Thank you so much, @katekingauthor and team, for the gifted e-copy of ATIEH. It's my top read of April. 

ATIEH was also @mythsanddreamsbookclub pick for our April book. 

I love it when a book makes me feel all the feels. I've come to realize that I really enjoy portal romantasy books. I was entranced reading this book and couldn't put it down. It's sucked me right in. Everything about this book was addicting. 

ATIEH had all my favorite tropes and the comedy from Alix that nobody understood was so funny. We had little inside jokes with Alix, lol. Alix is our fmc. Our poor girl has it rough in the beginning, but I'm so glad she got the ending she did. 

Daemon, Daemon, Daemon. 🥵 He is our mmc, who has a one night stand with Alix. He then abducts her and brings her to his world in hopes that she can be the one to break the century long curse. He is possessive and obsessive. He oozes touch her and 💀 vibes. Oh, and did I mention he has WINGS. 😏

My favorite character is Odessa. She is a girls girl. "ᴅᴏ ᴡᴇ ʜᴀᴛᴇ ᴛʜᴇᴍ? ɪ ᴍᴇᴀɴ, ɪ'ᴠᴇ ᴋɴᴏᴡɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʀɪᴘʟᴇᴛꜱ ꜰᴏʀ ɴᴇᴀʀʟʏ ᴀ ᴄᴇɴᴛᴜʀʏ, ʙᴜᴛ ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴛᴇ ᴛʜᴇᴍ, ɪ ᴀᴍ ᴛᴏᴛᴀʟʟʏ ᴏɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ꜱɪᴅᴇ." I can't wait for her story. 🥹

When a book has amazing side characters, the story becomes even more enticing. This is the second book I've read by Kate, and I'm never left disappointed. Her writing is addicting and the stories are so incredibly well done. I can't wait for A Storm In Every Heart.
