5.0

To be honest, I was hesitant to start this series because I'm not really into sci-fi but when I saw that there's fae and magic included, I gave it a go. Thank goodness I did.

I finished reading this book in 1 day and immediately I know it'll be one of my top reads for this year. The plot is mind-blowing, the tension and chemistry between the characters are so delicious, and I love how the story kept me guessing as to who really is the enemy. I won't say too much to avoid spoilers but I'll definitely be reading book 2 right away.

If you're into science fiction mixed in with magic, fae, rebellious group against opressive race, mind games and power plays, then this is definitely for you. Highly recommend!

Just a heads up, this is NOT a love triangle. It's a reverse harem and the first book has extremely low heat/spiciness level.
