Anna Hawke has absolutely nailed the romantasy genre, beautifully mixing the characters' longing for each other with a plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat and begging for more. It's so difficult for authors to balance the romance aspect between two characters and a fantasy plot that doesn't fall to the wayside as a result of that romance, but Hawke has absolutely done it.

Every character, main or otherwise, has a distinct personality, and their feelings are absolutely relatable to readers, even if the characters themselves aren't human.

The way Hawke has slipped the supernatural community into our world is spellbinding - it feels as though it really could be there, right now, existing under our noses, just out of sight. I read this book in under 24 hours and am about to start devouring the second. I absolutely cannot wait to see how the plot continues to build, to find out more about the other immortal races, and to see how (or if) they manage to come together to face external threats against them all.

I loved every second I spent reading this, and cannot wait for more!
