This book....I was hooked from the first sentence, and devoured it in 2 days. I cannot wait to continue this series. I picked it up because a lady i follow on tiktok described it as an adult Mortal Instruments. It's similar in the fact that it has all the monsters (werewolves, vampirea, demons), and people that hunt them, a.k.a. Darkslayers. But that' where the similarities stop i think. The world building was so good and thorough, the characters are all amazing, and it has a slow burn romance that I just ate up. Oh...did I mention the shadowdaddy 😉 and spirit familiars!

I could not put this book down! I loved the world building and the story line. But most of all I loved Darien and his character development.

His growing love for Loren is written like a dream. The only things I didn’t like were that the main focus was on the romantic relationship and not as much on the plot. I also found it hard to believe how quickly Loren healed in the end even though she was covered in bruises and scrapes and almost drowned…I also didn’t understand why the Widow said that she would die if she used her power but then ends up being absolutely fine after having used it.
