❤️❤️❤️Eeeeeeeeeee I LOVED THIS SO MUCH!!!😍😍😍
👑This Dark Companions series has been some of the most immersive and exciting and imaginative worldbuilding I've ever read in the genre and I cannot get enough of it!! The Shadow Prince's Ruin was simply stunning to devour and this was quite possibly my favourite from the Merikan babes, and I've not stopped feeling gleeful about it!💍
🍄The characterization here was beyond brilliant! Sylvan was so precious and otherworldly, with an air of melancholy wrapped around his dark ambitions and I ADORED him!! And Hawk was everything ferocious and bold, sexy and growly, but such a marshmallow for his bae and I MELTED!!! They were perfection together and I could read them forever! I legit cried through the last 10%, and I truly found their love journey a meaningful and evocative one!🍷

🐺The narrative was on fire and I was pretty much sold from Hawk's kick ass intro NGL! Everything about this story was ROMANTIC and I thoroughly enjoyed the playfulness and the drama, the revelry and the heroics, and how it all came together in the end. I LOVED the dreamy supernatural energy of this dark and magical realm, and I'm already excited to reread this series for when Book 3 drops!☀️
🦋I'm still swooning and my head is filled with Sylvan's cadence, and Hawk's big feelings, and the majesty of the Nightmare Realm and I'm highly anticipating all the beautiful adventures still to come! I hope this series is 6745817435678 books long because Dark Companions is magnificent and lights up my brain and makes my heart all squishy and has me missing this gorgeous world in earnest! There's no better compliment than a book hangover imo so I'll be moon-eyed over this series for a while and i could not be happier about that!🌝
