The Serpent and the Wolf Book Review

My Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The way I devoured this book should be criminal 🤣 Definitely one of my favorite books I’ve read this year out of the 27 so far…I have a feeling it’s going to stay at the top all year long. 

When the FMC brings a knife to her bed on her wedding night in the first chapter, you know an amazing story is going to unfold!

If you’re looking a book that’s full of feminine rage, you’ll get plenty of it.

“You call it anger, you call it fear, but it is none of those things. What lies inside of you is pain. The kind that burns worlds to the ground.” 

The banter 🥵

“Considering I’m only temporarily in your home and certainly not in your bed, I’d say you weren’t in the running at all.” “You’re sleeping half naked on my couch, so I’d argue I’m still in the game.” “What a feat, to only ever get a woman half undressed.” “Come over here and I’ll rectify the situation,” he purred.
