“It’s only murder if they find the body. Otherwise, it’s just a missing person.”
“Maybe you should handcuff me just in case. Teach me a lesson?”
“Your hands are tainted with murder. And yet I trust them completely.”
“My beautiful killing mate. My partner in crime. My little killer.”
This book was absolutely amazing! I’m speechless.
I loved Jane as a FMC. She was strong, fierce, and talented, and I loved her character development. Her life wasn’t perfect or easy but she was able to overcome the obstacles and the traumatic experiences. I was interested in her as a character and instantly wanted to learn more about her and her past.
Also, both the MMCs, James and Alex, were interesting characters with different backgrounds. I have to admit that I’m usually not the biggest fan of love triangles, but in this book the love triangle aspect worked really well and was well written.
James and Jane had an instant attraction which resulted in some nice, spicy scenes early in the book. Reading about their interactions at the beginning of the book made me feel like they’re made for each other and that they’re soulmates.
The relationship development between Jane and Alex was slower paced, but not any less intense. I loved how Jane and Alex had this instant deep connection, and how easily they were able to understand each other. They were similar in some ways, both being artistic and also having a darker side.
The spice in this book really was spicing, and there were a lot of great spicy scenes! 🥵❤️🔥
The storyline kept me hooked from the first pages to the end and I finished reading this book in one sitting. The writing was captivating, making me feel like I was in the middle of the story, and I couldn’t put the book down.
There were some really fun parts that had me chuckling (“Aww. What’s wrong? Can’t handle being hit by a girl?”), but also some really dark and sad moments that made me cry. I love it when a book makes me feel for the characters, and this one truly did.
There were so much happening, and at times the pacing was quite fast, but it never felt rushed. The book ends with a huge cliffhanger, and I can’t wait to read the next one!

I really wanted to love this book, but I have mixed feelings about it. There were some parts that I really enjoyed, but unfortunately also some parts that I personally didn’t like.
The beginning, maybe the first 25% of the book, seemed really promising. I liked the Tangled/Rapunzel vibes of a princess being locked away in a tower while everyone in the kingdom thinks she’s dead, and of course the dragons. Also the world seemed really interesting and was described well.
The beginning of the quest also seemed interesting, but unfortunately, after that the storyline went a bit downhill.
The whole book takes place in about 10 days and there was way too much happening in those days (enemies to lovers, quest, finding a dragon, discovering powers etc) and everything happened way too fast. I personally would have preferred the pacing to be a bit slower, so there would have been more time to explain and explore things a bit better instead of running around and rushing through the whole story. Also, the timeline could have been a bit longer. Maybe this could have been separated into two books?
The FMC was quite naive, and I don’t think she really grew up or learned that much during the story. And again, the relationship development between the FMC and the MMC just felt rushed. They went from fully enemies to lovers in a few days.
There were some things I wish would have been explained more, and also explained earlier in the book. For example the whole reason why the FMC was “locked away” wasn’t clear to me at first. Also, the whole Scalekind thing would have, in my opinion, needed more explanation (why/how the FMC was Scalekind, what does it mean other than being able to communicate with dragons etc). Also at one point her blood was being drained and drunk without any explanation.
While I usually enjoy descriptive writing, there were some instances where things that weren’t really important for the story were described in too much detail. Also, at times I would have loved things to be shown instead of being said/told.
This book was really YA, and I’m sure a lot of younger readers will really enjoy this book, and I think I would have loved it as a child. The fact that it was YA didn’t affect my rating because I knew that before reading.
I always feel bad saying negative things about debut novels, but these are just my honest opinions. I don’t think this was a bad book by any means, and writing this is a huge accomplishment, but it could have maybe used a bit more work and editing. There were for example multiple paragraphs throughout the story that said exactly the same thing with slightly different wording.
Also, this book has been marketed as a mix between Fourth Wing, Powerless & Lightlark and/or Fourth Wing & Tangled, and I’m afraid that comparing this book to FW might unfortunately cause some problems, because then people are expecting the book to be more like FW and if/when it’s not, it might affect their opinions about the book and the ratings. That said, the comparison didn’t affect my experience with the book or my rating.

“I’ve sold my soul to the devil, and now I’m his watcher.”
“The Exodus sends their regards.”
“Call me your Karma.”
Short and spicy novella with a secret society, a masked MMC, and a vengeful FMC.
This was a wild ride in the best way possible. Even though the book was short, there was a lot happening, and it didn’t feel rushed at all.
I loved the dynamic and the enemies-to-lovers aspect between the FMC and the MMC. They were both crazy and unhinged in their own ways, but they were a good match. I enjoyed the constant power shifts between them. Also, the spice mixed with the FMC's “stabby nature” was great.
And, of course, I loved Petey. He was adorable and brought a lot to Knox as a character. He helped to show more of Knox’s softer side.
I really enjoyed this book and would love to read more about this couple!

Great start to a new fantasy romance series!
The FMC Liora’s world changes and she has to learn and adapt quickly. I liked her as a FMC and grew attached to her and her story. The characters overall were well developed with interesting backstories and I can’t wait to learn more about them.
I enjoyed the banter, tension and relationship development between the FMC and MMC and can’t wait to read what happens to them in the future.
Also the magic system seemed interesting and I would like to learn more about it. I would have also liked to see a bit more world building and descriptions about different places etc.
The plot itself was interesting. The pacing was okay, the ending felt maybe a bit rushed, but otherwise the pace was pretty good.

