HOLYYYY SH*T I ABSOLUTELY DEVOURED THIS BOOK.
New Found Haven is a city where the masked elite rule while those who live in poverty are forced to obey or die. There are no trials. There is no mercy. There is only the justice meted out by the elites. Greyson Serel, the president’s heir, is one such elite. To the public, he is a heartless ex*****oner. In private, he is trying to bring his father down. Shadera Kael is a formidable assassin, and her newest assignment is to kill Greyson. When their meeting doesn’t go as planned, the two find themselves shackled to each other in an impending marriage that would benefit the elite. With no other choice but to obey, the two find themselves leaning more on each other the more they learn. The real question is: will their tentative bond be enough to overthrow the city’s corrupt regime?
Holy heck was this book fun to read. From the political intrigue, to the world’s complex lore, to our lovable characters, to the ending that blew everyone’s mind, it is easy to see why this book became a social media sensation. Personally, I loved everything about it. Shadera is a murdery FMC (my favorite kind,) and the dynamic between her and Greyson was SPOT ON for a true enemies to lovers. I appreciated the realistic pacing of their story arc, and also loved how other characters were given just as much backstory and spotlight. The fascinating setup of the world drew me in completely, and that villain? The worst dude you’ll ever read. This story kept me on the edge of my seat, between the character relationships and arcs, the twists and turns, and the real emotion that radiated from every page. I would absolutely recommend this to dark sci-fi romance lovers, and honestly I can’t wait to read it again.
QOTD: Enemies to lovers or friends to lovers?
