5.0

Picking up a couple of months after the events of Crimson Moth, we find Rune unwillingly plotting with Cressida to take back their home with the support of Prince Soren. 

Recapped via different characters, cleverly reminding you of the events of the previous book, this is fast paced and action packed and I physically could not stop reading. 

This authors writing style is beautiful. It flows so smoothly and envelopes you into her world, her characters and their lives so beautifully. What really excels is how agonisingly perfect Rune and Gideon are as a true enemies to lovers storyline. There is so much hate between them, so much pain and strife, yet they are inexplicably drawn to one another in all the best, and frustrating ways. With, thankfully, absolutely NO miscommunication tropes!! 

One of the easiest and fastest 5 star reads I’ve given this year. 

I want to thank NetGalley, Harper Collins UK and Kristin Ciccarelli for the opportunity to read this as an ARC. The review is my own opinion and I have given this freely.
