I enjoyed this book and the continuation in the series, but I didn't love this as much as the first book. For some reason, I couldn't really connect to Veil or feel the chemistry between the two MMCs until about 45% into the book. After that point I was more invested and connected to the main characters and their relationship.
I will definitely continue this series and I'd recommend this book, but it's not my favorite in the series. ...more

This story has a fantasy element while still being rooted in our world, so you aren't overwhelmed with world-building. But there are enough different elements to make it feel a bit fantastical. The plot and storyline were interesting, suspenseful, and well-paced.
I loved all of the characters, yes ALL of them, and the relationships between different groupings of characters was just so fun to read. Which brings me to Wolfgang and Mercy, a.k.a. my new favorite goth couple.
If you're looking for a prime example of enemies-to-lovers, look no further. These two genuinely wanted to kill one another, threw barbs and verbal darts back and forth, with each landing a few hits. And then things start to happen, situations and feelings change, and I was grinning like an idiot the whole time I was reading.
In case you couldn't tell, I absotutley adored this book, these characters, and Loud's writing, including fun words I don't see that often in books (multiple uses of plebian!).
I cannot wait for the next book in the series and I wholeheartedly recommend this book. But please be mindful that this is a DARK romance, so please mind triggers.

And beyond the beautiful words, the story, the plot, the pacing and the characters were all wonderfully done and rich with detail and depth.
I loved that this felt like a familiar fantasy novel while also being something very unique and intriguing. My only complaint - what the actual cliffhanger was that?!
Obviously, I loved this and I highly recommend it! I cannot wait to read the rest of the series as well as whatever else Wren writes!
