This book came out of nowhere and sunk its claws on me! I went in blind, so so I wasn’t sure what to expect. But wow! JLA continues to write exceptional stories that I will never forget. I loved how Poppy wasn’t a helpless Maiden. I loved that she could fight and totally hold her own in battle.
Then there’s Hawke, who completely stole the show and my heart! Seriously, Hawke was just even more than I imagined. I loved how shameless he is when it comes to Poppy. All the things that would come out of his mouth had me swooning and quite possibly drooling.

The twist was one I saw coming very early on, but it never took away from the story for me. On the contrary, it just had me wanting to read more! The world-building and the action scenes are some of the best things in the story.
JLA has a writing that always makes me forget everything around me. I cannot wait for the sequel!
