Serpent & Dove (Serpent & Dove, #1)

And just like that, I fell in love forever.
I haven't laughed/suffered so much while reading a book in a very long time.
I also just realized one of the reasons I liked this story so much is that the main characters remind me a lot of Matthias Helvar (my absolute favorite character from Six of Crows) and the gorgeous Nina Zenik. Their dynamic is very similar and they're both so beautifully characterized it's impossible not to be drawn to them.
And sure, this book gets a bit tropey at times, but it's easy to ignore when you're busy gushing and gasping and fangirling.
Anyway...
Lou and Reid and Ansel and Coco own my heart, and I need everyone to read this book because Shelby Mahurin is a genius and this story is a flipping masterpiece.

Quotes astarion's bhaal babe (wingspan matters) Liked
“Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from you.’” He trailed his fingers down my arm in slow, torturous strokes. My head fell back on his shoulder, my eyes fluttering closed, as his lips continued to move against my neck. “‘Where you go, I will go. Where you stay, I will stay.”

@AlexandraWasnt it just super awesome???
I loved this book too! I can't wait for the sequel to come out.
I loved this book - I can't stop thinking about it and how much I want to read it for the first time again :(
@SamanthaI feel the exact same way. The more I think about it, the more I realize just how good it was. The story, the writing, the characters and their dynamics. Can't wait for book 2!
@Lia, omg yes! 'how dare you, I am a god fearing Christian woman now!' and other parts were just gold!
That book is amazing and your review speaks only truth!!
