This book really surprised me. I was just looking for a quick break from the tumultuous and traumatizing experience of Zodiac Academy when I picked up Blood Oath. I wanted a fast easy romantasy.

Book one was alright. The ending made me want to read book two. But I’m so pleased that Shadow Heart was better! 

The relationships and character development in this book were very enjoyable. Where before I didn’t feel like the boys had enough individualism I felt that change in this book. 

Obviously, Maven is kind of the highlight here. I love seeing her emotions come to the surface and her slow healing from the love her quintent. 

I’m honestly starting to struggle with which boy I like the best. Baelfire might be my favorite but Crypt is deliciously deviant lmao. 

Anyway with the ending being a cliffhanger (which I love in books) I will most likely continue this series! 

While this series isn’t necessarily something new for fantasy romance, I’m still enjoying it a lot. 

If you like Zodiac Academy, the Bonds that Tie, or Blood and Steel you might like this series as a little side quest!
