    I'll be posting my full review on the publication date, but i can already say this: When a firefighter falls for a nurse with a broken past, love doesn’t come easy it comes in ashes, healing, and hope.

    Damn I did not think this story was going to GO THERE!!! This is truly a dark romance. Just make sure to check the trigger warnings because you will have to be prepared to what you are about to read.

    Dark academia meets political fantasy in this sharp, gripping debut that does not play by the usual dark romance rules. Tigest Girma delivers a slow-burn, enemies-to-companions story between a human and a vampire, set in a dangerous world of bloodlines, betrayal, and buried power. The FMC, Kidan Adane, isn’t looking for love. She’s searching for her missing sister, and she will kill for the truth. Her mission leads her to Uxlay University, where she learns she is the heiress of Adane House, one of the Eighty Families historically bonded to vampires. Kidan learns she’s the last heiress of Adane House and must graduate to claim her inheritance and get the help she needs. But power doesn’t come without a cost. The worldbuilding is rich, rooted in Ethiopian history and myth, and refreshingly centered on characters of color—something we don’t see nearly enough in this genre. The story balances lore and bloodshed, philosophy and pain. It’s not afraid to be brutal, and it never takes the easy way out. This is not a story of insta-love. It’s a story of tension, power, and understanding between enemies. The connection between Kidan and her vampire counterpart grows from necessity, shared purpose, and mutual understanding. The ending? Let’s just say I need the sequel yesterday.
