The Serpent and the Wings of Night, by Carissa Broadbent, was really my first true foray into romantasy published by someone other than Sarah J. Maas. I read a lot of fantasy, and a lot of romance, but I've actually not ventured into the crossover realms of Jennifer Armentrout, Scarlett St. Clair, Kerri Maniscalco, Danielle L. Jensen, etc.
I thoroughly enjoyed this - well-paced, interesting world-building and vampire lore, a kick-ass FMC, A+ consent between the MCs, well-executed plot twists and a cliffhanger ending that I'm still thinking about. Romantasy readers, and SJM fans in particular, it checked all the boxes for me.
I've pre-ordered the sequel and look forward to seeing how the duology concludes!
