Brutal Rival by Ember Holt is part of The Princesses of Ruin Series. This is the first book I’m reading by this author and oh my gosh did I love it! This book was amazing and I couldn’t put it down. The worldbuilding I thought was done really well and it set the tone for the book. I could clearly imagine everything I was reading by the descriptions. I read it in about a day, I barely put my kindle down. I’m a huge fan of the genre romantasy and this book definitely lived up to it. The plot just kept giving and it kept me intrigued/interest all the way to the end. It was the perfect mix of plot and spice for me. I absolutely loved the characters of Zane and Scarlett. It made me smile at the soft spot he had for her. But what a great pair, I really enjoyed reading their story. Oh my, the banter in this book! Even though this book is a standalone I can’t wait for the next in the series. I’m a fan and I definitely would recommend this book!

Final review:

5 out of 5 stars
