I love this book. I don't like Kitt not even gonna lie. It had me sweating and everything. Kai is just...wonderful. The way he speaks about her and to her, you can just tell her is head over heels.

A dark fantasy, reminiscent of Hunger Games, but with magic.

4.0

It definitely is slow burn, has no sexual content. Which is good don’t get me wrong, it’s YA, but it could have been closed door. The slowest burn that has ever burned, I might die from these burn scars because I can’t get enough from it. If you think this book is enemies to lovers then you’re going to be disappointed. It might be rivals to lovers but if I’m going to be serious can it be considered that if they’re attracted to eachother from the start? I still enjoyed the tension between the two and the banter was exquisite. I still think about them. 
It is dual POV tho.
