I received a gifted audiobook ARC from Netgalley. I voluntarily read this book and am leaving an honest review.
I am DEVASTATED that this is a debut novel.... Because I can't binge read 10+ other books by this author right now. I loved this book so much. I couldn't put it down and finished it in one listening session.... At 3:12am when I SHOULD have been asleep for hours already.
The tension was incredible. I feel like I really went on this hate to love journey with Rosie because I definitely didn't think I would end up adoring the MMC and want to protect him. After the way he came at romance readers/authors I was ready to fight! But Katie was able to make me completely do a 180 along with Rosie. It was so believable and the characters felt so relatable.
I'm excited to see more from this author in the future.

I LOVE Raven! She's so funny and strong and I can't wait to watch where she goes from here. I am a sucker for mythology so I was excited to get some Egyptian mythology in this book.
This book was a bit slower paced than the first book, but I think it was necessary for ALL the world building that we got. I am so excited for the next book! I NEEEEEEEED it now!

Ektaa knocked it out of the park yet again! I felt ALL the feelings and cannot wait to keep reading. These characters are everything. Some of my theories were right on track, but other things took me by surprise. Loved every second. I will definitely be continuing the series.

I was gifted an audiobook ARC of this book through Netgalley. I voluntarily read it and am leaving an honest review.
I loved this book! The audiobook has FANTASTIC NARRATION. I could listen to this narrator all day. Jessica Threet portrays the characters perfectly.
I loved this book just as much as the first one (which is to say A LOT). I love Rebecca Thorne's writing and these characters so much

Oh. My. Goodness.... Phenomenal! With her first book I think Tigest Girma has already become an auto buy author for me. The tension? Intrigue? Rich backstory? Secrets? All of it was outstanding. I finished approximately 15 minutes ago and immediately began scouring the Internet for a release date on book 2 because I'm DESPERATE. I am already looking forward to rereading this right before book 2 comes out to prepare.... And I may not even wait that long to reread because I already know I will pick up on small details so much more during a reread.

I received a gifted audiobook copy of this from PRH Audio. I voluntarily read this book and am leaving an honest review.
I wasn't a big fan of the narration of the audiobook, but I really enjoyed this book. As a former Okie who lived in Oklahoma City I LOVED seeing Ada, Chickasaw Nation, and more OKC area things get mentioned in this book. The familiar area was definitely a bonus for me.... My Step-Mom who was raised in Sulphur probably won't believe me when I tell her Sulphur was mentioned.
A few lines felt a little cringey, but not enough to make me want to stop reading.

Omg I love nerdy YA Romcoms like this one! This was so so so so good! As a nerd (especially with D&D and fantasy shows/movies/books) this was so fun to read. The characters are amazing and I was sucked into the story very early on and I just HAD to keep reading. I'll definitely read more from this author. I just finished and I already kind of want to reread it.
