adventurous mysterious medium-paced

Re-reading this book now that The Sacred Stones trilogy is complete feels like returning to a spellbinding dream—full of slow-burn romance, forbidden magic, and a world that still holds me captive.

My first MZ book and I was satisfied to read it. I loved the banter b/w these two and you know when they say something so sweet in their own language and then pretend like it was nothing and gives her a nickname? Yes, this is it!

And if you're in the mood to read:
❃ Sports romance
❃ Revers grumpy X sunshine
❃ Childhood frenemies-to-lovers
❃ He takes care of her when she's ill

Then what are you waiting for?? Go pick it!!

"No one else gets to kill you, Ms. Vitalio. The last face you see before you die will be mine. When it comes to death, you're mine."



Tristan and Morana make me completely obsessed with them and I'm so angry at myself for not reading this book earlier.

And let me tell you I'm a sucker for the badass female characters and this one was above else. Morana Vitalio is a very strong, determined and intelligent independent woman that I want to see in every character.

Tristan Caine is the new standard, girlies! I liked him from the very beginning, no matter how much of a jerk he was and that got more understandable after getting to know his background.

And the most important thing I loved in it was the writing of the author. Damn! She has a way for making woman swoon for them.

I highly recommend this book if you're looking for:
