The Lingering Dark by Jade Church
4.0
If you expect this book to be just like the other romance novels Jade has written in the past, then you are mistaken. Not only is it completely different from what she usually write, but it contains a very complex yet simple and super interesting magick system involving stars, kingdoms, secrets, lies, and histories that will undoubtedly have you asking questions in this new fantasy world.
This time not only do we get one romance, but we get two, one being sapphic, between Auren, the mortal queen's guard who claims to be the true heir to the throne, and Saiph, the heir to the kingdom on Stars who was sent by her mother to kill the rebel queen. Along with Orien, Auren's twin brother, and Valentina. Though I will admit, Vala, Saiph's twin sisters also caught my eye.
Expect a fantasy novel full of lots badªss female MC's, enemies to lovers, half-stars that are vampires, and lots of witty banter between Saiph and Auren. I can't wait to get to know more about Orien and Valentina's story next and that cliffhanger at the end, I was not ready for it at all!
