The Enemy's Daughter by Melissa Poett
4.5

Thank you to the publisher for an advanced copy of this book.

I absolutely loved this book! I couldn't put it down and spent my time itching to pick it back up. This is a Tristan x Isolde retelling set in a post apocalyptic world and it is a standalone.

When Isadora's father holds a competition to murder Tristan's father- a rival leader- a series of events unfold throwing Tristan and Isadora together. They enter into a bargain to save Isadora's life and slowly a magical connection between them unfolds as they become closer and attempt to end the war between their rival groups. 

I couldn't get enough of this book. Such an interesting concept and well executed. Tristan and Isadora are such a cute couple and their romance was so believable which I loved. The scene where he called her Iz for the first time was adorable! The plot made sense and things weren't thrown out there for no reason and the side characters were fleshed out well. Shout out to Enola who I loved! 

I don't want to spoil anything but I really enjoyed this book and kind of wish it wasn't a standalone because I want more!
