This was a nice start for a new dark paranormal romance duology! There's a lot of different creatures vampires, witches, demons & more! The chemistry between Aisling & Mrak is nice. But with Mrak not having a corporal body yet & having so many secrets it will be interesting to see what happens with their relationship & what happens when the secrets are revealed. It was a fast read, entertaining & interesting! I'm definitely going to be watching out for the next book!

2.5, round up
Soooo, this was readable and had an interesting idea but honestly wasn't very well executed. The beginning is hella repetitive. Like the author couldn't figure out how to show us things so they just kept telling us. The heroine ran around and did things. However, it never felt anything but random, because the author didn't really take the time to anchor the plot. The entirety of the relationship building was skipped in a full year jump in time. (And come on, learning to live with a demon INSIDE YOU should have been pivotal to the story!) So, I held absolutely no investment in it. There wasn't any world-building to speak of. So, I didn't really know what the limits of possibilities were, etc. All in all, I was initially interested but not impressed enough to bother continuing the series.

Fiery
Slow start but it hooked me! I enjoyed the dynamic between aisling and mrak. The grille thing was anything but conventional which made it so much better. I am excited she became so strong and finally fought back for herself and all others like her! Can’t wait for book 2!
