Omg is all I can say for this book.
I absolutely devoured it. I will note that the first half of the book really focuses on Auren and her own growth. Like half way through I was ready to fight Slade and tell him to leave her alone.
The second half of the book just did not stop. So much happened and I cried and laughed a lot.
I think my heart truly broke for Auren and what she has been through all because of her magic and greedy men.
3/5 on the spicy scale. Although there’s only two scenes, they were hot and dirty as hell. I am a sucker for dirty talk and this did not miss.
