4.0

I really enjoyed this book. Even more than the previous instalment in the series and was fascinated to have the original plot be so relevant to the story of this book. 

All I have to say is pages 270-272 I may have read multiple times already

🖤 Dark Romance

💘 Forced Proximity

😘 Enemies to Lovers

🧚‍♂️ Fantasy (Fae and Vampires)

🥀 Hades and Persephone Vibes

Absolutely such a cute book.  I love the characters, the plot, and the world building.  It was all so good.

Usually I struggled to read high fantasy but this was such an easy and entertaining read I read this in two days.  It was such an enjoyable book.

Grumpy touch starved fae that kills everything he touches (literally) meets a dying human who is able to get away with touching death himself.  Faenir was such a lovely character, Arlo was his perfect match for sure.  Their dynamic was written so perfectly.

Arlo doesn’t want his sister to be taken in the Choosing by the elves. He’s also fighting off a sickness using Vampire Blood. Elf prince Faenir has a much different problem & wishes not to choose a human. 

MLM, Enemies to Lovers, Hades & Persephone Retelling, 3 🔥

“Family does not constitute love as I am sure you have been led to believe. You cannot choose your family; love is earned not granted just because of shared blood.”

“I will carve out an eternity just for you to be with me.”
