THE NEW DARK FANTASY ROMANCE NOVEL FROM ALEXANDRA CHRISTO, AUTHOR OF TIKTOK SENSATION, TO KILL A KINGDOM.
Enter a world of gods, mortals and monsters . . .
Atia is an immortal trickster who feeds on fear. As the last of her kind, she thinks herself safe from the wrath of the unpredictable Gods.
Silas is a Herald, carrying messages and ferrying the dead as punishment from the Gods for a past crime he can't remember.
Atia would never dream of working with a servant of the gods, but when she breaks a sacred law, Silas offers her a deal: he'll help her avenge her family and take on the Gods. In return, she must help him break the curse that binds him and restore his humanity. All they need to do is kill three powerful creatures: a vampire, a banshee and one of the very Gods who destroyed both their lives. Only together can they finally rewrite their destinies.
Perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas, Tricia Levenseller and Leigh Bardugo, this is a thrilling fast-paced fantasy with breath-taking romance.

unexpected to me, I really loved it. In its simplicity, everything falls in the right place.
This book is dual-POV told by the two main characters. Asia is a Nefas, a monster feeding on fear, while Silas is a herald, sort of messenger of the gods and he who carries the souls of the dead to their destination in the beyond. They ally together to help each other (Silas wants to get his memory back and Atia wants to get rid of curse inflicted on her by the gods) and discover mysteries of their condition as well.
We have a map (hehe, I love maps) and we see that there is a mortal realm, which is divided into four kingdom, one for each of the four elements, and a divine realm, called Oksenia, divided in districts by rivers. In the mortal realm, also monsters live, like vampires and banshees, all subjected to the laws and punishments set by gods. I would usually dislike mixtures from different repertoires, but in case, I felt it worked pretty nicely.
I also loved the side characters and in general the characters and the romance were very lovable.
The weakest point of this books was its predicability. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the characters, the setting and the magic so much that I didn't mind it too much.
