“I think there is a magical link between you and me. A bond that not even distance can break.”
When two young rival journalists find love through a magical connection, they must face the depths of hell, in a war among gods, to seal their fate forever. After centuries of sleep, the gods are warring again. But eighteen-year-old Iris Winnow just wants to hold her family together. Her mother is suffering from addiction and her brother is missing from the front lines. Her best bet is to win the columnist promotion at the Oath Gazette. To combat her worries, Iris writes letters to her brother and slips them beneath her wardrobe door, where they vanish, into the hands of Roman Kitt, her cold and handsome rival at the paper. When he anonymously writes Iris back, the two of them forge a connection that will follow Iris all the way to the front lines of battle: for her brother, the fate of mankind, and love.
I can’t believe that no one told me about this book sooner! I don’t think I have absolutely nothing to say about this book beside perfection!!! I am so in love with them and their love story. War, lost of life, grieving, love, pain, guilt is so raw, genuine, true that was so beautiful to read. Sentiments, feelings and struggles that are heartbreaking and uncomfortable but it’s part of live and of their lives and make you feel together with them. It’s an emotional book that will stir a reaction from you and also make you fall in love. I knew something would go on when was getting close to the end but I couldn’t imagine that the cliffhanger would be this brutal.
Five stars are not enough for this novel. It was nothing like what I was expecting. HIGHLY recommend this novel and make sure you have the second book on hand right away. I can say I am at very least grateful I waited until Ruthless Vows was released because if I read this and then had to WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL?! I would be crying.
