It was fun, but the enemies to lovers was not enemies-to-lovers-ing.

CW: suicide

I wasn't sure about this book at first from the reviews and the author continuing to use "female" and "male" as nouns (annoying).  But in the end I really liked it :)  Very spicy third act.  Can't wait to read more!

The sudden reveal that Remy was actually a fae in glamour for the majority of the story felt veru rushed. Other than that, the whole book was a really good intro the the series and the world! Plus, really cool non-binary character :)

This book was described to me as "ACOTAR but with queer and POC representation." And yeah, that's pretty close. Enjoyed the world building, though I definitely cringed at the writing and dialogue at times. Still though, zoomed through it and will eagerly continue the series

This book was a fun and entertaining read for me for almost 90% of it. Remy's "secret" in my opinion was heavily hinted at throughout the book and therefore not much of a surprise for me, or really anyone even in the book at the end. All the characters around her had guessed as much from the good guys to the bad. The climax is what I didnt enjoy, the fight felt rushed, convenient and frustrating for me. It didnt do the entire book justice.
I will probably continue the series.

The pacing and dropping of very important things gave me whiplash and I could see the “plot twists” a mile away, but I still had a good time.

This book made me feel a lot of emotions. It was definitely a can't-put-this-book-down kind of book. I will definitely be reading the next one!

I wanted to like this book but there were a few things that made it difficult. Namely, the amount of times “that” or “those” used to describe things like “those dark eyes” or “that warm hand” was really odd. I also found it off-putting how often someone was referred to as male/female. I don’t read many fae books or books with a fated mate trope, but Remy and Hale’s relationship felt shallow and that it relied on the fated mate trope.

However, I do really appreciate the world building, as well as some of the diversity, between the
non-binary
character and the amount of same sex relationships. I wished there was more focus on building out the magic system because after the reveal, it felt like it wasn’t as important to Remy.
