I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

What a wild ride this book was.  From page 1 there was always something going on.  Whether it be Lennox's mystery of how she landed in the outermost reaches of her guild's cover, or stepping in to help an innocent shop keeper, or even finding herself face to face with a horde of undead.  This was the perfect book to pull me out of a reading slump.

I really got pulled in around 40% completion. I absolutely adored Svet and Lennox together.  His actions were a great contrast to Cato's. I do hope we get to see more of Lennox and Svet's blossoming friendship as the series progresses.

As much as I love a good enemies to lovers/slow burn romance, I found it kind of annoying how much Lennox fought against Cato.  I understand that she was raised to hate supernatural, but it made the spicy scenes a little hard to get into.  I really hoped at least some point she wouldn't resist him so much,
but even in the end she was still fighting his advances.


Overall, a pretty good read.  I would definitely recommend to anyone that loves a good supernatural romance.
