This was my first time reading this author and I did not realize it was the second book in a series when I started but it was completely fine to jump right in with this one. I was immediately sucked in by the world building and Talia’s character. It was a very unique storyline and I loved Talia’s character. I loved that even though she was in the position that she was in, she wasn’t weak or stupid.

The reason that I gave this 4 stars as opposed to 5 is I did not like the prince. I’ve read plenty of dark romances with MMC’s that start as jerks but they always make you love them anyway. That just didn’t happen for me here. However, the plot and the FMC were good enough that it made up for my lack of love for him.

This is definitely a dark read so check those TW’s and don’t go into it expecting a sweet story- if you’re ok with a dark, but interesting and spicy read, you will enjoy this one.
