4.5

To start, this book is steamy. The spice starts in the beginning and continues to simmer through the whole book. However the story does not rely on that and is a well written story that had me feeling all kinds of ways. The big twist is predictable if you are paying attention to the clues, but not in a boring way, you still get to revel in the reveal. The characters are likeable, but not without flaws. The portrayal of grief and being pushed to a breaking point by it is one of the best portrayals I've seen from a "chosen maiden" trope. Poppy is special and strong, but also very human. A fantastic dark romance and I'll be reading the next one.

Funny dialogue. Slow reveal of the world building and the characters. The violent scenes were concise and effective movers of plot.  

It reminds me of TVD Damien and Elena.
