mates 

Spice: 2.5 🌶️
