This book was amazing! The banter, the adventures, the SPICE 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️, the storyline in general is just *chefs kiss*! Seriously, so good. It does start a little slow but once you get to about chapters 5-6 it really picks up and you just don’t want to set it down! I can’t wait for book 2 and see where this goes. The cliffhanger has me at the edge of my seat! I cannot recommend this enough! If you love dark romance, fantasy and spicy content…. This is the book for you!!! So run, don’t walk and get this one!!

Starts a little bit slow, but once it picks up, the spice level and adventure left me not wanting to put it down! Highly recommend for the dark romance and romantasy girlies!

i loved the plot and spice mix and im so excited to see where the next book brings us as readers.
I felt like there were times where i had questions and had to go backwards a little to find the answer but that might have just been my brain not catching on right away lol. I loved the characters and banter as well 🖤

READ IT!!! … and hurry up! Book 3 is about to drop! Off to grab book 2 now because no way I can stop reading after THAT ending!

Oh darkness my sweet release. Read your triggers! This book was written just for me. Spice. Paranormal. Why choose. Possessive. And that cliff hanger created so many questions I don’t know what to do with. I’m off to get book 2.

This book starts strong and doesn’t slow down! The hits keep coming, and so does the spice…OMG the spice! Definitely worth a read, the plot is absolutely twisted, along with the characters!

Pandora K. Spencer came out of the gates swinging with Dark Restart. This spicy why choose had me squirming in my chair late into the wee hours. There way have been some giggling mixed with some choice words. All for good reasons!

FMC: Nix is a take no shit woman who is not scared to make her voice known. Like some of us women, we just need to be reminded how badass we truly are.

MMC: Orion and Galen are my favorite characters who weaseled their way into my heart, pretty quickly. Throw in some fantasy aspects, and you have this book. I want to know who your favorite character is!?
