This book was pure magic. It had everything that I could've wanted AND MORE. I am so in love with the characters and the world building. Can I please leave this world and go to Shadowmyer? ;)
This might be the best dark romantasy book that I've read so far this year. There are witches and demons and it was just so dang good. I read this book in one sitting and it is a long freakin' book, let me tell you!
Sam, our MMC is daddy death himself.. but when he meets our FMC Deianira, neither of them tell the truth about who they really are.. Deianira is known as the Tower of Chaos and is known to bring kings to their knees and rip their hearts out to steal their crown(s). Sam pretends he is less than what he is but knows who she is all along. This really helped build an awesome plot full of twists and turns.
I didn't want to finish this book because I knew I'd be wishing I could read it all over again immediately and boy, was I right. I haven't been able to stop thinking about this book since finishing it!
Sam is probably in my top 3 book boyfriends now, so thank you Jack Whitney for that. Now, give me the next book please. I miss him. ;)
YOU GUYS... THE SPICE IN THIS. **CHEF'S KISS!** I knew there would be some spice, but I wasn't expecting it to be THAT spicy.
"I'm yours. Whether the sun rises or dies, or if night encompasses us all into eternal darkness, I will be yours. Every minute. Every hour. Every moment until my dying breath, and should Death offer me reprieve after, a choice to continue living an eternal cycle of love and pain, I will be yours an eternity more."
"I would keep you until the sun burned out, and we were driven into chaos of a new existence, and then I would find you in the next one. In every life."
