I thank the author for giving me an opportunity to read eARC!

The book was my OBSESSION.

Sofia wants to avenge her parents dead and plotted the revenge against the person who rubbed everything from her 7 years ago. When she married him, she wanted nothing more than to execute her plan soon and done with it but what she didn't expect was that her husband hired a bodyguard to protect her and that same bodyguard was the one she left seven years ago to protect him to avoid being caught in the crossfire of her plans.

The suspense. The mystery. The angst. The longing. The spice. The chemistry. Everything was perfection. I loved Sofia because she's strong and badass female despite the trauma and nightmares she went through. She's a survivor. Theo's hot bodyguard who got a sweet spot and filthy mouth for his Sofia, and loved her despite the pain and angst he felt when she left him. He also has a tattoo on his ring finger like three dots with black lines connect to SA (her first name and his surname) that's the cutest thing I've seen! *swoons*

Sofia and Theo was pure fire. The tension between was 'chefs kiss'. They are literally soulmates! The love between them was beautiful and awe. The spice was fucking worth after all the high tensions! Sofia's past was heartbreaking and I loved how the suspense was maintained till the end but to be broken yet again. Sofia and Theo didn't give up on each other no matter what! I really loved both epilogue and can't wait to see who's book next. I'm hoping for Noah!

Darker book I've ever read

I haven't read King Arthur and his knights story before but I love the suspense, mystery, betrayal and lies are well woven in this book. I'll definitely looking forward to read second installment. Check TWs before reading!

Devastating. Haunting. Emotional.

TFAWF was a masterpiece beautifully written by the author. I never felt this kind of feelings in my life. Idk If I want to wail or laugh manically. I'm drowning in the Whirlpool of pain, longing, heartache, angst. The book has given some answers but only arises more questions and uncertainty. There's a lots of things I wish I could say, but couldn't find the right words. I just loved everything that has happened and terribly, Idk if I'm ready for book 4. However, I can't wait to read it!

Actions. Adventure. Thrilling. Captivating. Hilarious.

Dex is the runaway princess who wants to escape from the prophecy and curse thrust upon her before she was born. When she found a book that would release her from the curse, she accidentally unlocked a powerful, mysterious male who was bound to the book 200 years ago. Dex could only see, hear and touch him so, he's a shadow to her. Both are forced to work together to find an objects that would fully release Gideon from the book and fulfil the prophecy to end the war.

The author left me speechless with her new dark fantasy romance and I still don't know what to do with the cliffhanger. She's really good at twisting the plot and the world building was incredible. The MCs (Dex & Gideon) are soo made to be with each other and Gideon is my secret affair (you'll understand when you read) and Dex is my moon goddess and I'd worship them both. She is fierce, badass and sassy as hell and Cinnamon roll hero who looks like a lost puppy but would kill without lifting his finger. It was slowest burn romance with enough spice to make you sweat. There are snarky comments, Gideon saving Dex scene, toe curling moments. The ending left me 'wtf'.

Thank you soo much for ARC and you better tell me everything you do in book 2. Oh and thanks again for putting up with me the whole time while I was reading!

Amazing dark fantasy romance

I've been wanting to read this series for soo long and now I did it. I loved it because the story was intense and intriguing. I loved Finley because she knows her worth and does what she wants. I loved the tension between Nyfain and Finley. Nyfain was the beast and was cursed by his father. He's rough, grumpy, brooding yet tender and gentle when it comes to Finley even though they both fight over arguments. I also loved Halriel, Leala, and Finley siblings. I was like at the cliffhanger- what the hell?! Now, I'm gonna continue book 2.

I thank the author for giving me an opportunity to read ARC in advance.

The story continues where book 1 ends and my god, what a ride! More actions, angst, secrets, past memories, and...spice. After Rain's grave injuries, her past memories comes back to her along with who and what she saw and it made a small conflict between her and her mate. In desperate to avoid a war, enemies turns to allies and they plan to take down their enemy King Yaga once and for all.

I loved Bernard and his banters was top notch. Especially with a fierce little fairy Clapa. There was a surprising twists and more romance and my favourite scenes was where Bernard first met Clapa and epilogue (you'll understand once you read).

Night and Rain was one my favourite cutest couples and I loved them soo much it hurts. It was sad to say goodbye to Nightrain but can't wait to read the next Tricksters story.

Tethered was one of my anticipated book and vampires are really not my type but this book changed that and I freaking love this book. Sebastian and Luna are unlike I've ever read. Seb and Luna literally bickers like old couples. Seb and Luna trying to find out why the priest tethered them and both made a deal to find a way from Tether.

The story gripped me from the very first page till the very end. Seb and Luna push each other limits and keep on pushing. I loved how the author defined forced proximity and the relationship slowly builds from reluctant allies to friends to lovers. Slow burn are swoon worthy. I loved both POVs. Seb and Luna really made for each other. I laughed, smiled, raged, shocked. A couple of heart melt moments that I melted. And I thoroughly enjoyed this book and after that ending I don't know what to expect! Well, i could easily guess how Tormented gonna be but still, I don't want to think about the pain that's coming!

If you guys haven't added this one to your tbr, Idk what you are doing!

Thank you soo much for ARC
