Wow! Spicy romantasy perfection. I loved every second of The Veiled Kingdom!

Holly’s writing transported me completely, and was so full of adventure and tension I could not put it down. I was hooked from the start by this captivating new world, and its ongoing conflict. I found myself immediately empathetic towards the innocents on both sides of the rebellion. Nyra’s a strong young woman who’s been sheltered a very long time. I love that no matter what is thrown at her she fires back. Dacre comes in scary and bad ass, searching for his sister and I was sold on him immediately as well. Both characters only grew on me as the story progressed. I couldn’t get enough of their banter with one another. Each of the side characters are likeable or interesting in their own way and I hope to learn more about them in the next books!

One of my top reads so far in 2024. I already want to reread it🤭 My first Holly Renee book and definitely not my last! I’ll be over here impatiently waiting for book 2, which fortunately comes out in July!

Thank you SO much to Valentine PR and Holly Renee for providing me an ARC. All opinions are my own☺️
