If there’s one thing Verity will consistently do, it’s spontaneously make terrible decisions. Sometimes they work out well—so far, smuggling her rescue cat into the shadow realm has been a great success—but more often than not, she ends up with a bigger mess to clean up than she started with.

If there’s one thing Theon will consistently do, it’s plot his brother’s demise after losing his spot in the line of succession to King Allerick. It has yet to work out well for him, but there’s a first time for everything, right?

Especially now that Theon has got himself an ex-Hunter of his own to feed from, and he’s stronger than ever.

But Verity isn’t going to let Theon get away with his treasonous ways, not when he has so much to offer the shadow realm. For the first time, someone believes that Theon has the capacity to do good in the world.

If only he believed her.

If I were to get on TikTok right now (finally) to promote a book, it would be this one. I freaking loved it!!

I didn't much like Verity going into this book and I didn't like her in the beginning of it. But then something happened... the way she interacted with Theon made me see another side to her. Actually, several sides and I realized that I was oblivious to the nuance of her character and then I fell in love. Was she still a silly, vapid, superficial woman? Yes, yes she was. But she also had so much depth to her, especially when it came to bringing out the best in Theon and allowing him to bring out the best in her.

I found I had a ton of sympathy for Theon and I wished that he had a better relationship with his brothers. Hopefully with the way things unfolded in this story, their relationship will become stronger than ever. Honestly, the way Verity constantly came to his defense made me smile so big. A male who never had a defender suddenly had the staunchest of supporters.

Go Team!

Seriously, this story ended up being one of my favorites of the series and now I'm even more excited to read the next one.
