Fantasy romance with mythical elements. It has a complex world and characters dealing with power struggles, family, and love. The story is engaging, though some parts are slower than others. If you like fantasy with strong characters and heated romance, this book is worth checking out.

  • 3🌶️ ; I gave this 3 chili peppers for the quantity of spice not for the quality. 
  • This book is for the vampire girlies who prefer more spicy content then plot. But I had that expectation going in so I was fine with it. Although I do wish the plot and main male character had more background. This may come in during book 2 but was definitely lacking book 1.
  • The banter between the characters  was hilarious.
  • Easy universe to understand and jump into.
  • This is a vampire, forced marriage book. 
  • This book wasn’t bad but could have had better plot/ writing.

Great story. Certain parts were a bit hard to enjoy like the random
slavery arc
. I also didn’t so much enjoy the love story or the heroine.

4.5

Really loved this book, the storyline and characters were engaging and interesting and kept me on the hook. Isolde is a strong woman that is able to acknowledge her flaws and misgivings, and learn from them. She is able to cry and feel doubt but come out stronger in the end. Adrian started out as this terrible man but as we got to know him? He truly was a good man, if a little murderous. Touch and die vibes for sure. He had heart and gave Isolde answers, which I frequently find frustrating in other books when the men keep their lovers in the dark. He has good intentions for Isolde and built her up instead of trying to drag her down to keep himself on top. 

The twist was fun and I enjoyed it, it wasn’t rushed and Isolde wasn’t giving all knowing power like some books tend to do with this kind of twist. Really excited to see what happens with these two! People say it’s smut with plot but I felt it was pretty even, and I felt the self doubt surrounding the sex was understandable. It needed to be intentional for this kind of book to work so I went with it i can be pretty picky and critical when it comes to unforgivable plot armor for a romance to work in a book. You have to be able to enjoy this kind of thing to really like it

The spice was more of a 3.75-4, I felt like it seemed a little rushed through when it came around but was still hot!
