Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin
3.0
When I first read this, I went into it with the mindset that most of my favorite booktubers did not like it.... that being said I was SUCKED into this book. I read this ENTIRE book on VACATION. it's a good read and I'm now starting Blood and Honey.
Future me edit like 18 months later: after reading book 2 and about 10% of book 3 and also reevaluating what good relationship tropes are, i have to go back and change this from 5 to 3 stars. It’s an decent read if you don’t mind the misogyny, sexism and just plain bad attempt at enemies to lovers. That being said, it’s nowhere near as bad as books 2&3. I forced myself to read book 2 as i was in the remote Alaskan wilderness with no internet connection to download a new book but i became rather disenchanted after the 30% mark. Book 3, i tried to convince myself that I should at least finish out the series…. NOPE. That was a total DNF for me. Moral of the story, I’ve grown as a person and now understand why most booktubers hated this series.
