Rezension von LisaDas Buch hat mich komplett umgehauen. Harlow und Henry sind beide sehr facettenreiche und vielschichtige Charaktere. Sie haben beide viel durchgemacht und verstehe sich deswegen auf einer ganz anderen Ebene. Ich Liebe auch die Dynamik zwischen den beiden. Sie sind witzig und spielerisch und verfolgen beide ganz gezielt ihre eigene Agenda. Die Funken zwischen den beiden sprühen nur so und wenn das Feuerwerk od geht, dann aber richtig (ich sag nur hunt Night). Ein wundervolles Buch mit einer interessanten Handlung, vielseitigen Charakteren und straken Emotionen.
Rezension von SelinaReally enjoyed this standalone! So many unexpected twists and turns never predictable and always engaging.✨
Rezension von Vivien Ganz solides enemies to lovers mit Slow Burn und Spice. Eine solide Story gespickt mit von Allem etwas: Magie, vampirartigen Wesen, Claim Zeremonien, politischer Intrigen, Traumata, Botschaften etc. Protagonistin unglaublich willensstark und klug. Manchmal schienen ihr rückschlüsse fast schon zu weit hergeholt, dass sie selbst darauf konnte. Leider ist mir das bitte etwas zu plump und so schnell abgeschlossen. Eine letzte Lüge, beinahe schon zu schnell verzeiht, das hat das etwas unglaubwürdig für mich gemacht. An sich aber ein Buch das Spaß gemacht hat zu lesen und ich interessiert war wie es weitergehen wird.
