I’d never really heard much chatter about this book, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. So begins the kill-or-be-killed stance between Zera and Lucien. And she manages to get until Lucien’s skin with alarming speed. She’s sarcastic, smart-mouthed, inelegant, and almost careless. Crown Prince Lucien d’Malvane hates the way the royal court fawns over him, everyone too aware of his status to actually stand up to him or correct him. If Zera’s cover is blown, Nightsinger will destroy her heart, effectively killing Zera for real. But then Nighsinger offers her a deal: retrieve the heart of a Prince and Zera can have her heart back–with one condition. Because as long as Nightsinger keeps Zera’s heart in a jar and out of Zera’s chest, she cannot go far from Nightsinger, nor can she have her own free will. But Zera longs for her freedom–and her heart–back.

She bound to the witch Nightsinger, who saved Zera after a traveling band of bandits murdered her family. Zera is a Heartless, an ageless, immortal soldier belonging to a witch. And while trying to clear out some books on my to-read list, I thought this would be worth reading considering it has consistently high ratings on Goodreads. I don’t remember how I first heart about it, but I know the title got my attention. This book has been on my to-read list for a while. I briefly debate telling him humans don’t taste all that good, until I remember normal girls don’t eat people. First Lines: King Sref of Cavanos watches me with the deadened eyes of a raven circling a corpse–patient, waiting to devour me the second I let my guard down.
