“I’d never once met a monster who could keep their word.”
“If only. Perhaps the two saddest words that could be strung together.”
“Who did this to you?”
I loved this book. The storyline and the characters were so well-written and really interesting.
The world-building was well-done, and the world seemed fascinating. I hope to learn more about it in the coming books.
I really enjoyed the banter and chemistry between the main characters. Their interactions were so funny at times. I also really liked the enemies-to-friends-to-lovers, forbidden romance, and slow-burn elements.
The FMC, Sylvia, was fierce and strong even though she was tiny. Her magic seemed fascinating, and I would love to learn more about her powers and abilities.
The plot itself was mysterious and full of twists and turns. I liked the paranormal/supernatural murder mystery and monster hunter elements mixed with fantasy romance.
I couldn’t put the book down. Overall, a fun, interesting, and enjoyable story.
Can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book.
