“One thing I can promise,” his voice was deep and sensual in the dark, “is you won’t ever doubt it’s real when I touch you.”

If ever there was a book to embody the words, "sexual tension," it is definitely this book, hands down.
Especially the scene at the Crescent Shallows?? JAKXNKSKXNANnsnalsfokencl aaaaaa.
I love how both Emilia and Wrath try in their own way to respect the other, but maaaaaan, they're so horny it's insane. And everyone can see it lol.


Any doubts I had with the first book disappeared in this one. I enjoyed it oh so much. From the worldbuilding and imagery to the descriptions of the attired donned by the characters, to how every clue ties into each other, it was all perfect. 

The banter between the characters is super funny to read. Emilia is written beautifully. She's strong, but she still has weaknesses that she acknowledges. Her emotional struggles make her very real and not just another "she's badass and totally untouchable" characters. 

Can't wait to read the next book.
