What it’s about

Breaking the curse will risk her heart, her life, and the future she never thought possible.

Before Arya was Chosen, she knew nothing of what lay waiting in the eternal night—certainly not alluring yet arrogant winged Watchers, a cursed queen, nor the possibility that she could be more than a runner, carrying messages through the vampyre-infested wastelands of Valdihr.

But the biggest surprise waiting in the dark is the brazen Watcher who sparks her heart and calls her a Huntress.

A hundred years shrouded in darkness and Arya is the only one who can finally bring back the dawn. With a blessing that marks her for death and an infuriatingly tantalizing man at her side, Arya must embrace her calling and her courage in order to face the danger lurking in the shadows. Because the night holds more than just secrets, and the monsters are closer than she realizes.

What I Thought

Thank you NetGalley and City Owl Press, Mystic Owl for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve got to start by saying this book had a lot of potential, it has a map which I know is a big plus for some people and for me all of the names were easily pronounceable because my pet peeve is names where they’ve just shoved a lot of consonants together.

One thing about this book was it was a quick read and the story flowed really quickly. So much so that the love interests get together and about 3 days later they’re professing their love for each other and one can’t live without the other. If you’re into instalove this is for you.

The ending to me felt a little flat, we have the build-up of how powerful the Queen will be once she is released but we got a quick fight scene at the end and all is right with the world again.

I’m sure there are people who will really love this book but for me, it’s a like not a love.
