"When light and dark collide, your fate will be split in two".

I couldn't believe this was a debut - the writing & world building were both amazing!

A strong FMC who we see go from prisoner to an absolute bad ass, and a dark, mysterious MMC who is to die for - especially with quotes like this 😍

“Truths, little demon. I don’t want you to feel alone when you’re with me, because for some reason, I don’t feel so lonely when you’re here. I can’t explain why, but you’re consuming my thoughts. Like the sweetest poison that will kill me if I don’t come back for more.”

I enjoyed the multiple POVs throughout the book, along the mixture of characters - Cora being one of my favourites!!

Overall, I loved this dark, fae romantasy, and after that cliffhanger, I can't wait to dive into book 2!
