Synopsis:
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.
This was a booktok recommendation that really piqued my interest. I tend to love enemies to lovers so I was already sold but it also had mythical gods at war which is right up my alley. To me though, this book really started off slow and I actually contemplated about putting it down. However, I'm glad I didn't because once the two main characters were surrounded by the war, it really hooked me in and I couldn't put it down. Rebecca Ross did a great job writing this wonderful enemies to lover story that just so happens to end with a huge cliffhanger that will make you immediately preorder the next book that drops in December.
