Delve into a romance of escaped slavery into fake marriage and a contract of mutual revenge in this quick read that will have you gobbling it up until the very end! Hannah is a determined human seeking to prove herself to a higher ranking species and earn her "wings". I'm unsure what exactly earning her wings means, do they do a genetic alteration to humans after they prove themselves? Unsure, but even so, Hannah is kicking butt and catches the attention of an unwanted mentor that doesn't take kindly to being turned down for mating. She's ambushed and forced into slavery, but she escapes with a demon and the only way to survive is to trust him that he has a mutual desire to kill the very same guy that destroyed his own life and she discovers she might like this fake new life that she's fallen into.
Loved it! Definitely give it a go if you like shadow demons and a kick ass FMC that are perfect for each other!
