The angst, the action, the slow burn, THE SPICE. When he was massaging and touching her wings, you better believe I was holding my breath.  If you know me, you know I’m a huge fan of spice and the few scenes you receive in this book were done so utterly well and worth the wait of 300+ pages. Some of the romance was so poetic and just beautiful. I felt like I was reading all the action in 2x speed and watching it unfold like a movie I my head. I’m so pleasantly surprised by this final book in the duet after feeling like the first one was a little slow. Very excited to read the next duet!

The kiss was like a thunderstorm over the summer desert - a torrent that swept in all at once, obliterating the heat, so all-consuming that suddenly you remember nothing but the rain 😩❤️
