10s 10s 10s across the board!! 

 

This is a magical fantasy romance with a unique supernatural world that I don’t even want to spoil because learning about the magic as the story progresses is part of the fun. I love the FMC & the MMC, love their love towards one another, and of course the chemistry and spice between them is off the charts spicy hot. ♥️🔥🙌

 

We get:

🔥Multi POV  

🔥Will kill for her & Hates everyone but her MMC

🔥One bed in an inn 🤗 🛌 

🔥WINGS! 

🔥Powerful baddie FMC

 

Aurora Ascher writes these MMCs that I fall in love with in each book of hers and Raith is the newest MMC to add to that list. He has no clue who or what he is at the start of this story, and I loved the slow unveiling of the depths of magic in the world while we get to learn exactly who and what Raith is. (hint: he’s my newest book boyfriend and if anyone comes for him, they answer to me 😈😂) Raith is lethal, mysterious, and powerful, but he’s also a complete sad boi cinnamon roll for our FMC.

 

Harrow is the FMC and she is living as a “human” but secretly has magic. We also gradually learn about the depth of her power. Orphaned as a child, she grew up in the supernatural circus run by Salizar, where she works as a fortune teller keeping her power secret. Her true identity could lead to her death should it ever be revealed. 

 

This is a story that is heart warming sweet and full of magic and mystery. Plus it’s very steamy, and I love that. One must ask ourselves as we head into this read: who can anyone truly trust in this world?
