City of Thorns

"This series is an entertaining quick read. Good for people who like KOTW."

"Highly recommend this series. I flew thru this."

"This book has some refreshing aspects I wish other books would have too.<br/>For example our Rowan keeps it a secret why she really wants to be in the City. But she isn't stubborn about it, once an opportunity arises she shares her secret. I read too many books where the MC would have kept quiet and tried to do everything by themselves.<br/>There are interesting side characters, the world feels alive because there are more than two characters involved in the story. I can even remember the name of the servant, usually I struggle to remember the name of anyone besides the main characters, because they don't matter.<br/><br/>The book starts weak and the first few chapters were a bit hard. But then it just keeps building up and up and up. I am honestly upset that I have to wait a few weeks for book 2.<br/><br/>The cliffhanger is bearable, I could have imagined other authors would have cut the book a few pages earlier to build a really horrible cliffhanger.<br/><br/>The psychology stuff felt out of place. There was one sentence where Roman tells us which part of her brain is currently reacting and uh...too much."

"This is has been on my shelf to read for a while now. I liked the storyline enough to pick up the second book and in comparison it is obvious how much the author's writing improves from the first to the second. Love how modern day meets the magical."

"A <i>generous</i> 3 stars<br/><br/>I liked the concept - the idea that this book was going with - but the execution didn't do it for me. It read juvenile, though the genre, chosen words and parts of the book were meant to be new adult. I'm going to read the next book only because the ending of this was sort of a cliffhanger, and I'm curious enough to know what happens next, but I do feel like my suspicions may be correct. The ratings do get better as the series goes on, so I'm hoping so does the writing."

"Super good book. Couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait to read the next book"

"This was a really fun read I enjoyed every moment of it. We have our fmc named Rowan who currently has so much student debt, has annoying stalker and lives in a horrible apartment. After watching her mom die she wants to find out who killed her and get revenge. <br/><br/>She is captured by the lord of Chaos who mistakes her for Mortana who was a succubus. He realizes that she isn’t actually Mortana and they team up to trick people in the City of Thorn by having Rowan pretend to be Mortana. <br/><br/>This book had a mortal female main character, demon main character, revenge, fake dating, spice and secrets. Chaos and Mortana had chemistry and hot moments, just when I thought I had figured everything out that ending happened"
