“Beyond Those Gilded Walls,” by Jessica S. Taylor 

 

I loved this book from beginning to end. I loved how the FMC is being taken advantage of by almost every single person in her life in her past and currently. I was glued to the pages hoping she would man up and find her inner strength to put every single stupid person she knows in their place. I was really attached to her and how realistic it was to feel helpless and just wanting to be loved, it kind of was a healing type of journey while reading to see a character go through this during the book. I loved the plot with the plague and shadow magic, which made a perfect combo. I loved the enemies to lover’s slow burn type of romance. When I got to the end of the story all I wanted was more, I could not wait to read more books by Jessica S. Taylor. And a bonus to the amazing story was that I loved the cover, would look perfect on my shelf with it dark and spooky vibe. I listened to the audio book, and it was amazing, the narration was absolutely solid, and it was definitely a book I ordered a physical copy of right away. 5 out of 5 stars, perfect.
