  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

A lot of the other reviews I’ve read about this book are either people comparing the MMC of this book to Zade or being angry that this comparison was ever made. Reading this book, I honestly don’t think they can be compared. The few hints are there like the roses and their motives, but they truly are inherently different individuals with unique experiences shaping the people they are. 

Aero was a difficult character to love but at the same time so easy. Sometimes his actions made me mad or irritated but then when the pieces fell together, it all made sense. In a way, we went on this journey with Briony in learning about this world and Aero. 

This book was super interesting! A lot of twists and turns, and a good amount of spice too! I rarely ever say this, but the spicy scenes were a bit too lunch for me. I feel like at times I wanted the plot to move forward but a smut scene was stuck in (I even just skimmed over a few). I enjoyed the story but it was just a bit slow for me at one or two points. 

Overall a solid spicy dark romance! 
Spice Level: 5/5
