"This series gets better with every book, and it would seem that no matter how many times I read it, I never tire of it! Jude and Cardan are one of my favorite book couples ever! I love all of their banter, and Jude's scheming is top tier! The plot, much like the characters, is clever and well written, and world building is so much fun! I 100% recommend checking this series out!"

"This enemies to lovers trope has me literally SCREAMING I’m so MAD. How can they end it like this???? Really ?????"

"I absolutely love ‘The Wicked King.’ It is a masterpiece. The betrayals completely put me into shock and surprise.
This book is just so addictive, as well. It kept me up at night. I would tell myself, “this is the last chapter I’m going to read! Then I need to go to bed.” Chapter after chapter, I would repeat the same phrase.
In addition, this book focused more on Jude and Cardan’s relationship. I adored their simmering tension and their secret love for each other.
I’m so excited to read ‘The Queen of Nothing.’ "

"I'm hooked to this book like it's cover!, Good beginning where it left off in the 1st book, and a lot of the characters get developed and especially just that feeling sense of the characters can be a-holes just wait until the main character gets revenge on them, or just what I was thinking in my head, and can't wait to read more to it's next Story In this Fantastic Series, I'm already liking the 3rd book title."
