What it's about:
Paedyn has been living in the streets and hiding her "ordinary" status from the elites. When she unknowingly rescues the prince, she finds herself thrown into deadly trials where she has to choose whether to trust the prince or not.

What I thought:
I loved this book! Paedyn and Kai had such great tension and so many great scenes together. The trials reminded me a lot of The Hunger Games, which I loved. I also enjoyed the side characters in this story too.

🎧 Audiobook Thoughts: I really enjoyed these narrators and would recommend this format.

⚠️ lots of violence, death of loved ones, grief, panic attacks, and more.

🌶️ just kisses
