4.0

Solid romantasy that had me turning the pages and eager to read the sequel. I don’t think this one will stick with me for years — Oraya and Raihn aren’t at Mortal Instruments levels (my og romantasy love) for me, and I just really don’t love first person — but this was such a good time! And who doesn’t love a lot of fun, a brutally violent competition, and some intriguing world-building :)

4.75

I really like the story building, the way the word and rooms and battles are described. 

Classic enemies to loves. 

I often found my self fully emerged in the book and the characters, unable to put the book down. 

4.75 out of 5 purely because of the rushed ending but absolutely recommend

 MASSIVE END SPOILERS 
I found that the ending was very fast pasted and ended almost a bit sloppy,

she killed him, she brought him back, he killed her dad, kidnapped her, married her explained everything the end. All with in the last like 20 pages.

 Am I am excited to read th3 next book in the series.

5.0

A series of deadly trials, sort of similar to Powerless and The Hunger Games but add more death and more vampires.
