The ‘romance’ ruined it for me. I still loved the fantasy aspect and the ‘fae’ element however I feel this book really romanticises the abuse …

from the evil prince to Callie. He got off on her tears. He tried to kill her multiple times, he tries to tear her apart emotional and psychological. Then they have sex…. It definitely crosses the line of the ‘enemies to lovers’ trope and the ‘villain gets the girl’ trope. This guy is evil and a sadist and yet he’s still romanticised.
