• Friends-to-Enemies-to-Lovers
• Slow Burn Romance
• He Falls First
• Forced Alliance
• Secret Identity

The blurb caught my eye the first time and suffice to say, I'm quite satisfied with the execution!

I love the world building with three different tribes – Fae, dragons and gargoyles and each of them has their own territory.
There’s also the creepy Black Forest filled with dangerous creatures you could think of.
I enjoy reading where the main characters go through this forest and face some challenges together.

The story is told in dual POVs – Hemming and Ariel which is a nice touch. It helps the readers get to know their character and their thoughts better.
Apart from the main characters, I found others to be loveable as well like Shayfer and Sophia who liven up the story as well. 

Hemming and Ariel started out as friends who found safety in each other since they have something similar – they’re the product of two different tribes.
The blooming romance between Hemming and Ariel is what I like the most from this story. How their relationship slowly changes as they get to know each other again after 4 years of not seeing one another.

There’s a couple of surprises in the story, some I found predictable. Nonetheless it didn’t hinder my enjoyment of following through the plot from the beginning until the end.

Overall, this is a well written story and I enjoy my time reading this book. I wish the world building would expand since Ariel is still searching for answers regarding her identity.
I’m looking forward to read the next book cause this series has the elements to make a great series.
