Was this vampire smutt with a side of action and a dash of political intrigue? Yes. Was it a quick read that I had an absolute blast with? Also yes. This book is for you if you like spicy, fast-paced, action-packed, new adult, fantasy smut books.

If you're looking for a deep world building, complex political intrigue, fantasy romance... sorry to disappoint. Yes it has romance, but it is very erotic/smutty. I really liked getting to know the characters and the world. The twists are super fun, and it has a TON of action. This is very much, "touch her and you die" and I love that. I especially loved Isolde and Adrianโs spicy romance. ๐ฅ

I found it very hard to put down, everything was happening so fast I wanted to keep reading. As a fan of short chapters, I did find the chapters to be on the longer side. I really don't like stopping halfway through a chapter. But overall I really had fun with this book!
