If Scarlett St. Clair writes it.. Then it’s going in the cart. IMMEDIATELY. All of her books just have this way of pulling me in and never letting go. So naturally I loved this next book of hers.
Thank you to Scarlett St. Clair, Bloom Books and Tantor Audio for the opportunity to listen to an advanced copy.

Quick Summary (Spoiler-Free!)
Lilith Leviathan is rebelling against her estranged powerful family. Living in Nineveh she finds using her magic to steal is a horrible job to have but the only one she has, and when she steals a blade to sell to pay off her rent she finds herself wrapped up into the death of the shop merchant from the blade she had stolen.
Now she has to turn to the only man who can help her. Zahariev is the ruler of Nineveh, and the last person Lilith wants to help her.
What I Loved:
Favorite element #1 THE BANTER IS PERFECTION.. From the first chapter to the last page. The banter is absolutely amazing.
Favorite element #2 Honestly the short chapters from Zahariev’s POV were my favorite. Simple short and because I listened to the Audio, the man's voice was mesmerizing..
Favorite element #3 I love Lilith. Her kick ass attitude is so good.
Final Thoughts:
Frenemies to lovers. Eh… Maybe?
I honestly can't wait for the next book. I loved the banter between Lilith and Zahariev, it was *chef’s kiss*. The world building was done really well, and easy to keep up with. If you’re looking for a good mild spicy book then this is it, it was kinda more of a slow burn, but when it did get spicy it was so so good. It also didn't really feel that much of a frenemies to lovers, but more friends to lovers with a side of bickering and banter..
It was such a fun read, and I found myself keep coming back to listen. Partly because the story is so good, and partly because Tristan Warden who reads Zahariev could probably read me the back of a pizza box and I would listen to every word.
If you're looking for a fun fantasy romance then this is the book for you.
