i still almost have no words for this book. It was a fantastic time but very very (and i can’t emphasize this enough) unhinged. this is a book you go into for VIBES and for fun.
This book gets 5 stars from me for the vibes and just for the amount of fun I had while reading, i could not put this book down no matter how hard I tried, i was eating it up. I also would totally reread this book, and once KOTB2 gets released, i will definitely be doing a reread.
It also grabs you immediately, and the spice starts right away (there is also so much smut in this book - my rating is also heavily influenced by me ovulating while reading this.. so do with that information what you will)
the smut in this is so HOT & iconic (apart for the ritual which just had my jaw on the floor bc i am very much someone who is NOT into that in the books i read.. ✋BUT✋ it gets a pass bc i otherwise enjoyed everything else immensely & i would be lying if i said i still didn’t think tem was an icon in that scene, it was just insanely bizarre)
I am not really going to tell you much about this book as to not spoil it, & I agree with the author saying its the most fun to go in completely blind.
all i knew going in was that it was a basilisk romance & im so glad i went in blind. It truly was a wild ride.
ALSO THE BONUS NONCANON SCENE WAS SO HOT. THERE BETTER BE A CANON SCENE LIKE THAT IN BOOK 2 🫠🫦
