My very first book from the author and it won't be my last!

The plot is very well written, well-paced and really intrigued me until the end. The mystery, the flirting and bantering, the sweet comforting moments makes me keep flipping the pages!

The world building is also fascinating and easy to understand, the idea of one court being ruled by two different rulers based on when they need to rule in one day is very interesting (a king rule during the day, and a queen rule during the night). I hope to learn more about this court in the next book.

The characters are very loveable and easy to connect with, especially the FMC – Kat. Kat is a strong female MC but at the same time she’s haunted by her past memories and harsh reality of her marriage life and debt. I love seeing how she grow throughout the story and I admire her when she’s trying to stand up for herself when her life is surrounded by egoistic men.

There’s also the love interest – Bastien! A swoon-worthy love interest but also mysterious with too many secrets and can be very intimidating….
I want to know more about him and I hope we got to see from his POV in the sequel!

Overall, this is a fantastic way to start a fantasy romance series! It’s already off to a good start and I’m really looking forward to know more.
Highly enjoyable, entertaining and definitely will recommend this book cause I devour this so fast!

Thank you to Paper Myths and the author for giving me an e-ARC of the book and for having me on this book tour. I’m leaving this review voluntarily!
