This was my most anticipated release of the year, and it did NOT disappoint!
Our FMC, Genevieve, accidentally enters The Hunt, a Hunger Games for demons after receiving an invitation on her late mother's behalf to visit the Enchantra household. The opposing participants of this annual “game”, including the unwelcoming and brooding MMC, Rowin, face being dragged to hell for the next year of their life as they are eliminated. Genevieve however, has much higher stakes in store as a mortal, losing for her would mean a certain and permanent death. In addition to participating in these deadly trials, the MCs are forced into a marriage, despite their immediate distaste for each other, and must learn to work together when their life forces become entwined.
I loved every twist, turn and trope in this book! The characters were very well written, and I really enjoyed how thoroughly developed each of the family members were, considering side characters usually don't get as much attention. I would say that this felt slightly less spicy than Phantasma, or perhaps it just seemed that way because it was more condensed to the final portion of the book and a slower burn overall. I was very satisfied with the ending, definitely not where I was expecting it to go, and eagerly looking forward to the release of Book 3!
