Holy crazy ride Batman! From the kick off, the audience is thrown into a world that feels a little familiar but completely unique.
We quickly meet Dianna who is unlike most FMC as she is the tool, the executioner of the villain's will. Formally human and cursed with a mortal heart, Dianna must commit truly heinous acts as part of a long held deal that resulted in the rescue of her beloved sister. Dianna hates what she has become for the sake of sister's life but wouldn't have it any other way. Kept away from the ones she loves, Dianna seems almost settled in her hellish life.
In walks Liam...the World Ender. Through unique circumstances, Liam returns to the current realm after years and years of self-imposed exile due to shame and self loathing. Liam is the last God and is therefore responsible for the world and it's people. Dianna is the one species that reigned hell onto Liam and those he loves. Despite being enemies, Dianna and Liam form an unlikely partnership that develops into a friendship founded on empathy, shared trauma, and the desire to heal themselves and the world.
This novel was a wonderful ride filled with tension, spice, betrayal and ultimate loyalty and sacrifice. Don't sleep on this one! Run don't walk to this book!!!
