The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent

adventurous emotional fast-paced

5.0

By some excellent-author-sorcery, this book was literally everything I loved in some of my all-time favourite fantasy books, combined 😍 It had Game of Thrones political machinations plus morally grey characters vibes, From Blood and Ash vampire kingdoms with gods vibes, Hunger Games gladiator battles to the death vibes, and our heroine was a bit of a serial killer? A bit Batman? I LOVED her!!

We had enemy vampire clans on the brink of war, a human FMC raised by a vampire king, a sexy vampire MMC, and THEY WERE IN A MULTI-EVENT BATTLE TO THE DEATH AGAINST EACH OTHER. It was everything!

If you love ENEMIES to lovers, you will be just as obsessed with this as I was. Whew, these enemies had ✨layers✨ If my E2L couple isn’t actively trying to murder each other like these two, I don’t want it!

My kryptonite? When enemies have a sentence they say to hit pause on being enemies and say something vulnerable and:

“Give me one honest thing.”

Turned. Me. Into. Goo. Every. Time.

I’d heard rumors that the ending of this book was 🔥 But I was still not prepared for how effing good that ending was!! One of the top three endings of all time, for sure!

I need the next book! I’m not okay!!