“Who did this to you? Who touched what’s mine?”
“Forever mine, forevermore, through dust and darkest ash.”
Short (93 pages) Halloween monster novella.
The first part of the story focuses on the FMC and her experiences with bullying. I found this part to be a bit slow. The story picks up after the MMC, Jack, is introduced. I personally would have preferred less focus on the bullying and more on the FMC and MMC, their dynamic, and relationship development. The ending felt a bit rushed.
Jack seemed like an interesting character, and I would have liked to learn more about him.

“Just what New Orleans needed. Another fucking Pyro.”
“Okay, lil spark. You like to play with fire. Let’s see how well you handle the heat.”
“If being with you means watching the world burn, I’ll pour the gas and fuck you while the flames devour everything in their path.”
I’ve been so excited to read this book, and it was worth the wait!
Like the previous book in the duet, this one is told from two POVs: the FMC, Stevie, and the MMC, Lennox. The dual POV storytelling worked perfectly for the plot.
Neither of the main characters had an easy childhood. Stevie had a truly terrible and dark past that affected her character and the decisions she made. Some aspects of Lennox’s past were revealed in the previous book, and in this book it was revealed a bit more. I liked how Stevie didn’t let her horrible past crush her but instead remained strong and fierce. She didn’t need anyone to save her and was fully capable of taking care of herself.
The memories and revelations about their pasts helped to bring more depth to the characters and also explained why they made certain decisions.
I enjoyed the relationship development between Stevie and Lennox. The banter and chemistry between them were great. I loved their dynamic and competition (or the need to show each other what they’re capable of). And the spice was great too! 🌶️
The storyline itself was interesting and kept me entertained from the first pages to the end. The pacing was slower at the beginning and got faster towards the end. Even though the pacing was quite fast at the end, it never felt rushed.
The world and character building were well written, with detailed descriptions of the characters and their surroundings, especially at the beginning of the book.
I need Lennox in my life! He can burn me any time ❤️🔥

“What does it look like I’m doing? I’m going to skin you alive, of course.”
“If you want to die, I can arrange that, but I promise you’ll taste heaven before you walk with the dead.”
“Those were my choices: a wild hog, a poisonous snake, or a serial killer. It was there makings of a bad joke.”
I loved this book!
The book is told in two POV; the FMC, Alora, and the MMC, Greyson. I think the dual POV storytelling worked really well for the plot, and I was equally interested in both of their perspectives.
The FMC, Alora, had a difficult, traumatic past that affected her as a character, her thoughts, and her decisions. There were flashback scenes about her past throughout the book and I think those were really helpful for understanding her and adding depth to her character.
The MMC, Greyson, came from a different background, and some of his history was revealed through dialogue and by he telling about it to Alora. His previous studies were an interesting aspect, considering what he was doing. I also liked how some of his knowledge was incorporated into the story.
I loved the relationship development and dynamic between Alora and Greyson. There were some truly beautiful moments between them (“I am you” “You are me” “We are one”). And the spice truly was spicing! I loved the public scenes 🥵
There were some really sad moments throughout the book, but also some really funny ones that made me laugh out loud. Both characters had some really great one-liners that made me chuckle.
Besides the characters, the world-building also seemed interesting and well-written.
I’m not going to say a lot about the plot itself because I don’t want to accidentally spoil anything. All I’ll say is that I couldn’t put the book down and devoured it in one sitting. The pacing was good throughout the book — quite fast-paced but there were also some slower scenes that allowed more time to get to know the characters.
Perfect for anyone who enjoys dark, serial killer romance with lots of triggers.

“I should be scared, but there is beauty in the chaos.”
“Enemies do make the best lovers.”
Fast-paced fantasy romance with interesting magic system.
The FMC, Ameris, was fierce character with interesting and tragic backstory. I liked how she grew throughout the story, but I wasn’t a huge fan of her tendency to blame everyone else for certain things that happened to her.
The MMC, Xander stayed a bit of a mystery to me and I would have liked to learn more about him as a character and his past.
I have mixed feelings about the dynamic between the FMC and MMC. There were aspects that I liked, for example some good banter between them, but also some things I didn’t personally enjoy, like how badly Xander treated Ameris at times or how dismissive he was towards her. Also the bond between them would’ve needed more explanation, and I would have liked to see more relationship development.
The villain, Oberon was honestly a bit meh for me, and I didn’t enjoy the potential love triangle.
I would have liked to learn more about the side characters, their history etc. There were multiple characters that seemed interesting.
The plot itself was engaging and there was a lot happening. Unfortunately some parts, especially towards the end, felt a bit rushed.
And at times I personally would have needed a bit more explanation of what was going on. The magic system seemed interesting, and again, I would have liked to learn a bit more about it.
I would have also liked to learn more about the worlds, the Fae, and their history. Rhiannon seemed like a really important character but there wasn’t much information about her, and opinions of her seemed mixed.
Overall I think this story has potential. If you’re just looking for something fast and easy to read, you might really enjoy this one.

Short, quick to read and spicy. Loved the prey/predator dynamic and the chase through the forest.

The secret society aspect was interesting and I liked the explanation of how the Exodus affected both main characters’ lives and the society as a whole.
Full of action, especially towards the end. Couldn’t put the book down.
