I ate this book up. The tension between the characters was so good, and the plot kept me turning pages. I hope the second book reveals what the heck was going on with some of the weird vibes and things said by Estrella's family (for example:
Brann being super against Caelum and always saying "There are some things you don't know" but then not telling her???
) 
The spice in this had me blushing hard. It was very hot. I know I already said this, but the TENSION was so well written and added to the book. I loved the morally grey love interest but beware: if you are not okay with morally grey and sometimes intense male leads, this is not the book for you. Towards the end, he became a bit intense and off-putting, and I hope that is explained in the sequel.
I definitely predicted the main plot twist early on, but the way it was revealed still shook me to my core, and the build-up was still very worth it. I loved this book and definitely recommend for lovers of high fae fantasy romance.
