Big thanks to NetGalley as always, for the ARC of The Enemy’s Daughter by Melissa Poett in exchange for an honest review.
This book completely pulled me in—I couldn’t put it down. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. It had everything I love: real enemies-to-lovers tension, forbidden romance, the dystopian setting, layered characters, and so many twists that I never knew what was coming next.
Isadora is the kind of protagonist you root for immediately—strong, kind, but not perfect. And Tristan? Let’s just say he’s the kind of morally gray character who keeps you guessing in the best way. Their dynamic was so compelling. The connection between them is intense, dangerous, and messy in a way that feels believable and earned.
What I loved most was that this isn’t just a romance wrapped in fantasy—it’s a story with real stakes, clever worldbuilding, and emotional weight. The plot moves fast, but it still finds time to explore big questions about trust, loyalty, and how far you’re willing to go for the people you love.
If you’re into fantasy with tension, heart, and characters that feel real, The Enemy’s Daughter is a must-read. I’m already hoping there’s a sequel—I need more of this world!
