And of course… a brooding, horned fae book boyfriend with am witty tongue and murder in his eyes.
Ratings
Overall Rating: 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book grabbed me with its intricate worldbuilding and the creative retelling of the Arthurian legend. I loved all the little nods to the classic tale with Merlin, Lancelot (Lancelet), and the sword Excalibur all making an appearance.
Spice Level: 2 Flames 🔥🔥
This book is the slowest of all slow burns. The tension rolls off the page and, by the end of the book, the reader is begging Morgan to grab Draven by the horns.
