Overall I was disappointed with this book considering the overwhelming reviews it’s received. The plot twists weren’t twisting. Unfortunately, I was able to predict the plot as early as the 20% through. The dialogue and inner dialogue throughout the story (especially as you near the end) also feels really repetitive. I started the second book but stopped 15% through. The next book just feels like a repetition of the dialogue and dynamics within this book.

I couldn't even finish this annoying book. My goodness...this book is just terrible. This is just another vampire and werewolf book just named different. I can not understand why so many people are falling in love with the main male character, he's creepy. This book just fell flat, it was supposed to be a "spicy" book, but to me I just found myself getting the ick. No thank you.

Some descriptors are repetitive, but I rather enjoyed the full cast audiobook version - definitely made it much more enjoyable and makes me want to continue the series

I really enjoyed this book. There was just enough foreshadowing to keep you guessing and enough intrigue to keep you turning the page. However, there is one reason it's not five stars and I explain that further down in more detail. Overall, I'm hoping my main issue is somewhat grown upon and thought about more in the second book. I CANNOT wait to read it despite that as I thoroughly enjoyed it.



*SPOILERS AHEAD*





My only comment would be on the relationship dynamics between Hawke and Poppy. It started of SO good and I knew there would be some form of betrayal and a story of it being forgiven and then growing from it. But - I feel it escalated MASSIVELY from her finding out he's a 'Descenter' to he's actually the Dark One. She stabs him, believing she's killed him. Then they have incredibly hot sex and he's decided they're going to be married? And she fins out she's half-Atlantian? This literally happens in the space of three or four chapters. Too much too quick. They went from being flirty guard and Maiden to WHAMBAMTHANKYOUMAM, we're from the same race and let's get married.

Despite that I'm looking forward to the sequel!
