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

Gabby Lucas

"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.’ "

Amelia (Taylor's version)

"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."
