OMG. This had everything you could possibly want in a book. Magic, heroes and villains, secrets and drama. Witches and demons. Love and loss.

I did not like this book. This was something so much more than like that there’s not even a word for it. This was lifelong, soulmate, can’t be apart, soul sucking, forever love. This book was absolutely incredible. I LOVE Sarra’s books. I own almost every one of them in paperback and ebook. This will be no exception.

I can tell this series is going to be life altering for all that read it. Sarra, way to go again! You freaking rock!

This new adult fantasy romance was gripping and fast paced the whole way through with a well developed protagonist, an intriguing setting, and high stakes! I listened to the early version on YT in 2025, not reflective of the final version.

This is my new romantasy obsession! It has everything you could ever want. The intriguing characters, the magical but treacherous world, the electric but forbidden attraction, and the villain you love to hate are all here. The story had me hooked from the beginning and flying through the pages to see what would happen next. I'm so attached to the characters now, and I need more!

Another brilliant work of art! Sarra truly understands how to keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish!! Get ready to fall in love with these characters! I cannot wait to see where this side series goes!!!

This book hit the perfect pace for me. I’ve been craving a true slow burn with a lot more action, and this delivered exactly that. It had everything I was looking for, and the tension between the two main characters was so good. I can’t wait to see what book two brings.

A great thrilling start to the series!
I heard this book on Youtube where she read it and it was great there, but it is so much stronger here!
The questions lead to more questions and when answers are given you feel there is always more…
I read all night and couldn’t keep it down..

LOVED This Book!!

I really loved this world that this book was set in...The Shard. It was really unique and immersive. Becca was a great character to follow, the trials were fun, and the found family was everything! Cannot wait for the next one in the series!

I first listened to this on Youtube before the edits/revisions. It's a delight and I'm excited for the rest of the series.
