This book was my first omegaverse in a very loooong while. Heck, I don't even remember when was my last book.
As the norm with this niche of a genre, get yourself ready for a morally grey/antihero hero and an uncomfortable amount of bodily fluids and graphic descriptions of con non-con (or was it non con? Idunno. It's hard to guess with this genre).
Anyway, with this one particular one, it has that mix of your traditional fantasy romance with kingdoms and impending invasions. As for the tropes, expect enemies to lovers, true mates, antiheroes, forced proximity, living in enemy's camp, some tortures stuffs etc.
As for my own opinion, it's a good mesh of your typical omegaverse book (and the subsequent plot devices) and your typical fantasy with warring kingdoms. I guess we'll see how the world building expand in the next book, or it could just end there and focus on the unique dynamic of Alpha-omega. For now, I'm still undecided. We'll see, peeps.
*I have received an ARC copy of this book through Netgalley and the publisher in exchange of my review. ...more
Because she gotta be one of the fastest authors to become my all time favourites.
With that said thouWHO IS THIS AUTHOR? WHICH HOLE DID SHE COME FROM?
Because she gotta be one of the fastest authors to become my all time favourites.
With that said though. Before you adding her on your TBR. Listen. I know my community here. I know some of you are freaks. And you'll fucking love her as much as I do right now. So go ahead. Have as much fun as I do with this one.
However, there's another half of you would find this... umm. How should I say this? Too much? The one that didn't like too much fluids in their romance. Because, honestly, this one is so filthy.
Damn. Is this your first Jordan Silver? Then, you're probably going to fucking hate this one. Go no further.Warning: Move on. Don't do it to yourself.
Damn. Is this your first Jordan Silver? Then, you're probably going to fucking hate this one. Go no further. Get away from this author.
Unless you're me. And you're in too deep.
Because what other books can I get the fuckery like a man going sympathetic labour pain instead of the wife? What book that can guarantee mind fuckery like a man high kicked the female villain in the stomach when she tried to seduce him? What book that can promise me guys with unrealistic cock sizes, no medium sizes coochies here too peeps.
In the end, why does it even matter? As long as I'm having fun right? Fictional, guys. Fictional.
To be honest though, don't read this if you're easily offended. Seriously....more
Riding off the highs of the last one, I'm back. Also, late realisation that this was a spinoff to another series. Yeesh. No (little spoilers incoming)
Riding off the highs of the last one, I'm back. Also, late realisation that this was a spinoff to another series. Yeesh. No wonder I feel like I was missing something.
Anyway. It has been four years since the event in book 1. Can you believe that? Usually I don't like that huge of time jump but considering that these two people are like in their 140-170 years old, I didn't think it was too much of a separation.
However, our male lead didn't think so. Woof. He was mad. Deliciously mad.
I have no idea where this is coming from, but I love their relationship. Despite all their lack of communication and slight misunderstanding, they talk. As much as I hate some of the stupid decisions they made, hell, they talk to each other about it, address them properly and move on, and still in love. Fuck. I want that in my romance.
Yes. This is exactly what I want again! I've hit the jackpot baby!

First of all. This is sets in a contemporary setting. Alternate universe where two races of mythical creatures (the panthenites and the malefics) rule the earth amongst us lowly humans.
It follows Ada, a panthenite, in a breeding contract with Damen, a malefic. Damen, you can say, the leader of his people. Meanwhile, Ada, followed through the contract to exact her revenge. What revenge? Yeesh, it would turn out your stomach once you understand what happened to her. That's where the dark in the dark fantasy comes in.
The world building? Just enough to keep you interested, though I would appreciate to have more. The character development? Yes. It's there and prevalent enough, despite that ending kinda spoiled it a little bit. Sexual chemistry? Fuck yes. Plenty of them and *cough cough* high quality.
All in all, recommend it to those who want a smutty dark fantasy with characters that have special powers and lot of sexual tension. No pussyfooting here guys.
Anyway, going in the second book right away!...more

Can I sell my firstborn for the next book please, Ms Fernando?
This book reminded me why I love reading in the first place. It gives me that butterflies in the stomach feeling. The high that lightens my head. That excitement of what else, what other interesting stories out there, that are just waiting to be found by me.
So yes. I enjoyed the fuck outta this book. And the fact that I have to wait until June to get my hand on the next one is just... TRAGIC. With that said, I will try my best to review this book without distracting myself.
What I love about this book are probably the tropes. Yeah yeah. Shoot me. Boohoo. Fated mates and possessive heroes are my jam. It's hard to mess those ups and why this book easily won me over. Add that to the palace intrigue, impending war with vampiric kingdom and burning sexual tension .Yeesh, I'm already drooling.
But I have to point out, if you dislike the chosen one trope, bitch, you might find it a tad too much. Because our girl is a little too special, if you know what I mean. However, I made my peace with that trope, since, ding ding ding, I couldn't care less about it. If you know how to make it not obnoxious with it, I don't care if she's the all powerful being that had been prophesied since the dawn of men. I would devour that storyline too!
Anyhow. Did I distract myself?
Absolutely recommend this. However, probably better if you wait for the next one to come out though. ...more

In a sense, this book has that joyriding feeling to it. Low angst, falling in love with a prince (almost a prince), supportive cast of members, low drama and all. Honestly, it's a type of book you went for whenever you need a lift me up.
In my case, I was expecting a little more substance to the story. A little more twists and turns. A word I detest, but I wanted a little more drama. And it was low on that. Super low, if you ask me. In the end, it just left me feeling unfulfilled. Hell, I wouldn't be mad if Lilah really did die in the end there....more

Honestly, didn't even realise it was a Rapunzel retelling. I was at a point where I'll pick up any book up, as long as it interest me. In this case, it was Only the Wicked.
It wasn't until the guy got himself blind and the girl escaped the tower, that it came to me. Ah hah. No wonder it feels familiar! Also, good for the author, for making him blind. Didn't think anyone would be that daring to stick that close to the original plot (breeding-mania aside).
All in all, it was a pretty okay read. The events before the girl escaped were top notch, the kind of dark romance I'm looking for. As for the after, it was fine. Hell, these two people ended up far more sane than they were before. Both got therapy they needed. A huge time jump before they truly get together, which in perspective, made them responsible adults. And there I was, hoping for a fucked up couple.
Yeesh, what am I complaining about? Anyhow, if you're looking for a questionable hero and a pretty decent retelling of Rapunzel with a dark twist, here you go. Just don't expect too much from the convoluted plot, ya?...more
