I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
K.J. Charles' plotting meanders too much for my taste, but her romantic pairings are always full of chemistry and steam. (The banter between Joss and Gareth is my favorite aspect of this book.) I also found the antagonists believably terrifying without becoming caricatures, which ramps up the tension--it made me want to keep reading. I'm looking forward to reading the other books in this new series!
