I am NOT a dark romance girly in any sense, but this book was absolutely phenomenal. I never felt overwhelmed by the dark material and genuinely enjoyed nearly every moment of my read. The humor and banter really made me laugh and made the entire book feel lighter. I’d almost describe it as cozy? I was kicking my feet and giggling for this adorable couple. They are just perfect for each other. I expected the plot to take a back burner to the spice, but both aspects were firing on all cylinders! The narrators are both incredible.

I adored the banter and teasing between these characters. They’re hilarious, cheesy, and just the right amount of cringe. Elliot is the most adorable himbo who always strives for his girl’s happiness. He takes the time to learn her likes and dislikes, and always picks out the perfect gifts. Cassie is a firecracker who doesn’t take smack from anyone, and I love her for that. She’s definitely fierce and tough as nails, but also incredibly compassionate. I loved watching her work through her issues with her sisters and come out on top with stronger family ties.

I felt that the ending was very rushed. The big moments that the entire book built up to ended up falling flat. There was a moment where I considered if I was given an outline instead of the actual book. I felt like Cassie’s sudden acceptance of “I guess we’ll never know and I’ll just get over it” directly contradicted the character I had grown to know and love across the story.

An action-packed and steamy romantasy with fascinating world-building and loveable characters! Sorcha is phenomenal and fierce female lead. Zarios is overprotective and possessive, but supports her when it matters and doesn’t stand in the way of her dreams. We love to see healthy, open communication between a leading couple! Both the lead and side characters are wonderfully written. I couldn’t wait to see where the story went next. Hope to see more of this world soon!

This latest installment in the Trollkin Lovers series is much darker than the others, but still delivers on the heartwarming romance and steam that we love from Lyonne Riley. These characters make such a wonderful couple. Mia is an incredible addition to the lineup of fierce female leads from this series! Both her and Cragnorr will do whatever it takes to protect the other and fight for their happy ending. I was completely surprised by the direction this story took, and on the edge of my seat to see what happened next!

This couple is insanely cute! I admired the lengths they took to learn more about each other - Luna reading up on demon lore and Zain quizzing her human sister. This is a great read to kick off the spooky season! I really enjoyed the glimpses into what happened with Willow and Damien after the end of Spookily Yours. This book was super spicy too! Far more than any other book from this author that I’ve read. Definitely high heat!
