  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

This book was so good I lost track of time, and was up reading this book until 4:19am. I was so hooked. This author is quickly becoming one that as soon as I see a book from Im going to have to read. I read another book earlier this year that was a fae book by her as well, and I loved it. She gets me so wrapped up emotionally in the story I cant put it down! 

This is an angsty, and emotional fantasy romance. The romance in this book is a heart wrenching fighting of the feelings the characters posses for one another. The book is fairly clean, it does have some spicy innuendos, inner monologue, and language. The book moves at quick pace following Lira as Tavish turns her life upside down on an unrelenting quest for revenge, and to save his people. Only he never expected it to be so hard to hurt her. Lira is confused, and surrounded by people who want nothing more than to destroy her. Tavish is buried by the expectations of his crown, and torn by what his heart is demanding. This book is an all consuming read that is going to have you almost in tears one moment, and nervous about the outcome of dangerous situations the next.
