About this book
Once, I was feared by all who gazed upon me.
For the past century, I have served, defending my crops in solitude, baring my scythe as an omen.
But when the crops aren't seeded, I find myself standing over a field of dirt and weeds.
It is her fault.
The female who has inherited the farm. She might be the new queen of these lands, but in her wake, she brings only ruin.
So, I will scare her away. I will claim these fields, and she will learn to fear me!
Until one evening, she is attacked by the crows. She cowers behind me for protection, begging them to spare her life.
Her terror and desperation stir me into action...
Nobody, not even a god, is allowed to frighten what is mine.

There's quite often a time where there is a fl in a book, that just annoys the living crap out of you. And this is one. It's like the \"don't go in that room!\" And they go in that room, or \"run away from the scary monster!\" And they just stand there and stare at it. But the most annoying female leads are when, you end up witnessing a magical world... And you wanna go home..? Like... Whyyyy? Why would you want normal after that?

This book was great and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope the series continues with more additions. It has a perfect balance of conflict and spice. This ensures that it feels like a traditional book with a plot. Despite that, it still has plenty of spice to keep things steamy. Many authors cannot achieve this balance. I often find myself skipping pages as more steam is the only thing in sight but you want to know the characters better. This book is not like that. I happily read every page and...

I’ll be honest - my friend recommended this book and I was, to my present shame, very skeptical so it languished on my TBR for months. However, it’s so well done, the characters are so relatable, and the plot so well-rounded and intriguing that I found myself enthralled. Great, enjoyable read with a sweet romance, the perfect amount of spice, and plenty of magic. I highly recommend it - especially around Halloween. ;) ) One person found this helpful

It started off really strong, I was so into it until about 60% through. The spicy bits were good but they took up a good chunk of the book and I feel it derailed too much from the plot. The ending was summed up sooo quick with a ton of left out answers. Idk i really wanted to love it, it had so much more potential. I did love the characters and the detailed imagery but I was hoping for a little more oomph plot wise. All the mysterious plot build up just to sail through it in a couple paragraphs...
