Holy Shit! I am hooked on this series! I can't believe I waited so long to start it. Wow wow wow. The plot line, the characters, the absolute way I am addicted to these made-up people🤣

This book had everything that I want in a romantasy: mystery, corrupt politics, a handsome morally gray main male character who cam dirty talk and support his gal, an absolute badass main female character who fights and loves equally, world building, great side characters.  So, so good!

This book was really beautiful. I love a tragic love story, and this was that but with a very non-toxic level of romance, which i feel like is traditionally hard to find. The storyline is unique and raw. The characters are all lovely. This book made me FEEEEEEEL to my core, and that is always a 5 star in my world.

This was a very sweet, heart-warming love story! Im so glad I was chosen to obtain an ARC copy. The plot line was very sweet and felt very realistic.  The two main characters were kind and loving and very human. Their relationship was so very healthy and non-toxic. There was a lot of filler and redundancy of emotions when we switched the POVs, which I didn't love, but otherwise, I enjoyed this read.

If I wasn't the leader of our book club and this wasn't a book club pick, I would have DNF'ED at page 50. It was absolutely a hate read for several reasons:
1. There was no defined plot! It just rambled and rambled. 
2. How the hell did this strong, beautiful black woman want this wimpy weak (rich) white man? 
3. The use of big ass words that were unnecessary felt like an attempt by the author to prove she is intelligent.
4. The sex was apparently the best of her life, yet it felt like it was written by a man or a virgin! Fade to black romance would have been a better option.

Glad its over!

I really enjoyed this story. After DNFing 3 different books I was so happy to find myself ADDICTED to this one. There were some repetitive lines used which is slightly annoying to me so its why I didnt give 5⭐️. The scene setting was beautifully done. The chemistry/tension between Remi and Brick was soooo good. Character development was fantastic and the thriller component to the story line was great.  And the spice! Wooo-weeee, was it spicy?! Wow!

The lack of explanation of the magic system turned me off. I made 100 pages and have zero interest in seeing how this story goes. Also MFC is boring!

This book was very good. I listened to it and the narration was fantastic.  I especially loved the switch in slave talk to white talk done by Jim. It really drove home how slaves had to dumb themselves down for whites in order to stay "safe" within the social stereotypes

Damn what an ending to a great dark romance series!!!! This is tied with Eyes on Me as my favorite in the series! The storyline, the character growth, and the sex were all just fantastic. There is a 3rd act breakup, which I typically despise, but this book absolutely needed it, for once this trope was utilized correctly!!!!

This was a very well done thriller with a touch of love story. I enjoyed the subject matter and the nicely closed up ending.
