I really really enjoyed this and the only reason it took me a moment to get done was cause of school. But oh my god this reached and scratched a niche that I love so much. Dark Romantasy with horrific monster, tension and angst! Yes give it all to me. This reminded me a lot of Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare but BETTER.
This story gives us Remi Watson, a young woman from New York that is about to start college at Columbia. Something requested to her by her deceased grandmother. And quickly Remi is thrown into a world of demons and demon slayers/secret society. And on top of that her best friend’s boyfriend is her guardian.
Forbidden love ☑️
Deception ☑️
Enemies ☑️
There is a little spice, one open door scene, and I love that we only really got one. It adds to the tension and the “forbidden love” into it. I was NOT expecting that ending and I appreciate we get a little piece Josh’s POV. I can’t wait for more of this series. It was like an action packed movie in my head as I read.
