Black Heat is one of those fantasy books that completely consumes you. I am a sucker for a fantasy book with women in power so this was right up my street from the very beginning.
Our three leading ladies come from very different walks of life: Marzal the heir to the throne, Rayn the fierce blacksmith and Elena the gentle midwife. All three of them are absolutely badass in their own way.
I loved reading the different POVs and seeing how their stories ultimately come to a head in a thrilling climax. My only gripe is that it’s a standalone and I’d quite like to read more from this world!
Thank you to Hachette UK, Bex Hogan and NetGalley for my early review copy in exchange of a fair and honest (late) review.
