I got this book from
Netgalley. This is the first book of the Duology written by
Darcy Fayton. I wish to thank the author for allowing me to read this book. This book was an amazing read but there are trigger warnings so proceed with caution. Here is the book description on Goodreads.

My Review
Oh, this book was awesome. It has everything that has to be there in a dark enemies-to-lovers romance. there are going to be some spoilers but I will try not to spoil too much. Our FMC is a wolf who has a secret identity which we don't know about until the last chapter. She is hell-bent on revenge because some 15 years ago her family along with King and queen of the wolf tribe was killed by The vampire king Hendrick. So to avenge them Our little wolf wants to start a rebellion but for that she has to go to this Wolf training academy where they train wolves to be pets for vampires.
So there are some derogatory themes. Vampires are ruling and they treat every other species as their slaves. Kira wants to end this treatment for the wolves and for that, she plans and get into the academy where she is surprised to find out that many things are changing but the treatment of wolves as saves will never change. she tries to get into a famous pack as part of her plan but she is claimed by the stubborn Vampire Nathaniel. and then she makes a deal with him to get into the pack again.
The book is very well-written I would say. The plot, the story everything is perfect. I started reading this book and could not put it down. The plot is so interesting that I was on the edge of my seat and the cliffhanger at the end of the book...lol...I was not expecting that. I knew something big would happen but not that.....anyway you're warned there is a spicy cliffhanger. I can't wait to read the next book.
P.S. If the author is reading I would say please please change the book cover. Create something beautiful that depicts the story well. The current book cover does not depict it well. The story is so good so I think the book cover should be excellent.
