Thank you @/boundbymischief and @/authorwhitneydean for the tour opportunity.

I loved this book, I started reading it cuz I had heard good things about it, but no one told me that it would hurt - I loved it more because of that. As in the words of my friend @/frommailenesbookshelf, ❝This book is a roller-coaster for sure but the good kind.❞ 
❝I love when the "hero" turns out to be the villain and the villain is doing the right thing in a way!❞ I feel the same way, and thank you for listening to my rants.
This book DESERVES the hype and more.

I love both the main characters as well as the side characters, it was refreshing to see the FMC as morally grey and possessive. I liked that it was Dual POV, it developed the book even more and made it motr interesting.

Raven is one of my favorite FMCs, she is so strong, her internal turmoil, her development with her powers. I enjoyed reading about her so much.  I liked that she found her people, in her kingdom. I admire the love that she has for her kingdom, she is such a great queen - and she is ZEKE'S QUEEN.

Zeke is one of the best, I loved reading his POV, the way he felt about Raven, his powers are so interesting. He is caught in between and has conflict within himself. He has shown that he will do everything to protect Raven, even distance him from the love of his life. But, he never gave up on her, he was always there for her - even if she didn't know it.
There were so many moments in which I felt like giving him a warm big hug, my poor zeke  baby. He has become one of my book boyfriends. I know that the nickname 'baby' might be common for people, but I love it, especially when Raven and Zeke call each other by it, and 'my little demon' is everybody's favorite, including mine.

I didn't like Cade at all, although I do think he could have done better. I could see the huge difference with how he and Zeke behaved with Raven.

They are reincarnated lovers, and I could feel that every time they were near each other, there connection was AMAZING, they are power couple, and I can't wait to see their relationship grow more. They fit each other so perfectly even though they are so similiar, their demons dance with each other - which I love. I can't wait oto see how the romance, their love story can be even more better in the next book.

No one told me that this book would hurt so much, it had angst - which I loved. The way both of them were hurting in so many different parts of the book. The emotions were so well displayed.

This book is said to be the beginning, and the second book - A Kingdom of Frost and Fear to be the love, the instalust starts to grow more, and I can't wait to start the second book.
