Про книгу
Every person Harlow Carrenwell kisses dies immediately, and that’s the way she likes it. The poison-lipped youngest daughter of Lunameade’s magical founding family has used her power to annihilate their opposition. Her first husband is in the ground. Her new betrothed is next. But the merry widow has a secret. When she’s not acting as an assassin at her parents' whims, she moonlights as a vigilante for abused women in their walled-off city. Meet a man. Lure him in. Kill him with a kiss. Until one night Harlow kisses a mark and he doesn’t die. Worse, her invincible partner in passion is her new betrothed, Henry Havenwood, and now he knows about her double life. Instead of selling her out and bringing the rival families to blows, he does something much more sinister—whisks her away to wed in his wild mountain fort. Harlow doesn’t trust Henry, but the only way to protect her family and the city of Lunameade is to figure out what his family is planning. Cursed with a husband she can’t kill and trapped in a fort miles of vampire-infested woods from home, Harlow’s survival requires her to do the impossible: Make the man who knows she’s a killer fall in love with her anyway.

“VERY good but VERY long. This felt like a duet made into a standalone There was nothing that needed to be cut - no filler or fluffy parts, absolutely everything was relevant, just a very long story. This was so incredibly fun and interesting!! I loved the arranged marriage to the sort of enemy, and the magic paranormal elements Great banter, and the claiming???? A touch of vampires if you will. The ending was good, it all tied together well without major shock value and confusing loose ends”
“4/5 A dark, compelling romantasy that knows exactly how to make a morally complicated heroine feel like the most alive person in the room. Harlow Carrenwell kills with a kiss. She is also, quietly, a vigilante for abused women inside the walled city of Lunameade. Then she kisses a mark who does not die, and the man who should be a corpse becomes her betrothed, her risk, and the center of a power struggle she cannot afford to lose. Vampires in the surrounding woods. Rival families with teeth. A marriage that is not remotely safe. The concept delivers, the heat is unapologetically open door, a…”
“Conflicted on rating this book. While I enjoyed the overall story and plot, it felt like the ending had 10 different twists jammed together. I believe the book would’ve benefitted from sprinkling twists throughout the 2nd half to give more breathing room. Additionally I was annoyed that the author tended to repeat statements from previous chapters. It is a big pet peeve of mine when authors feel the need to recap events from earlier books in a series (small recap is fine but usually I don’t need a reminder). Recapping info introduced 5-10 chapters ago felt redundant since this is a standalon…”
