Thank you to Destiny for suggesting we buddy read this one because I am obsessed and I had so much fun discussing this book with you while we were reading it.
This was my first book by this author and it definitely won't be my last. I've actually already read a novella that is part of this series and I plan on picking up the second book in this series on Monday but I would also like to read her other books as well. I've been seeing this going around lately and I had a little interest in it and then Destiny suggested we buddy read it and of course I said yes because I will buddy read anything with her. I'm so glad we read this because I so get the hype and I need more of Oraya and Raihn like now.
Oraya is the adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king. This intrigued me from the get go and I wanted to know why an ordinary human was so special and well I got my answer. I have to say I never expected that to be the reason and I honestly still have some questions because some things were implied but we don't really know for sure so I am hoping we get a little more backstory in the next book.
Raihn is a vampire and he's an enemy to the Nightborn king. I loved getting to know Raihn with each chapter. Things were revealed about him that I didn't expect and I loved it although I'm not to happy with the way he handled things in the end so I'm really hoping he can redeem himself in the next book. I love Raihn and Oraya together and seeing them go from enemies to allies to lovers to... I just loved it.
I loved the tournament aspect of this book. The author definitely doesn't hold back on the gruesomeness so beware of that. I do wish we would have gotten a little more showing instead of telling with one of the side character but since it wasn't really about him I get why we didn't I just really liked this character.
This book to me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. The last time I felt like this when reading a book was when I read November 9 by Colleen Hoover like 5+ years ago. These books have absolutely nothing in common aside from the way they made me feel. My emotions literally felt out of my control and I was very anxious reading it toward the end that I had to make myself put it down and save the last 2 chapters for the next day.
This book was perfection in my opinion and if you haven't read it yet I highly recommend you do. If you love fantasy romance with enemies to lovers and vampires and magic with some gore and steaminess thrown plus so much more give this book read.
