In 2022, I came across a captivating romance novel that stood out. It was a dark gothic fantasy romance, something that I hadn't explored before. I was in a reading slump, but this book helped me break out of it. Although I was hesitant to read it at first due to the presence of a love triangle and the fact that it was quite lengthy, I decided to give it a chance. And boy, was I glad I did. The love triangle in this book is not what you'd expect, and it is written so beautifully that it didn't bother me at all. 

The slow-burn romance in the book was something that I absolutely adored. If you're not a fan of slow burns, I'd still recommend giving this book a chance. However, be warned that it is dark, so please check for any trigger warnings!! The characters in the book are lovable, with an admirable heroine and an obsessed anti-hero. Amon, the anti-hero, is a character that really stood out to me and I couldn't help but fall in love with him. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good dark romance novel, especially one with a gothic fantasy twist.
