Why haven’t I read any Keri Lake book until now? WHY? WHATS WRONG WITH ME? This was AMAZING!! I am so obsessed with this story.. I could not get enough.
The MMC is daddy, chef’s kiss!
This book has monsters, magic, horrible side characters that you want to expire yourself because of how much they’ll get your blood boiling. The world building and character development was amazing and the FMC despite it being oblivious about everything at first, turns into a powerful witch at the end while figuring out who she really is and where she comes from .. many secrets are yet to be discovered and that ending left me bereft.
The way the author’s writing immerses you in the story with all the details is insane. The banter between the main characters was top notch, it had me cackling at times. Zevander is EVERYTHING you want for a perfect morally grey book boyfriend. He’s a fire and scorpion wielder, overprotective brother, scarred ASSASSIN with a horrible past, that’ll make your toes curl. I cannot wait for book 2, I NEED RIGHT NOW!

Another 5 ⭐️ read in 2024! I am obsessed! I’m making it my whole personality! This was a DARK DARK story with lots of trigger warnings you should all take a look at before diving in… be warned!
Alina is a badass FMC and I’m obsessed with her! she makes poisons and sells them at her apothecary to her secret clientele to unalive abusive man.
She is later stalked by a very distinct male who seems to be obsessed with her, but it turns out has many secrets up his sleeve and she is very determined to find out what they are.
This is a very very dark story about a creature who stalks his pray day in and day out because he wants to devour her, but ends up falling for her instead. Yup! a very unconventional love story with a plot twist and crazy ending. You cannot miss this one! Now to wait for book 2.🥲
