Remy is a red witch in hiding. Hale is a Fae prince. The two team up to track down some lost relics that will help them reclaim the land from the evil Nothern Court King. We have some classics tropes here, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, one bed, but honestly, I’d say enemies to lovers is a stretch, and is it really a one bed trope if he actually sleeps on the couch?! I felt like the romance developed quickly, but it made sense considering other factors that I won’t get into here. I loved the side characters. Specifically, Bri and Carys. Bri is getting her own book, and I’d love to see a story centered on Carys too. There is a lot of action! From the start, it’s a fast paced book with plenty of fighting and fantasy court drama. But the last 70ish pages is where it really picked up! Some may argue that the ending was rushed, but I quite enjoyed how everything came together!  I’m looking forward to reading book two, though, if I’m completely honest, I’m not a big fan of the two characters the second book is focused on. But Bri’s book isn’t out yet, so I may as well read it while I wait for that one, right?
