Daggermouth
An instant #1 New York Times bestseller!
Set in a corrupt surveillance state ruled by the masked elite, this true enemies-to-lovers dystopian romance that’s Conform meets V for Vendetta follows a mercenary who botches the assassination of the president’s son and ends up forced to marry him.
The first thing you’ll learn in New Found Haven is that mercy doesn’t exist. The second thing is that, from the highest glass atrium in the Heart to the windowless slums of the Boundary, the Veyra are always watching.
The last lesson is the hardest, but you must remember it: Love outside of your ring is a death sentence.
The city is carved into rings of privilege and poverty, ruled by the masked elite who will do whatever it takes to hold onto power. Obedience is demanded. Rebellion is crushed.
Greyson Serel has spent his life caught between two worlds. Publicly, he’s the flawless heir to the presidency. Privately, he’s entangled in secrets that could topple the regime. But when he’s forced into a political marriage meant to bind him tighter to the government’s brutal laws, he finds himself shackled to a bride as lethal as she is unwilling.
Shadera Kael is a mercenary raised to kill, not to wed. Yet when her bullet misses its mark, survival leaves her tied to the very man she was sent to eliminate. Trapped inside the corrupt heart of the city, she becomes both prisoner and wife, her every step watched, her every move tested.
Their union is no love story—it’s a battlefield. As secrets come to light and betrayals fester within the walls of power, Greyson and Shadera must decide between annihilating each other or burning the city to the ground together.
In a world where passion has consequences and loyalty is paid for in blood, their forced bond may be the spark that ignites a revolution. Or the fire that consumes them both.

I have complicated feelings about this book. Without the end this would have been a 2 star read for me. I really loved the overall message of women empowerment and the fact that they were the incredible force in this book and the ones who could end up overthrowing this disgusting and misogynistic government. However it took until 65% for me to be interested in anything going on in this book. It started off so slow and was boring to me, I didn’t like or feel connected to any of the characters especially the two major POV characters (the excepting being Jameson for sweet baby) so it made it hard to care what was happening to them. The end was really well written though and I enjoy a fantasy book with multiple POVs. I am looking forward to reading the next one. I have high hopes that the second book will be better and might be more for me. The audio saved this for me if it wasn’t for King Teddy I’m not sure I would have been able to get through it. I truly did love Elara and Lira at the end so more of them might make me enjoy this series more.

I wanted to love this so much more than i did. Well, I loved the ending, so the last 20% really grabbed my attention. I didn't feel like the first 80% fully grabbed my attention. Or at least the there were points where I just felt confused I guess. It was a good read, and I'll definitely be reading the sequel, but I didn't feel as engrossed as I hoped.

I absolutely loved this book. The ending had me shook, I did not see that coming! There were about three different twists in the last like 90% that completely threw me off but in the best way. Shadera is a badass and I loved her so much
