They took over the world three hundred years ago. The shapeshifters. They tried to pass as fair angels or benevolent magical beings, but I know they’re far from that. The worst ones might be the bird-shifters who tried to enslave us, but the others are no better than bystanders who’ve never tried to protect us either. And now, one of them has my father and wants me to work for him. He’s as insufferable as he is handsome, but I need the money. I don’t need his help, though. I’ve always managed everything without any help. I may be only human, but I’ve been building weapons to kill his kind since I was a teenager. My aim has only ever been to overthrow the shifters, and now, I have to save one. But not everything is as it seems, and maybe we can help each other. I’ll do anything to save my family, though, so I guess I’m about to find out.
Thank you to the amazing and fantastic author for sharing a very early copy of this book with me !!! I’m ready for a reread � again and again and always with these two !!!

For the first born daughter who sacrificed and who never though their could ask for help and didn’t value themselves as much as they should have. I should have seen it coming. From the dedication on the first page, I knew this book would have been different from the other two in the Ever After series. I simply didn’t know how much. Florentine is such a strong and resilient character and so many of us can clearly see ourselves reflected in her. But behind her strength, there are doubts and insecurities like for every other human being. Brice is able to bring those all to the surface while being both an insufferable idiot and a charming bat man with a heart of gold, desperately trying to get his emotions back, after the terrible torture he has bene through. Their dynamic was so enjoyable, that I found myself incapable of putting the book down. Their banter, the way they riled one another up, was amazing. And the spicy scenes � they were as hot as they were emotional. The feelings that were brought to the surface were so intense that I didn’t know if cry or feel excited at the same time. In this kinda beauty and the beast dynamic, these two are fighting like they don’t want to lose one another. And when the moment where they finally share their emotions comes � chaos ensues!!! And I was so in for that!!! To be fair , very very early on I might have developed an unhealthy obsession for Brice and the fact that there was dual PoV � it didn’t help one bit. When I found myself in his mind � boy, the things I wanted to do to him and say to him. That bat shifter is as much an aşșhole as he is perfection !!!! And I love it!!! I’m so so honoured I got the opportunity to read a very very early copy of this book. I felt called out every once in a while, just to be called in the action and the romance in a way that made me tear up !!! And the ending � I might start bursting into tears again because of how good it was !!!!
