 This was amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed every dark aspect, and both types of romance: gay and straight. Every character was a dark cinnamon roll I pitied, rooted for, and wanted to give a big hug :DDDDDD 
 I REALLLLY want Radu and Mehmed to be a thing. But what happened to Halil Pasha's son???? I thought something was brewing in that sexual tension... Oh and, this is definitely a mature YA... 
 GIMMMEEEEE THAT 2ND BOOK NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
