*Thank you so much to the author for an ARC of this title.*

I was highly anticipating reading this next entry in the Immortal Coven series. I was really impressed with LifeBlood when I read it last month. I was a little confused by the set up of LifeBlood (that is completely a ME issue, as Fantasy worlds can overwhelm me at times, but this time I was prepared and I was eagerly following along.

Naiya is the head of our Hybrid coven and in the beginning she and her sisters are called by the leaders of witchkind to face a challenge. They want to wipe out her coven but they don't know what they are in for when they force the fight.

Naiya is Hybrid of Witch and Fae (Winter fae to be precise) and when she fighting for her life, she also catches the eye of the Blood King. His kingdom is at war with the Winter fae, which is why it's super inconvenient that he seems to want her VERY badly.

Finrador is on a hunt to kill the Winter Queen and an Oracle has told him that a half-fae witch is his ticket to everything. So he stops at nothing to make Naiya his possession. Her body may not be able to fight him, but what will happen when he finds out her true parentage? He is a very possessive male, of course, and he is willing to do anything he must to make her addicted to him.

This was a thrilling romances of enemies to lovers, fated mates, and steaming chemistry. I wolfed it down in one day and I am aching for the next one. I am so invested in this Coven and their mates. I can't wait to see what happens in Inferno!

The spice was.... EPIC. Make sure to check the "Note to readers" at the beginning for TWs.
