I couldn’t put this story down, but I also couldn’t quite give it 4 stars. I wish the plot had fleshed itself out a little more, and I also wish our FMC had more insight and wasn’t so oblivious. Felt like the ending was rushed, and though I appreciate a good cliffhanger, our questions were left with only half answers. I do love the way JLA writes romance and spice! It was *hot* and I appreciated the dynamic between the FMC and the side characters.

While the book's synopsis initially intrigued me, the reading experience left me with a migraine 🙂 The plot had potential but fell short due to a lack of engaging writing, detailed world-building outside the “manor”, and character development. The “supporting cast” felt underdeveloped, barely interacting with the main protagonist or each other. Excluding Claude, who was “boss and CEO”, so she had to interact with him I guess 👁️👄👁️

The pacing was sluggish, with the most engaging” and “exciting” moments reserved for the end. Numerous dialogues and scenes seemed unwarranted, often using verbose explanations to fill pages rather than advancing the story. It's disappointing because the plot was promising. Don't even get me started on the ending 🙄 A cliffhanger when the storyline was finally getting good……Brother eugh!! What do you mean?????? 🤦🏾‍♀️I don't even want to read the next book at this point🧍🏾‍♀️

I fell in love with this book so quickly. It has everything I love in a fantasy. I can't wait to read the rest of the series when it comes out!

Whew okay what to say. I love Jennifer L Armont so the fact I didn't like this book was disap ointing. If you've read any of her recent adult fantasy books then the writing in this story may seem incredibly familiar. No I mean it. Like the same. The way the characters are described is almost identical to some of her other series. It almost read as a weird mash up fanfic of the blood and ash series and harbinger.

Speaking of unclear if she meant to do this but there's hints of the omega verse being incorporated in and I'm.....ya.... Soooo. If your a smut girly thought this book is for you. Almost every chapter talked about or had sex in it. That was also it's downfall though because nothing happened until 90% through the story. That's not an exaggeration I was noting it on my kindle. I was screaming at the main girl almost the entire time to use her powers instead of just passively accepting everything. It drove me bonkers.

Will I read the second? Yes, because Im a gluten for punishment and there's nothing more I hate them and uncompleted cliff hanger. (God dammit Jennifer).

Positive thoughts its incredibly queer which I appreciated.

A whole star is for the smut scenes and half a star is for that ending. Otherwise, this would be a 2 star book. Strange word choices in sentences threw me waaaay off. Reminded me way too much FBAA but less good even though it’s by the same author 🤷🏼‍♀️ and even though Thorne is the MMC, we don’t get a whole lot from his other than sexy prince dude. Very one dimensional. Maybe we’ll get to know him in book 2 (the only reason I want to read book 2 is the ending)
