I love this series! Book 1 was a 5 star read while this one was a 4.5 star read. I love the 2nd book but just not as much as the first one. We she the FMC unravel and try to find out who she is outside in a new kingdom. She struggles a lot but she is young and that is part of the journey. 

Expect:
- forced proximity
- 2 possessive MMCs! 
- Stalking
- tension
- secrets 
- miscommunication 
- politics 
- Fae and fae adjacent 
- monsters 
- hidden powers 

This is a dark!!!! Romance so read your trigger warnings.
