WOW
I must say I was SCARED to read this book after the hype around it on booktok, but I am so glad I picked it up, this is my first 5 star read of 2024! It is slow to start but honestly what Fantasy book isn't, you have to build the story. 

What I liked
-Duel POVs
-Developing characters
-Easy to follow fantasy 
-Morally Grey MMC
-Strong willed FMC
-Plot twist 
-Adventure and Action Packed 
-Spicy
-Enemies to Lovers??

3.5

I’d give this book a 3.5 ⭐️, when I first started reading the book I was confused at first with the biological aspects but I enjoyed it because it was something fairly new to me and not my first choice but I found the story unique enough to continue. The plot twist wasn’t anything shocking to me, I predicted her “killing” the prince and suspected that she lost her memory and she was really an assassin. I was right that she was an assassin not that she lost her memory. All in all, Jeneane really said ENEMIES to lovers and that was the best part honestly and I liked her story enough to read the next book.
