5.0

If you like well written Romantasy books this one’s for you. 
My favorite elements:
• Kick ass heroine, with superb growth arc
• Enemies to lovers trope 
• Mysterious background trope 
• Super hot chemistry between main characters 
• Male POV during key moments 
• Complex character development 
• Made me laugh and cry 

This is the first book in the series. It ends with a resolution to the current plot arc but, you’ll have to read the next book to see what happens to the main characters. Fortunately, the series is complete, as the fourth and final book was just released. In other words, no waiting for the next book to come out. Highly recommended.
