Thank you to NetGalley for sending me this ARC!
First off I LOVED the historical note at the start of the book. Any story that has come from something specifically inspired should do that- it’s so good.
I was so intrigued at the beginning- the setting and the historical notes of it all had me sucked in. I feel like the further we got into the story the further this drifted away which was a shame! It started out at a good pace then felt overwhelmingly fast.
There were moments throughout where things happened so quickly that I actually couldn’t make head nor tail of it. It would have done so much better to draw certain scenes out.
My favourite characters were actually Dolion and Minette- I would have read a spin off juat dedicated to those two. Gargoyle/Human romance… who knew that’s what I needed? Their romance was actually more believable than Gella and Sebastian’s which I feel was a little too rushed. I also have a bit of beef with Sebastian as I think he was a little too “it’s all about my pleasure” if you’re getting my drift.
I will say I loved all the mentions of the paranormal beings. I greedily wanted to know more about all of them.
Alas if you want a fast-paced and spicy paranormal romance. This one is for you!
