Review:

This book makes me feel bad for the characters but also want to be them. I don’t even know how it will end, but I just need to write down my thoughts on it now. Every word seems to be thought out and so to the point that the book is delicate but savory after the same time. It takes on such a big story and makes it feel small. I can’t wait to finish this book, and I will update you when I finish. WOW! Just wow! This book is the classic enemies to lovers but with gods and demons. The main checker is fantastic, and there is so much feeling in every sentence. It ends with her plotting revenge and how she will finally be free. It has cool art aspects and romance. I don’t usually give 5-star reviews, but this is definitely one of them. I thought I would be disappointed with the ending, and I might have been, but the author did an excellent job of not making it like she was giving up. This author has 20 other books, so I will definitely be getting more of them. Overall this book is awesome, and I will definitely reread it.
