Loved the slow burn romance of this. Hope we get to see more of Vale & Lilith in future books. 
I’m definitely curious to know more of their timeline between this and book 2 of Crowns of Nyaxia

Kind of sad that I didn’t like this as much as book 1 ☹️
Don’t get me wrong this was still fantastic & wrapped up the story nicely but it didn’t hit as hard as I was hoping it would. 

Oraya could stab me in the leg & I would say “thank you. Do it again” 
she’s a badass & I’m in love with her. 

LOVED 
- THE WINGS?!?!?!? 🪽🦇
- Vincent’s background & closure with him 🥺 
“I tried, Oraya. I tried” (hey, I’m sobbing 😭✋🏽)
- the dual POV 
- THE DANCE 🧎🏽‍♀️🧎🏽‍♀️🧎🏽‍♀️
- “There she is” 👹 

That ending was on some sunset fairytale movie type shit… like bitch are you kidding me? I’ll throw up rn with how cute that was 😭🌅🌆

Surprisingly a lot more world building in this. 
“Cumfetti” was an alarming number of times.

“Elf me” this was so unserious, but entertaining. 
If I took a shot for every time the word “sticky” was used, I’d be black out drunk within 10 pages

This is about to be my newest obsession. This was delicious. 

Oraya is such a badass. Raihn is soo Cassian coded. 
Their banter & chemistry is top notch 😮‍💨  they had me giggling & blushing 🤭 loved the way the way they understood each other in ways no one else ever did 

“Are you going to kill me, Oraya?” 🥵😩🫠

DAMN I was NOT expecting that ending! Plot twists AND a cliff hanger! 

This has 
- VAMPIRES 
- fight to the death trials 
- MAGIC
 - vampire politics 
- high stakes 
- betrayal 
- ENEMIES TO LOVERS 
- badass FMC with BLADES 🗡️
- hot MMC with WINGS 🦇

Add this to your TBRs and read immediately! 10/10
