Best filler book I've ever read 🫶🏻

Things we don't have: 

• plot

Things we do have:

• Sexual tension
• Lots of traveling (is there a "only one horse" trope?)
• Casteel once again murdering people for Poppy
• Weirdly sexual but hot scenes of Casteel drinking Poppy's blood
• Kieran and Casteel obvi being ready for a threesome
• Casteel caring for Poppy's wounds *sobs*
• yeah i think that's it

ofmeganreads's review against another edition

It was too much yes and no. The I hate you and the Oh his eyes and that I want you. I don't like the sexual content. I always skip pages, but this just felt like horny characters that don't know how to control themselves and have a civilized conversation. Plus, the gruesome history of the kingdom is too much to handle. It just isn't a book for me and I normally enjoy fantasy novels with enemies to lovers. This book is a walking disaster of triggers that I couldn't continue reading.
