About this book

Daisy Sandoval's life was never perfect, but it was hers. Until the night her soul was sold to the devil by the one man meant to protect her.

Korithax is no ordinary devil. He's the Prince of Hell, heir to a shattered throne, and bound by ancient laws that require a queen to claim his crown.

Dragged into a world of monsters, gods, and burning kingdoms, Daisy must survive court politics, celestial enemies, and the demons of her past. As she heals, an unlikely connection blooms between her and the dark prince sworn to never care.

But something ancient stirs within her.

To take the throne, Korithax needs a queen.

To survive, Daisy must become one.

But love was never part of the deal.

And the gods are watching.

I love how this was written. The characters being introduced and what brings them together. The slow intro into the fantasy worlds was amazing. It made it so much easier to remember and process the world building. Daisy represents what most of us feel trying to always be happy. Korithax with his brooding and no moral compass is peek touch her and ☠️. When they finally get together and grow was epic. There were some things I saw coming, but there was some I didn’t see which shook me. The ending...

This book was a masterpiece. I finished it nearly a month ago and I still can’t process that ending. I can’t wait for book two! )

Absolutely adored this book. I need a 7ft demon to call me his little flower on a daily basis! This was written so well, I could picture the world perfectly. Loved Daisy & Korithax, the side characters were also amazing. Loved the friendship between Daisy, Talia & Ezra. The ending had me gasping, honestly can’t wait for book 2! Would definitely class this as a dark romantasy, read the triggers and be prepared for spice! Overall 5/5 from me! )

Love love loved this book. Daisy and Korithax are perfect. A lot of hot and cold, will they won’t they - leafing to a lot of spiciness 👀 When reading, there were times I could really picture the different realms and that made this story even better. I’m very (im)patiently waiting for book 2 because I need answers! If you like spicy, dark romantasies; I’d urge you to check it out!!! )
