This one’s for fans of Laura Thalassa.
I finished Wicked is the Reaper by Nisha Tuli in one sitting. This is very much an enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance in which the couple is at odds for much of the book—Wicked uses Rowan as ogre bait and keeps her in a cage for a time (yikes!). Even as his cold heartedness towards her softens, and is replaced by tenderness and a growing mutual attraction, I liked that Rowan doesn’t let him forget his wrongs, and she doesn’t stop trying to escape.
Wicked eventually apologizes to Rowan, and makes it his mission to take her back home, but I would’ve liked to have seen more groveling and atonement on his part.
My favorite scene is when *Spoilers* Rowan shoves Wicked into the ogre cage and locks him in. He likes that she got the best of him, which I appreciated, and it turns them both on (whoopsies).
Looking forward to reading more from Nisha Tuli!
Content notes: sex, wound tending (some blood), ogre-heart eating, kidnapping, captivity.
