Two words. Fucking. Hilarious. The commentary and dialogue were so funny and the narrator for Josh in the audiobook version did a PERFECT job delivering such comedic lines. I honestly only picked this book up because of the audio snippets and I do not regret it one bit.
I think this is a great intro to dark romance for someone who has only ever read lighthearted novels. It’s definitely got the dark and kinky elements of dark romance but keeps the overall tone fun and playful.

I don’t know what it is about this book but it really just sucked me in and the next thing I knew it was over. I absolutely adored this book. The world was so interesting and the characters had such emotional backstories. Overall this book was such a great blend of all my favorite elements of what makes an entertaining read.
The romance was exactly what I was looking for and the plot was interspersed enough to keep things from dragging too much. So much hurt/comfort and angst OMG it was so good. Rion and his trauma especially got me. I just wanna give him a big hug and all the love he deserves. 😭
This book honestly had a little bit of everything:
- Fae Royalty
- Forced Proximity
- Forbidden Love
- Enemies to Lovers
- Villain Gets the Girl
- Fated Mates
- Tortured FMC/ MMC
- Morally Gray MMC
- Hurt/Comfort
- Chosen One
- First and Only Love
- Touch Her/Him and Die
- Dark Fantasy
- Magic Powers
- Dual POV/Narration
If you like any or all of the above I highly recommend!!
