book boyfriend: Death Death

paranormal romance

in the bybookishbabe library

this book belongs because…

i'm a sucker for a prince and death.

verdict

the chemistry is there from the beginning, but neither of them is willing to give an inch. between the paranormal worldbuilding, the constant push and pull, and an ending that had me immediately reaching for book two, this was a really strong start to the duet.

vibe

this book had me constantly stuck between wanting them together and wanting them to stay as far away from each other as possible.
it's paranormal, filled with tension, and has that addictive enemies to lovers energy where every interaction feels like a battle nobody is actually winning. there's attraction from the start, but neither of them wants to acknowledge it, which only makes everything more entertaining.
