Of Blood and Aether by Harper Hawthorne
5.0

Let me start off by saying that I was captivated by page 1; this book is slow but you learn a lot. We are introduced to a lot of characters and I love the banter we witness in this story. The sexual tension between Kieran and Arken is *chef’s kiss* if you guys love a slow burn this is a good one. It’s slow but not too slow. With every encounter between the two characters there is a lot of banter and inner monologue between the two about how much they want the other. It’s so good. The story building is immaculate as well, there’s so much detail and that’s what makes it great. To me this book was fully immersive! There’s a lot packed in and everything was great! 5/5 and I’d give the spice level a 2/5.
