This book has been on my kindle for a good year and a bit and I’ve finally read it, I found that it was good.
A good premise, interesting characters and good writing. Some sentences seemed very poetic as well. Yet I felt like this book could’ve been like 100-150 pages shorter than it actually is? Like I got so bored in the middle of it. 
The last 70 pages were WILD though. Those pages define increased my rating of this book. 

BE AWARE OF THE TRIGGER WARNINGS THOUGH.

Slightly fucked up and tense, but Lucian and Isadora are FIGHTERS. The twists simply didn’t stop coming omg. Some expected, some definitely NOT. An addictive and atmospheric vibe 🏰🌊🌶️

Get u a man who buys you a bookstore 😫🔪

Really didn't feel the romance

I enjoyed the setting quite a bit. That's what usually draws me to gothic works, they have such rich, lush, and atmospheric settings that just draw you into the world, and therefore the story. This one was no exception, but I found the romance quite lacking. I just didn't see their bond grow whatsoever. Sure he confided in her, but I didn't see the unshakeable, unbreakable bond of soulmates like I was expecting and that was really disappointing. But I'm definitely willing to try the author's other works. 

Also, this is definitely a dead dove do not eat situation, so for a full list of triggers pleaseee go to the author's website. I'm sure I wasn't completely thorough in my list here 🫶

Please heed the content warnings. It was very predictable and followed the typical dark romance plot lines. Which is fine IF you have a good plot. The idea for the plot was there, but it was horribly predictable. I guessed about 95% of the “big reveals” about a quarter into the book. The spicy scenes got boring fast. If you’ve got some time, it’s a fine read, but if your tbr looks like mine, wait on this one. I definitely had to make myself keep reading.

This book is a wild ride. Not only do you go through every emotion while reading but it made me have to stop and walk away just to process what I read. The writing was done well, the characters and story line are phenomenal. I highly recommend but also not for the faint of heart. There are multiple triggers in this book so please look into them before diving in
