THIS BOOK MADE ME LOVE READING AGAIN!! I had just finished some longer series, like Cruel Prince, Shatter Me, and Flame in the Mist, and I was having trouble finding books to keep me engaged. But when I found this book, it was great for getting me back into reading. The only other book I would say that matches this one is Six of Crows. If you like any dark fantasy books, and don't like a lot of spice, this book is perfect for you! Definitely a longer read but 100% worth it for all the plot twists.

This book is very slow in the beginning but overall great. The last 100 pages I couldn’t put it down. One thing I will say was there was a lot of vomit. I saw someone mention this in a review and couldn’t stop noticing it. However overall I highly enjoyed it and I’m excited for the next book.

This book had a lot of twists that I wasn’t expecting!

I had no idea that Gwenyth was still alive and that Az was a villain the whole time! It really helped add to the confusion and the feeling that you can’t trust any of them.

I’m hoping that some how in the series they figure out a way for humans and fae to have the same lifespan. It always makes me sad to picture the main couple having one be 80 and one be forever 25

 “Because if it’s true, then I fell in love with a monster all on my own. Without anyone’s help.”
