Broadbent builds realistic and gripping tension as Raihn and Oraya navigate the roles of rivals, lovers and potentially co-rulers . . . There’s plenty here to sink one’s teeth into, Morally grey men, vampires who bite, and a heroine who bites back twice as hard . . . Smoldering with heat, Broadbent leaves us begging for more in the best way!, An addictive enemies-to-lovers romance . . . Fans of dark romantasy won’t want to miss this, Carissa Broadbent's The Serpent & the Wings of Night has all the fun of A Court of Thorns and Roses, but it will also appeal to Twilight fans because vampires are at the centre of the novel, If you are a fan of dangerous fantasy worlds, bloodthirsty vampires, swoon-worthy romance and a completely terrifying deadly competition, The Serpent & the Wings of Night is going to be a book you will love
Carissa Broadbent has been concerning teachers and parents with mercilessly grim tales since she was roughly nine years old. Since then, her stories have gotten (slightly) less depressing and (hopefully a lot?) more readable. Today, she write fantasy novels with a heaping dose of badass ladies and a big pinch of romance. She lives with her fiance, one very well behaved rabbit, one very poorly behaved rabbit, and one perpetually skeptical cat in Rhode Island.

I'm really satisfied with this order, though I do have to say one corner of the cover was creased despite the bubble wrap. That wasn't much of a problem, however, because the book is otherwise in great condition. I'm just really happy I own a copy now.
The title is hooking to say the least not to mention the anticipation I felt when I opened the book.
this is an amazing book that allows for further research. Not only am I learning more about South Africa's very own elite group but also politics, business, finance, fraud, monopoly. these are all the things that make this book amazing. I love the page featuring the names and pictures of supposed members of the mafia or men who play a role. I love the south african histroy in the book. I love the notes at the back of the book. I love the index and abbreviations that were explained making it easy to follow along.
