About this deal

The goods do not need to be in their original packaging however in a sellable condition, and at your own cost and risk. Another thing that got me popping my vein is this branding that Clair had for coming up with the most condescending, crude heroines. But we still opt for those inks between pages because we need the plot, the emotional development as well as character growth! The pace of the story and writing complements this brilliantly, making for a flowing narrative that you hardly want to put down. Overall, if you’re looking for a little escapism and entertainment, and you don’t mind getting your paranormal fantasy with a heavy dose of smutty romance, then I would definitely recommend checking this out!

Isolde is a "thick" girl who cannot fit to slim standards, has been trained to fight and mostly uses knives and daggers. Isolde goes from not remembering anything to remembering everything and accepting the whole “plot twist” in the span of a few pages (by the way, the way she remembers and realizes who she is was SO anticlimactic). There are only so many ways to make vampires different and I think this was different enough to still be good. I also loved that Adrian always cleaned her blade for her whenever she killer someone—so sweet of him. Registered address: Unit 31, Vulcan House Business Centre, Vulcan Road, Leicester, LE5 3EF, United kingdom.I find that there are certain addicting qualities about paranormal romances that, even if you have some issues with it, compels you to gobble it up as fast as you can, and this book had it in spades! Isolde goes from completely rejecting vampires to accepting them and their way of life in the span of a few pages. Considering that I'm not a big fan of the author's previous works, I really delve into this with zero expectation. I finished this whole book and I still know absolutely nothing about him as an individual character.

TL;DR: If you love vampires, witches, and other paranormal creatures, a fantasy world full of political intrigue and backstabbing drama, and an extremely steamy but nonetheless swoony romance between fated lovers, then I would recommend checking this one out! once again I find myself a minority in my opinion of this book among my friends but I would still say : don't waste your time with this folks . I actually think it was more similar to A Shadow in the Ember… but either way, I felt like they are all a little similar in that they involve vampires and gods and are in the new adult genre, but the storylines and characters are still unique.You don’t get to say terrible things to someone and push them away, and then whine when they don’t pay you the attention you secretly want from them? you know in fantasy romance books when the main character goes through something life changing that sends her spiraling into hysterics something that has her sobbing crying and throwing up and then. this was a welcome relief after all the melancholy and deaths I have been encountering in more than half a dozen books that I read prior to this. As for the whole “witches” side plot and the big reveal at the end, the only thing that would surprise me about this “twist” is if anyone actually was surprised by it. Outside of rereading my favorites (all of Sarah J Maas’ works) I haven’t picked up a new fantasy in…maybe two years?

Sometimes I genuinely could not figure out if he was fingering her or fucking her, or if he came at all. Despite their undeniable chemistry, she wonders why the king — fierce, savage, merciless — chose her as consort. It only added to the immaturity I felt from Isolde, but from Adrian, it was a little harder to explain considering how old he is. The spicy scenes happened so quickly that I couldn't understand who finished when or what position they were using or what they hell they were doing. She describes herself as a “strong woman”, but she is petty and SO jealous, and believes she should rule because it is her right and she was raised to do so, and because of that I didn’t see her as a kind and altruistic ruler, but rather a jealous teenager seeing every other women as threats or people there to help and serve her.Yeah I saw it had been a while, but I’m more of a consumer than a poster on insta so no judgment xD I wasn’t sure where else to ask because I didn’t want to post a spoilery comment!
