This is no fairytale-It's yearning and guilt of two burdened hearts that will leave readers breathless. Alira, a devoted demigod knight, has found herself trapped in the throes of a brutal curse. A time loop in which the demon kingdom's Blood Knight kills her every time. She is haunted by the attack she led on the innocent village of Thornhall, and her guilt consumes her from the inside out. After the twentieth time loop, she has finally had enough. Something has to change, lest she die at the Blood Knight's hand for the rest of time. A choice she hopes she won't regret-one to end the war between demigods and demons. Alira is shocked when she realizes that she's marrying the very knight who has slain her so many times. A daughter of Venus and a duke of demons. Their love is both cursed and destined-a marriage to save the fragility of their kingdoms. Kalel is as cruel as they come. A devourer who survives on the gilded blood of demigods. He wants to hate her as much as he did when Thornhall fell, but he finds himself warring with his heart over his emotions for her. Together, they unravel the truths of Faultore, that perhaps not everything is as it seems. The gods may be pulling more strings than they should. It's not a question of what love can conquer; it is a matter of what they are prepared to demolish in the path of it.

I really enjoyed this! This was so easy to read yet the plot twists and the story are crazy good. Im definitely looking forward to get the second book!
Ich würde dem Buch am liebsten 5 Sterne geben, weil ich die Welt, die die Charaktere und die mythologische Story super finde und es genau meinen Geschmack trifft. Leider fand ich die ersten 150 Seiten inhaltslos und einige Vorkommnisse danach sehr random #dragons. Zusammen mit dem Aspekt, dass Intimität oft eher ohne Consent stattgefunden hat, reicht es leider nicht für 5/5⭐️
Dnfed at 73% Da ich die Bücher von K.M.Moronova liebe, musste ich dieses auch einfach lesen. Die Idee war gut und anders, als die Bücher, die sie sonst schreibt. Leider hat es mich aber nicht so gecatched, wie die anderen. Mich haben die spicy scenes in diesem Buch aufgrund des Wordings so oft gecringed, und ich hab es nicht mal auf Deutsch gelesen 💀 (da wär es sicher noch schlimmer) Da es mich nicht so gepackt hat, habe ich es ein paar Wochen liegen lassen und jetzt weiß ich mittlerweile gar nicht mehr worum es genau gegangen ist, weshalb ich es abgebrochen habe.
This book was so fast paced I simply couldn’t put it down and finished it in less than two days. At first, I honestly thought the plot was only set around the moments the two protagonists get intimate with each other, but I quickly learned how guilt and repentance really were the force of this story. The characters are already broken - just as we know from other characters written by K.M Moronova - and how they deal with their feelings leads to a story about two knights fooled by the gods themselves. I could literally feel the inner turmoil the two struggle with and constantly try to hide from another by denying their longing for each other. This kept me glued to the pages and I did not for one second got annoyed by their back and forth. Some elements in the story caught me by surprise and I do not fully understand the world yet, so this book is not a highlight for me, but I really had a great time reading it and I didn’t see the ending coming. So I will DEFINITELY be reading the second part releasing in August!
