I actually bought this book on a whim during Amazon's crazy book sales. I love reading and supporting indie authors' works. This was an interesting one. I was intrigued by the cover and this book was a great novella to read while going through a reading slump. It's a short, fun, spicy read. Don't go into this one thinking it's a literary masterpiece but if you need a novella in between reading larger books or series then this is s good one.
Now, there were some editing issues and typos that threw me off and tons of plot holes between not just the story itself but between the FMC and MMC. The ending felt rushed and instalove. I wish there was room for a dual POV or more world building. But again I have to remind myself this is a novella lol I overall enjoyed this book. Don't have any expectations and just have a good time reading it.

I actually genuinely enjoyed this read! It is a novella and a quick fast past read so I’d keep that in mind as some things progress quite quickly. But even with it being short and fast paced I still feel like we got a lot out of it and I loved that. Some of the writing felt a little cringey at times but overall I enjoyed it. Romantasy lovers id definitely recommended this one for you, especially if you like spice!

Really enjoyed this romantasy novella! The characters were interesting and the story was great paced. The author managed to pack much into the pages and the tension and spice between the mcs was well done. I'd definitely read more and hope to meet these characters again! A couple of editing issues though at the end of some chapters.

I really hate this book. Like it feels like that the girl can't do shit and the guy needs to save her. And everytime she comes crawling back like some dog that doesn't know anything else then to fuck. Honestly if there was a way that I never have ever read this garbage I would.

I really liked the story line and characters and found myself wishing it was longer. The writing could have been a little more sophisticated but it was good for a short book. Very quick read!

Tbh this was like a wish.com version of acotar, only make her the fae and have her end up with tampon.

Got this as a blind date with a book book. It was meh. Not bad, it kept me entertained. But I was happy it was over.
There were a bunch of spelling and grammatical errors.
