Why I Picked It Up:
I picked this one for my spooky reading challenge on Seekquel, and I also wanted to continue the series. And honestly, it was such a good choice for the season!
What I Loved:
I REALLY loved the concept of this book, especially the hunt and how original each night's challenge was. It kept things interesting and made the story feel unpredictable. The atmosphere and world-building were also amazing, and I loved how immersive everything felt.
The pacing was another highlight for me. It was fast-paced and addictive, and I found myself wanting to keep reading to see what would happen next. And the ending? WOWWW. The twists really added to the experience! 👀
I also absolutely loved the sisters. Their dynamic was such a lovely part of the story, and I really enjoyed their interactions. 🤍
The Romance & Characters:
The chemistry was definitely there! I loved the dynamic between the characters, and the enemies-to-lovers aspect worked really well for me. Their banter and interactions made the romance even more enjoyable.
My only issue was that, at times, the relationship felt a little too focused on lust rather than love. I would have preferred a bit more emotional depth to balance out the spice.
What Didn't Work For Me:
There was a little too much spice for my personal taste. While I enjoyed the chemistry and the romance, I would have preferred fewer spicy scenes and more focus on the emotional connection.
Tropes & Vibes:
Dark fantasy romance, enemies to lovers, magical hunt, sister dynamics, gothic atmosphere, eerie vibes, and an addictive plot.
Overall, 𝘌𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢 was such an addictive and atmospheric read! I loved the concept, the originality of the hunt, the sisters, and the twists. Despite the spice being a little too much for my taste, I had a great time reading this one. Definitely a great pick for spooky season! 🕯️📚✨
