„I will burn down this pathetic world for you. Only you. You are mine, always.“

Wheeew, it´s getting hot in here.
Let me introduce you to your new book boyfriend: Jericho Van Croix.
A hot, brooding warrior with black wings who is only soft for you? Yes please.

This book has four POVs, of which three occurre more often. It also switches from past to present but it reads easy and I didn´t have any problem with the switches. The story flow is really good as well as the character development. The world building is *chefs kiss*, there is a little murder mystery in it which I really liked. The ending was mind blowing. This book literally has it all, Fallen Angels, Cambions, Sentinels, you name it, it´s there.

Jericho is possessive with a big P, he´s also very protective of her. When this man says he´ll kill anybody who touches her, he means it. He is one of those „hates everybody but is only soft with her“ men. The steam in this is through the roof, the sex scenes are very explicit. The dirty talk Jericho does….

The only thing that makes me snicker a bit everytime I read it ss the name "Lustina" which seems a bit weird to me, but I´ll let that slide. Also one of the plot twists you could see coming, but that was the only thing that I would critique and it is essential for the plot, so we´ll let that slide as well.

Overall this book was amazing and really had me in a chokehold the whole time, I could barely put it down. The plost twists are amazing and kept me want to go. The ending had me wanting to read the next book immediatly. I don´t know how I am supposed to wait for the second book to be released……

Nevertheless I want to give a trigger warning. This book is a Dark Gothic Romance. There is a scene about attempted rape (not caused by the love interest) and also mentions of rape, torture, gory murders, suicide and explicit sex scenes. Please be aware of that.
