Have you ever gotten upset with yourself for not reading a book sooner that's just been sitting on your TBR pile? I shouldn't have waited this long to read this vampire enemies-to-lovers romance; it was so good! The plot just got thicker the more you read on. I did not expect the book to end the way it did and now I can't wait to read the next book in the series. 
Adrian
was in love with her from the very beginning and he waited so patiently to have her come around.
He has a soft spot but only for her, which is absolutely endearing. 
I love that Isolde is a warrior and can take care of herself.
I enjoyed the scenes where she was capable of surviving and protecting herself, having a strong female character just hits differently.
 
The author did such a great job at making my blood boil every time Safira came up, props to her for making me dislike a character so much.
She got away with a lot, that bed scene though was chef's kiss. I am just glad Isolde had girlfriends who cared for her and didn't go after her man.

It's so sad when you find out why she's afraid of being near fire, it made me teary! 
Overall, I think this book has a great mix of plot and character development which made me enjoy this book from the beginning, middle, and end.
